The simple bit is already done, EVs require way less upkeep. The affordable bit is done as well, those ones are just banned to “protect domestic auto markets” (depending on where in the world you live).
The fast ubiquitous charging is still very location dependent. In CA I have no issue finding chargers on roadtrips. I imagine TX is not the same. If you happen to have access to a charger at home or work then 99% of your problems are solved.
Seriously, I’m not even in California and charging is a solved issue
charge at home is half the price of gas and the car is always ready to go
free charging at work is icing on the cake
trip charger in every direction.
Limited by my road trips, I can tell you that everywhere between Virginia and Boston has convenient trip chargers …… and I never bothered looking at anything other than tesla
Even only the north east and California had trip chargers, that’s a population close to 100M. And most decent sized cities everywhere have trip chargers - we’re covered for at least half the population, and probably much much more
