How to make electric cars practical?
Switching to an EV feels like forcing the world to learn a new language. It’s not impossible, but it is a potentially uncomfortable and slow process. How do we make electric cars practical?

That’s a great analogy actually, change can often feel slow-moving and unnatural. In order to make electric cars practical, there would need to be more infrastructure to sustain them. Our lives are built around traditional cars, so learning a different way will take time. Currently, there are many regions in which EVs are impractical.
In poorer nations and regions where the price of electricity is high, there is not much benefit to electric cars. With preexisting petrol stations and infrastructure as well as the higher possibility of secondhand vehicles, investing in new infrastructure may not make sense.
We cannot blatantly ignore the fact that not every country uses cars as often as Western countries do. Walking, cycling, motorcycling, and public transit are fairly common forms of transportation as well.
As technology progresses and improves so does battery capacity and driving range. This is important for regions where recharge stations are few and far between.
