Us Boomers spent the afternoons growing up switching engines and transmissions in our cars, gapping plugs, setting points, adjusting valves. Today's youth can't start a lawn mower. And I'm well aware there are charging stations listed in GPS's, I just don't particularly want to wait in line and then wait 30 minutes for a charge to go another 300 miles.

The bolded is my biggest issue with EV. I think they are a great technology to continue investing in and if accessibility can be improved, are a great alternative. However, like AU said, charging times and locations are the issue. I can fill up my 15 gallon tank in about two minutes and be off on my way. I work from home so I don't have to travel to the office, but if I had somewhere to be and had forgot to charge my car, I am screwed. Or, if I am on a trip and need to stop and charge, it is very costly in time.
