Flawed analogy. Cars represented a paradigm shift in transportation and made things possible that were unthinkable in the past (like the great American coast to coast road trip). EVs are just another way to power cars. They don’t make transportation more convinient, or cheap, not for now anyway. They actually require a compromise. You need to plan your trips around the available infrastructure. They will see mass adoption when 1) charging stations are as common as gas stations, 2) charging times are comparable to or better than filling gas in a car and 3) their acquisition and maintenance costs, and resale prices are comparable to or better than their ICE counterparts.
