I can fill up my F150 in 8 minutes and drive 777 miles (36 gallon tank). There is no way the EV industry will ever be able to match this safely.
EV charging stations on every corner? A mid-sized gas station prolly uses a 3phase 480volt 200amp service - 400amps if there is a convenience store attached. To provide the power for a Tesla type supercharging station is 3000amps at 13,800 volts. Even then if too many cars are charging the available power is cut to each vehicle, thus increasing the “time” factor.
The grid will never be able to expand fast enough. And there will be a high tension tower on every corner for the feed. Don't get me started on the issues with increasing underground feeder sizes.

I agree, this is the major limit on EVs and the one thing that might stop them from replacing gas powered cars.
There are two markets where charging time doesn’t matter much and EVs will do well:
*Fleet vehicles - for big operators like Amazon and the Post Office EVs being cheaper to fuel and maintain will drive their adoption
*Cool vehicles - If the goal of your car is to go fast and impress girls a Tesla Plaid is what you want today.
