This is a ridiculous statement. In the US under 10% of new car sales are electric.
If one has the means and desire to purchase electric, it's a good choice, but it's certainly not a necessity. Electric vehicles, their technology, and the surrounding infrastructure are, by comparison, still it's it's infancy.
Yes, that's true, but it was also prior to entire suburban and metro infrastructure being built assuming you had a vehicle to transport you from A to B. You can't say "well cars worked in the 1920s prior to gas stations being on every corner so we deal with the sub-optimal infrastructure for electric!" because you can't live on sub-optimal infrastructure and live in the modern world. I need to know that my car is going to be able to take me where I need to go without worry and without question or hiccup because I can't accept anything less and be a functional adult in the US.
