Yes, and I suppose you are willing to lose an afternoon to go to a supermarket 30 km away to just recharge your car.
I have no doubt that in the cities it is true, but not everyone live in a city.

that’s a completly rural area here in Austria and still there are charger everywhere - and I have to go shopping at least once a week anyway and the time I spend in the shop is enough to get the charge I need, there is no time lost there. In fact I would lose more time if I had to go to the gas station …

In a rural area I am afraid that you would need the car more than the single time you go shopping every week.
