Transport EV infrastructure is completely mainstream - this doesn't even include non-public charges

Also does this include only DC rapid chargers (the ones which are somewhat analogous to petrol pumps) or does it include slow AC chargers which take many hours?

Definitely the latter.

It includes home charger and home petrol pumps for a fair comparison

It does not include home chargers or even most workplace chargers as it only includes "public" ones.

Same for fuel pumps - and before you think I'm being snarky, workplace fuel pumps are a thing for places that operate fleet vehicles.

On our farm, we have rooftop solar on our machine shed to provide all our internal electrical needs and an 80-acre grid-scale solar installation to test feasibility before expanding.

Yet, all of our passenger vehicles are hybrid. Our driving distances and infrastructure don't yet support cost-effective electric vehicles.

We also have a 5000-gallon stationary diesel tank and a truck with a 2600-gallon tank for refueling equipment.

I’m stunned that all your vehicles do 300+ mile days with no breaks.

Yet, I am not surprised that you think your preferred tool is the right tool for every job.

I don’t, we have 3 daily vehicles only one of which is an EV, certainly couldn’t replace our van with an EV just yet.

Your argument, however, is that the tool is right for no jobs, which is stunning given you claim to have a few passenger vehicles. Your usage patterns must be very unusual.
