There is one thing that's standing in the way of EV's trajectory.  All the apartments and condos built prior to 2015 have no capacity for them so it rules out a good segment of the population, and unfortunately, of the demographic that would want an EV.

ETA - Kia is coming up with a fast-charge, long range EV6 which you can charge once a week or two.  Something like that would be a game changer for the condo dwellers but the price range will be 55-70K from what I've read.

As someone who lives in an older building, this is a concern for me. One of the reasons why a PHEV appeals. I could charge it up when opportunity presents without worrying too much. Also being able to fill up with gas on long drives (most drives are long drives when I leave Kim City) would make planning road trips easier.

One of my co-workers bought a Kia Niro PHEV last fall; she filled up the tank in November and it's still half full.
