Unless I can charge the battery in the same or less time it takes me to fill a 20 to 25 gallon gas tank it’s a non starter....with me anyway.

You can charge an Ev while you are sleeping.
hook your charger port to a long cable and a kite during a thunder storm.
Like an Airplane you can refuel while on the move.
Stuck in the same place too. When they hit 600, preferably 1000 mile range with a 15 minute recharge at every gas station they will have my attention.
There are batteries that can do that now, they just haven't gotten to the technology readiness level where the cost is agreeable to the market and it's also acceptably safe for an untrained consumer to use them in a passenger car. There's also the whole infrastructure issue, but there was a petroleum station issue at one point in history too, and it really wasn't all that long ago.
Some model needs to come along with a battery module that can be swapped out by a AAA roadside rescue. Going for maybe 5% of total capacity. Make it industry standard so even swaps occur at almost no cost.
