People tolerate other EVs in two ways:

1. You charge at home and typically drive relatively short distances, meaning you almost never have to interact with a commercial charger; or 2. If you need to rely on commercial chargers, you live in a part of the world where Tesla was never allowed to build a charging network monopoly (i.e anywhere outside the US), or in a part of the US where there's decent fast charging infrastructure

It sounds like your neighbour is unfortunate to require relatively frequent charging at commercial charging stations, in a part of the world where Tesla was allowed to build out a charging network monopoly.

He has home Level 2 (11kw) charging. But his EV is his primary road trip car.

It's not a "part of the world" it's Portland Metro area where millions live.

do you live in some communist country where businesses need to get approval ?

I live in some communist country where there are rules companies need to follow, one of those rules is "EVs must use the standard charging mechanism"
