I mean.... it depends on your requirements. The charge time is most of the time the dealbreaker, because humans are lazy, with an EV you can not just go "oh i forgot to fuel up, lets go to the next gas station and fill it up in seconds" rather "Oh i forgot to plug in my EV after a long drive, guess i will have to wait some hours".
But still EVs can take you far and it gotten pretty far in the technology, but i guess the battery still holds personally me off buying one.
<<“Oh i forgot to plug in my EV after a long drive, guess i will have to wait some hours”.
On a lot of models its like 20 minutes to charge up to 80% and typically by businesses where I can grab groceries/food/coffee. Charging tech got good a few years ago.
The only thing I'm still leery of is long trips to national parks since something like Yellowstone has limited charging nearby. It exists, but probably more EVs looking to charge than available spots.
You brought up another point: For longer trips charging stations is not easy to find ( definitly not in my region ).
