Plas, I have 2 EV's. One here and one in France and I could not agree more with your comments. In Summer both are charged from my PV panels. In winter they are pretty much useless for anything other than short trips. I cannot rely on charging away from home. Not having the right charge card. Chargers showing available and out of order when you arrive. Different cars gave different charging plugs. I can go on and on,
Another thing of note, how would you charge your vehicle if you lived in an apartment, terraced house? We also assume that every country has electricity being cabled into the home. The reality is the opposite.
What will revolutionise EVs is the evolution of batteries and the efficiency that can be mass produced and cheap. Until then the combustion engine will be king.
