I don't that that is true, it is more that electric cars still have pretty serious downsides, especially in rural areas or if you do long distance driving.
What other downside is there besides range anxiety? I've had an EV for 18 months now, and I see nothing but upsides. Environmental concerns were my main purchasing reason, but now that I've experienced an EV, that is at the bottom of the list.
I get to charge at home, it is quiet, easy to drive, fun to drive, great in the snow, no fluids to deal with except wiper, doesn't smell of gas/oil, doesn't need to start up, has almost no maintenance costs, roomier, and cheaper to operate.
Range anxiety is annoying, doubly so because we can easily fix the problem. "Refueling" speed is not the best, but isn't that big of deal for longer trips.

Coal rolling may also be directed at foreign vehicles, bicyclists, protesters, and pedestrians
You believe the man who recently called climate change a "con job" is president because only 8 Americans hate electric cars and any form of environmentalism? Now that is funny.
