My absolutely biased take is that ICE car drivers are so accustomed to their frequent trips to the gas station that they just can't imagine a vehicle that does not require this.

Granted, that observation applies mostly only to single family home owners who can run an L2 EVSE. It is naturally different for people who cannot charge at home.

But I think there's also often an assumption that an EVSE is some elaborate expensive thing. I charged for years at 3kW, and drove 100+km a day on that. It was fine. Even an L1 120v charge could just fine for people who are going like 30-40km a day, which is a lot of people.




ICE drivers are also accustomed to filling the gas tank to the top. You can save a lot of time by stopping charging at 80%.
