Even my friend with a tesla had issues. Not so much with a lack of stations, but making his way to one and finding someone had damaged it so it wasn't usable. Plus even though the charge times are down, having to wait 20 minutes for the car to charge when you have kids or whatever is obnoxious.
The infrastructure will get better. I bought in 2023, and a hybrid made more sense for me then.
Not going to discount their experience but I feel like mine should be equally valid. I take 3-4 road trips/year with nary an issue other than 1 or 2 stalls being down or a short wait during the holiday season at a packed charging station, over the last 4+ years.
After 4+ hours of driving, I am more than ready for a short break. I will typically stay stopped for longer than it even takes to charge while I get something to eat.
Not discounting you at all, just saying that was the situation in 2023 with people I knew. Doesn't make your experience more or less valid.
