Because the backend is not ready for higher capacity battery charging. Our infrastructure isn't capable of handling the increased requirements for more amps. I know of a building who's boilers are about f**ked, they're gas powered. They are not allowed to get replacement gas ones, but power circuits in the street don't carry enough power. As the requirements for EVs to have more range, more load (e.g SUVs and trucks) goes up, the infrastructure cannot cope. The whole thing is more complex that you might think.
