I fully get your point. However, you can’t recharge gasoline.

You can "recharge" your gas tank in a couple of minutes at a filling station, versus recharging your battery in however long it takes, from electricity that was mostly generated by fossil fuel.

I’m with you. Ever since I learned, about 25 years ago, how much energy is in a “pound of battery” vs a “pound of gasoline” I stopped being an advocate of electric power, unless the power comes from solar cells, etc.

The ONLY thing special about modern electric cars and hybrids is the ability to reclaim energy when slowing down. Period.
