Even if this technology were perfected for safety, charging times, last of charges, prices, maintenance...there remains a practical problem: What if you have a long term power outage? Imagine after a major winter storm knocking out your power for several days, or even a couple of weeks as sometimes occurs...even with the roads improved enough to allow for travel, you still cannot get anywhere to get anywhere for provisions. This would put even more pressure on public services having to rescue and come to the aid of even more people who would not have needed aid, and those would have needed aid may have to go without it.
This is what the Powers That Be want. They want you dependent on them for everything. Slaves can't be self reliant.
Think hurricanes, no power for weeks and you’ll wait for hours to fill your car.
I came up the turnpike once and the line to get the love bugs off your window was 45 minutes. I see people dieing during a storm trying to evacuate.

I got out of the Navy in 12/70, returned to college in 1/71. In 1/72, southern Illinois (I was at the Univ of ILL), experienced a 5 day period when the high temp was -20 def F. A tow truck pushed my VW bug 3 times before I got one cylinder to fire intermittently; took 5 minutes before the engine was running regularly.
Well, unless you had the forethought to store gasoline or diesel, you would be in the same boat as the EVs. No power, no pumps either. Some stations do have generator backup in some areas, but none around me do. At least there is nothing to indicate they do. No exhaust pipes for generators or anything other than normal looking buildings. And when the power goes out, they close down, too.
