> BEVs require you to add a plug to your garage to get a rapid refuel

You hardly ever need a rapid refuel in your garage though. That's where your car spends most of its hours.

And most of the world has 220/240v mains supply: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country. Regular wall outlets can charge a car fast enough outside North America.

Even in the US a regular wall outlet is enough - most people don’t commute far enough every day to need more than L1 charging overnight to keep up.
