1. You need a very expensive charger in your house
I don't know of a single EV that doesn't come with a charger.
In the case of Tesla if you want to charge your car to a usable capacity in 8 hours instead of 40 or 50 you must provide a dedicated 240 volt 50 amp circuit which means hiring an electrician, material cost, in some municipalities getting a permit, and buy the $600.00 Tesla wall connector.

Previous homeowner had a ceramic kiln in the garage.
Mrs Füt’s (no pics) next vehicle will be an EV.
PS to the OP- Your contention #4 was that the US’s Energy policy was unresolved as to fuel (coal/nuclear/gas).
That has nothing to do with EVs. Red herring argument.
