I honestly doubt it. People with "range anxiety" will keep moving the goal post. They'll complain A) that's still not fast enough, B) there aren't enough public chargers, C) "the grid can't handle it."

What we have right now is good enough for a lot of people. I don't live in the most EV friendly area, but I know a few people who own EVs with no at home charging. And one of my Tesla owning neighbors parks his car in the driveway regularly, only charging occasionally.

If gasoline shortages hit tomorrow, a whole lot of people claiming they couldn't own an EV because of the limitations would figure out how to make it work.
