Enough range is subjective though. A nissan leaf has enough range for 90% of my driving, but it still doesn't have enough range for me to consider buying one. Its a matter of both. if you tried to sell me an EV that had a genuine 400mile range, but could only recharge at 10kW, it would be a non starter. Ditto if you tried to sell me one that had a 100mile range but recharged in 5 mins. There is both a minimum range and a maximum charging time that is tolerable.
Well, my wife drives around 130 miles to work once a week so I know what the lower bound range I will require before committing to a BEV. No point for me to exclude those already known work related trips (her drive is not going away) in my purchase decision just to save on shorter trips. It's not as if the Bolt, the 225 mile 2019 Leaf or the Tesla will not cover that driving distance.
As long as I can charge the car to 90% overnight, I really don't care how slow it charges, especially if it had 220 miles or more range because 95% of our leisure driving will be shorter than 130 miles. It's those 130 mile trips (and other long enough distance) that will heavily justify the BEV purchase.
I don't mind if I can't drive a BEV 300 miles round trip because for those times, I can just take our RAV4 Hybrid. Those times may be 3-4 times a year so a humongous battery pack to take me to 400 miles is not required. It's just going to be dead weight for 99% of our trips.
Equipping a vehicle with faster charging is probably a lot cheaper (just need some technology workaround) than installing a bigger battery pack (you can't demand significant discounts to market prices for these precious rare metals) and so it will just be a matter of one or two years before all BEVs will have "quick"er charging compared to those currently available in the market. Can't say that for Li-ion batteries because there was an article on insideevs I believe that talked about how Tesla is hoarding a lot of the raw materials for battery production.
Not sure how much 10 kW charging will put into a 400 mile BEV but if it can charge up to 220 miles in 12 hours, I'd rather have that if I don't have to pay for the battery pack premium. Of course, that's not going to happen because battery material costs the manufacturer a couple times more than building a technological solution to enable faster charging. You can R&D the fast charging part and it will cost you very little but you can't R&D the rare / precious metals you need (e.g. turn mud into lithium and copper to cobalt).
If we pretend battery sizes don't add to the cost, then you can see it's better to have a 1000 mile BEV charging at 10 kW than to have a 100 mile BEV charging at 100 kW because the former will encompass many more driving scenarios while with the latter, you have to pay charging stations along the way.
