Just get rid of the charging stations. It's ridiculous that EV owners should expect to charge their cars anywhere but at home or at work.

I mean...I agree with you that EVs are relatively-poorly-suited compared to ICEs for long distance trips, and if I had both a gasoline-powered and electricity-powered vehicle, I'd use the gasoline-powered one for a long-distance trip... but not everyone is going to own both. It's hardly reasonable to say "well, people who own EVs just can't travel long distances".

Take a bus or a train. Public transit is of course the real solution. Transitioning from ICE personal vehicles to personal BEVs doesn't really solve much and arguably creates more problems.
