The infrastructure will come in time. To think there should be a charging station on every corner at this juncture is foolish.
"The infrastructure will come in time" . . . Exactly. And until you can tell us precisely when that will happen, the go-to solution, as I see it, is a hybrid. Best of both worlds without the anxiety.
Can you tell us precisely when the infrastructure for gasoline became adequate? I sincerely doubt it.
However there is a prediction available:
"By late 2024, Tesla would open 3,500 new and existing Superchargers along highway corridors to non-Tesla customers, the Biden administration said. It would also offer 4,000 slower chargers at locations like hotels and restaurants."
Supercharger stations average about 10 chargers each. So about 350 next stations by the end of next year. Personally, I expect that Tesla will surpass that. They had better since vast majority of new EVs will be using the Tesla plug by 2015. Will that be adequate? For many people, yes. Could be improved in following years? Absolutely. Will it be adequate for you? That depends on your definition of adequate and where you drive.
"Can you tell us precisely when the infrastructure for gasoline became adequate? I sincerely doubt it."
Is this a history test or a discussion on EV's and our inadequate infrastructure?
