You also have to factor time. The gas tank in a car takes a minute or two to fill. A sliver of the time it takes to charge an EV: From a couple of hours to overnight.
I used to travel a lot by car, 20-30K miles x year for work. As part of my road trip SOP, I would normally stop and top off my gas tank 30-50 miles before I hit any major city. That way, if there was a traffic jam, accident, construction, or other delay, I'd have close to full tank to get me through with AC in the summer, heat in the winter and no fear of running out of gas.
More often than not it proved unnecessary, but there were multiple occasions where the practice saved me from running out of fuel in the middle of a busy interstate spur or bypass. Topping off like that in an EV on a long trip would add hours and hours to an already long trip.
The thinking behind EVs is like every other thing popular with liberals:
You are living too nice a life and need to suffer, racists.

One has to wonder what efforts are being made to solve that problem. It would seem that if EVs were built in a way to have at least one of the batteries that was a standard size, then when one pulled into the ‘charging station’, there should be a ‘fresh battery’ there already charged and ready to go... out with the depleted one and in with another.

For the average driver no time. Charging is done while sleeping.
And no way can you fill a tank in a minute.
