How often do you drive 300 miles?
Will you be going from 10% to 100% every single day and do you need that range every day? You don't operate an EV like your phone or laptop. You only charge for what you used for that day. I only consume 15-20% on my commute, I only charge to 60-65% SoC, and it takes about an 1 hour-1.5 hours while I am sleeping to recover that charge.
Infrastructure is an issue, but will get better in time.
If your lifestyle doesn't fit where EV's are right now, that is fine. But I keep on hearing these talking points and yet the people bringing it up never or very rarely hit usage that will make an EV impractical for them. It's like buying a Silverado 2500 HD Duramax because you might just need to tow a 8000 lb trailer once every 2-3 years.
