Sounds much more complicated than spending five minutes to fill the tank of my car and going whenever and wherever I wish.
Dead on the money!
The key term to have in mind when you’re reading about EVs is: “Energy Density”. It’s a simple concept, just the amount of energy per unit of space or volume...think of dynamite vs. a D cell. It’s damn hard to beat the energy density we’re accustomed to by making a trip to the corner gas pump.
To drive the point home, take a look at this chart, and especially note the position of the Lithium Ion battery:

No way the feds (or states) are going to allow you to charge with household electricity. There will be separate metering so as to apply the appropriate highway taxes.
