Unless your job involves driving >100km DAILY, current EVs are perfectly fine at achieving that with just in home charging without any fancy installations.
This is what people often ignore, usually only new vehicles are compared. You can get 1600 km on a tank of diesel in a 2000 euro car and refuelling is quick anyway. Cheap used EVs have not gotten there yet.
A lot of people can start driving EVs when a used EV is cheap AND gets you proper range. I don’t mean comparable to diesel, but like 400 km of range in a vehicle at 5k EUR and I reckon nearly everyone driving used cars will start looking at used EVs.

I drive about 145km every day I go into work. The EVs I see $5000 or less can barely get me to work if even that.

If you can charge at work you might only have to go a little above that price range to just comfortably get to work. If not tho that’s rough

Yes, the higher range ones are quite expensive. Hopefully the second hand market will have a few reasonably priced in a few years.
