If you screw up, you can usually get to a charger a few blocks away and snag 50% of your battery in 20 minutes.

I charge entirely off of a standard 120 outlet, and it easily handles my daily and weekly travel needs, along with my partner's numerous errands and extra trips throughout the week.

    you are assuming functional infrastructure, not everywhere has that.

    Gonna go out on a limb here, and guess that people living in a cabin where the electricity only works a few hours a week aren't going to buy an electric car.

    As for access to public chargers... I just spent the weekend in a rural area and had no problem finding a charger within 20 miles of me.
