There is really a big divide. For those who can charge at home, there really won't be many people who would have major issues going EV unless you are doing hundreds of miles a day. For those that can't charge at home- I really wouldn't recommend it. 99% of our charging is done at home and while my experience of the public network is very good, it would be too much hassle to continually have to take it places and wait while it charge. And that is the problem.

Battery swap would be great but I suspect the advancement will come through longer and longer ranges allied to faster and faster charging times
So basically it’s bringing back a “class divide”, in the population ?

Those with houses with drives and those without
