And with charging stops once you embrace it the dynamics are different:

With fossil fuels you first drive to the pump, fill up, then take a break for restroom, food, ...

With an EV you drive up to the charger, connect and do the other things. A while later you come back and drive on.

Also instead of a long charging stop when the battery reaches 0% you can plan for multiple short stops, which is positive for concentration. (Given enough chargers)

> Most electric car owners don’t rely on public charging infrastructure at all.

Right. For commute usage you charge over night at home and/or at the office while working and can completely avoid the weekly (or whatever) detour to the gas station completely.
