I disagree , you highly likely to have a driveway in a low density area (e.g. the country side). Many small towns already have at least 1 rapid charger and it’s growing rapidly. There are already far more charging points than there are petrol stations and there is relatively low adoption of EVs. Those existing charge points also have relatively low utilisation. There are charging points are everywhere, you just don’t know it because you don’t use them or look for them. Have a look at Zap Map.
The biggest hurdle is actually town and city centres where there are far more cars and street/communal parking is the norm. There are very few practical barriers for adoption in rural areas. Just the usual issues with cost and availability.
My point wasn't so much about charging at home, more about charging whilst en-route/at your destination. Sure houses are more likely to have a driveway in the countryside; the problem is, most of those driveways aren't yours, and the owners aren't going to take too kindly to some random person pulling up and plugging in
Taking long journeys in an EV shouldn't be more difficult than in an ICE, but unfortunately at the moment it
might be.
With petrol or diesel, you can run down to 20 miles left in the tank, pull up to any services and there is a 99.999999% chance you will be able to fill up your car - even if it's busy, you're unlikely to have to wait more than 10-15 minutes.
With electric:
The services has to actually have a charging point.
The charging point has to be working.
The charging point has to be available.
The charging point has to not be blocked by an inconsiderate **** in a rep-mobile whose paintwork is about to get scratched to hell by the charging cable when I "carefully" manoeuvre it around to try and reach my car.
Basically you always need a plan B, (or even C), which means charging more often (you can't run down to 20 miles left if the next potential charger is 25 miles away!) and journeys need to be planned more carefully.
For many people, the above issues are (understandably) just not worth dealing with, meaning they don't see an electric car as being feasible. Making the cars a bit cheaper won't change that. Fixing the issues people have with them just might.
