Note that I said "More practical" not "EV usage impossible"
Emergency services, extremely rural communities, people who live and work in situations that dont provide adequate charging, courier services, tradespeople who have to travel to multiple jobs a day and yes definitely people who need to tow. Many of those are infrastructure problems yes, but my point is that ignoring edge cases and trying to gaslight people into believeing they dont exist makes your argument look less valid and it hurts your credibility.
My Aunt lives on a cattle farm that is 100% off grid, has to drive an hour to the nearest town and doctor and 3 hours to the nearest actual Hospital. You cant tell her with a straight face that range anxiety is all in her head.
