12 hours to recharge is still faster than "not at all" with an ICE. You don't need to charge EVs to 100%, just get enough to reliably get to the nearest fast charger on the way back.
The rule of thumb is: if you can run an electric kettle, you can charge an EV.
If there really are people who are actually driving to places with no electricity that are over 200km from a charger, then they can stick to ICEs for a while.
There are a lot of people in rural America with long distance, high towing capacity needs that won't be able to use EVs (or afford a new vehicle at all) for a long time.
It doesn't work like that. 1000lbs is not a very large payload and you will not get 290 miles of range from 15 minutes at a quick charger. Even a Tesla supercharger (level 3) only gives you 170 miles~ after 30 minutes, and that's on a smaller vehicle with a smaller battery.
