> To me that's a really weird analogy. Nobody would think about putting a gasoline tank and pump in their garage

That's because we don't need to. ICE is predicated on filling up every 1-4 weeks. EV is predicated on charging overnight.

> There's plenty of public charging infrastructure in Europe. Fast charging on the highways, slow charging in living areas.

But..where do you charge overnight? That's what the previous poster is saying. If you can't afford it, or you live in an apartment, what then?

You leave your car parked outside at a slow 22kW charger. But with a full BEV, you don't need to charge every night, just like you don't need to fill up your gasoline car every evening in your own garage.

Not just like. I can fill up my car in 5 minutes and it lasts 1-4 weeks. That's why I don't need to fill it up every night.

That's not the case with PHEVs, or even, I believe, BEVs.
