That's not what people want. They want a vehicle that can go a few hundred miles and then be refueled easily in a few minutes. Period. If we could build an EV today that did that, we would. And the reason for that is absolutely elementary - it's because we know that would cause EV adoption to skyrocket quickly. Anything short of that is tough sell, and a long road. That's the way it is.
Is the convenience of filling up at home generally seen as a plus? Sure, of course. But it's clearly not enough to outweigh the drawbacks of range anxiety.

Nope, but thanks for the offer. I'll continue to look at the data as it comes in.
