Most EV owners hardly use superchargers. They are really only for 250 to 300 mile plus road trips

Except for when I say they aren't practical for most vehicle owners. Other than that I guess you're pretty spot on.

Still not sure why someone wants to push something so hard to people who are smart enough to make their own decisions. Self validation I guess. Nobody likes a pushy salesman. They end up defeating whatever they're trying to accomplish.

May have been covered already but in Zeihan's last book he had the carbon emissions to create a EV vs combustion so that the an EV had to drive 55,000 miles before it had any savings over a computation car burning gas the first 55k.
Junk metric but it's what the logistics and statistics denying crowd goes with and it shows that EV is nothing but a gimmick by their own metrics.
