That last part is the problem. The "oh noes, it will take 4 hour stops to ... cccchhaarrrggeee" types need communication. They think it will take 1000 mile ranges to replace their Corolla.
You might not know if it you haven't seen the discussions with people who have 0 experience with EVs, but there's a ton of misinformation being actively spread.

Considering the debacle that was the Energy Secretary's 650-mile EV road trip[0], perhaps the misinformation isn't quite that. It doesn't matter if you can go 10% to 80% in 20 minutes, if none of the four EV chargers at a highway stop are free.
I personally rented an EV for a weekend trip to a major coastal metropolis (certainly one that professes to embrace the energy transition) a few months back. I picked a hotel that claimed that it had EV chargers. The reality on the ground was that only one of eight or so chargers was working, and that one was occupied by the same car during my entire stay.
If the stuff being spread was "road tripping EVs without the supercharger network is bad", I'd agree with you. After all, that was the takeaway of the article and it is true.
CCS networks are terrible. I rarely see one that is more than 75% operational. "EA" is so bad in places that they look like literal sabotage.
The supercharger network is a totally different world. And yes, I've done both to compare. :)
