Most people are still clueless about EVs. For them an EV is unfamiliar, an oddity, an outlier. They know their ICEV; they don't know an EV. They aren't sure about charging. They are concerned about the ability to travel where they want. They are afraid of running out of charge and the time it will take to recharge, or simply getting stranded on the road. It is not enough to see charging sites on an app, they need to see them frequently on the road. They want to travel everywhere they can dream about, not just in narrow corridors. They want chargers to work, every time and all the time. More models will raise awareness and might even get them to look in the showroom, but that will not alleviate the charging infrastructure concerns. Dealerships must also embrace EVs. Not necessarily to the exclusion of ICEVs, but at least on par. An EV must be one of their showroom models, and they need to be knowledgeable enough to talk about them and answer questions. There is a long way to go before all these things come together, and adoption will be a struggle until it does.
