I agree that a bug-for-big clone of a gas car is easier to sell in that there’s no explaining to do. It’s not an ideal goal other than for easy selling though, because it’s a very different machine in some ways with different trade offs. Better in many regards, but worse in some others. Refueling time and range are two such. I think the trade offs weigh heavily to the advantage of EVs overall for real world use, but in an event where refueling time is of the essence (no pun intended) an EV will be severely disadvantaged vs a gas-fueled car. This doesn’t make EVs worse, other than for that one contrived set of rules, it’s just how it is.
