Product's construction complexity is irrelevant and always was. What matter is usability convenience of the end product. Apple's products are selling not because it is easy to make them, but because it is easy to use them. As an owner of BEV, this is massive PITA of current generation of electric vehicles. * They are more expensive than ICE * If you can't charge at home, EV's are massively inconvenient to own, especially when you need to fight with half-assed applications to control charging. Why am I using Another Stupid App (tm) to charge, when I need NO app to get gas? * Charging takes ludicrous amount time compared to taking gas. * If you are forced to charge on fast DC chargers, EV's are also more expensive to run than ICE |

From the post you replied to:
"What is overlooked in the debate today is that BEV cars will be much cheaper than ICE cars in the long run."
It's relevant because it relates to cost, which is your very first bullet point.
In the USA we're already moving toward mandating a simple credit card tap/swipe for payment. This should be done globally.
Your other issues are solved by adding more charging points, which we need anyway. If you have L2 chargers at your curbside/work/grocery store/movie theater/etc (where your car is parked anyway), the less you need to rely on costly and time-consuming L3 charging.
