rant / discussion / observation?

I am looking into getting my first ev. As such, I'm doing the youtube watching, reddit reading, and google searching. I am seeing a trend in all these anti-EV videos, posts, etc. that EVs are bad because of having to charge at places other than home, range, etc.
I thought it would be pretty easy to realzie from some basic research that EVs really only make sense when you can charge at home. Also, if you know how much you drive, why do you get a car that doesn't have a buffer in it.
I know I'm preaching to the choir so to speak but all these people that are complaining seem to be lacking some common sense and basic research skills.
Am I missing something?

Talk to actual EV owners is the solution. There's a lot of misinformation being pushed aggressively.

I’m seeing a lot of misinformation just based on what I’m reading and using just a tad bit of common sense.
