I do not see it as pessimism.
The logistics are a reality of the migration from gas to electricity most EV proponents refuse to acknowledge.
Even if one of the car makers came out with the Model T of EVs tomorrow, durable and long ranged at an affordable price, you still would not see a massive rush to purchase them because the installation of an EV charger in your home requires a cost and level of effort the average car buyer does not want to deal with.
If such a tech break through happens to soon, before the grid is updated, I would bet you would see a lot of angry new EV owners being told their neighborhood grid cannot handle ANOTHER charging station and they must wait or worse pay for a grid upgrade to handle the charging station.
