I've been driving electric since 2014, started with a used 2012 Leaf, which had about 75 miles of actual range. As a daily driver it was fine, replaced one gas car in our home, and we went from consuming 800+ gallons a year to just over 400. Three years later, we replaced our second gas car with a used 2017 Volt, PHEV with 53 miles of electric range (350 miles more on gasoline). So, the only time we burned gas is when on vacation, and the odd long distance business trip. That year we burned 57 gallons of fuel, after that never more than 40 gallons. We drove the Volt for two years, sold it for pretty much what we paid for it, and splurged on our first new car ever, a Model 3, and have burned no gasoline since.

During the entire time, we charged at home, and never "ran out" of fuel and got "stuck". We come home at the end of the day, plug in, and the next morning we have a full "tank". The Tesla gives us access to the supercharger network, of which there are 17 in our state.

As time goes buy, more people and businesses will add chargers to their parking areas. The US is lagging, but the EU and China are moving very quickly to transition to EVs.
