I don't own an electric vehicle so I might be ignorant here, but I'm still struggling with the concept of everyone needing their own plug-in for their vehicle at home. Right now it might be needed being early in the uptake, but wouldn't the practical application with widespread adoption be similar to filling up at a gas station today? Let's say EV use picks up enough that most gas stations have replaced half or 3/4 their fuel pumps with fast chargers. A stop once a week at the gas/charging station for most commuters should get the battery full and should last them quite a while. Unless I'm just not aware of something with EV performance, there probably isn't a need to have it constantly as charged as much as possible.
Most people wouldn't ever take advantage of the extended range vehicles. It's kinda like people buying big trucks for their daily commute because once a year they might use the box for moving something, and once a year they might go on a rough gravel road or something. You're better off buying a vehicle that satisfies 95% of your usage, and renting a vehicle for the 5% of the rest of the use.
For longer drives, I'm willing to bet the average driver only goes about 2 hours of driving before making a bathroom or snack break. If you have chargers at regular intervals on highways then those stops aren't really lost time (assuming the capacity for the amount of EVs needing a charge would exist). Sure, if you're the outlier who stops once on your way to Vancouver from Calgary, or you're going to the ski hill every week in the dead of the winter, go wild I guess. Otherwise, there's not much reason you need to have a gas tank or battery capacity to go 600 km in one go.
