My observation is that EV owners almost always charge at home. Charging an EV is the reason why one should buy an EV; one need never again go to a gas station where stupid people are doing stupid things at stupid times.

I feel like this paragraph really does most of the heavy lifting in the article.
More importantly, those who buy electric cars tend to own their homes, meaning they can install chargers and plug in their cars overnight, negating the need to use a public charger for day-to-day commutes. For women and people of color, who are less likely to own homes and are more likely to live in multifamily dwellings where charging stations are often not part of the parking infrastructure, charging their cars becomes an additional task.
