Actually, EVs can make up a significant portion of the market.

The bulk of vehicles are owned by multi car homes and the vast majority of daily trips are well under 100miles. If your home has 2 vehicles, one EV that is used as first choice unless it's a longer trip, works very well with overnight charging in the garage. Replacing 50-60miles of range in a compact car, is doable with even a 15amp household outlet. This leaves the ICE available for longer trips. These EVs could easily represent 30-50% of the passenger vehicle market. So the main hurdle is financial, not technical.

Where they are limited is users who regularly travel longer distances and/or under heavy load conditions. They will struggle to charge overnight at slower rates and be forced to use fast charging stations which are still not that fast. These frequent long distance drivers are also likely to be more sensitive to losing a half hour to an hour doing a fast charge.

With a secondary group of those without a place to plug in at home/work, such that they would be dependent on fast chargers for most of their charging.
