Let me ask you this: Do you have a cell phone? If so, can you talk on it for 12 hours straight? Is a cell phone useless just because you can't talk on it as long as you can on a land line?

Not everyone is in a situation of being able to recharge overnight.

Clearly if you do not have a garage wired for electricity an EV is not going to be one of your better choices. Quite a few people do have electricity however and many of them take long trips only rarely so for them an EV might be a good choice.

Furthermore, your idea of EV recharging assumes that everyone will accept being stranded if and when the battery runs out.

Gas cars will strand you if the fuel runs out, or if they have a serious mechanical/electrical problem. They are admittedly easier to get going again. EVs would require some planning to make sure you didn't get stranded and that is a drawback. Something like a Plug In Hybrid or the Volt might have more of a universal appeal. EVs will be a niche for sure, of course so are expensive sports cars that can only haul 2 people.....
As to the flying cars....
