>That's crazy to me, gasoline is so much more expensive than electricity, why wouldn't people charge the batteries more often?

Of course any sane person would want to charge their car electrically. So I can only imagine that the inability to do so is the problem.

My guess would be because many people can't. In most European cities having a dedicated place to charge your car is not affordable to most people. Which is one reason manufacturers targeted their BEVs at the higher end, the population who has a garage and can install a charger there.
