I don’t think I’d lump long charging times in with car problems“
It absolutely is. Try being stuck in a big traffic problem at night in the winter in a bad area, you aren’t get off for 10 minutes grabbing some gas and getting back on. Just one scenario l can think of several others just off the top of my head.
Have to agree with you on this about the range issue. For one, don't go anywhere without a full charge in case you could get stuck. Also a problem for ICE vehicles. I've run into this with my ICE cars, where I had to abandon my car after running out of gas. Sucks. Because of that, I started packing an extra 2-gallon can in my trunk when on long trips. Never know if you have to do long detours because of a forest fire or snowstorms (both happened to me).
When I think of “car problem,” I think of mechanical and electrical failures of the vehicle.
I suppose you could lump crappy “refueling time” in as a “car problem.” It sure doesn’t make it a reliable or practical hauler for moderate or long trips.
