All good questions.
Right now, we’re in kind of an early adopter phase.
But physics is a harsh master.

Oh, you mean science that is really "settled".

Don’t forget about Affirmative Action, needing to have your Facebook account active (i.e. not in trouble with their Fact checkers), vaccine card (unless illegal alien), and verified as not being an extremist (such as spreading theories about 2020 not approved by CNM) in order to even have the right to legally charge your vehicle or to be a passenger in any vehicle. Canceled people will be walking?

You can’t escape the laws of physics.

10 gallons of gasoline ~==> 334 kWhr = 334000Whrs

pumping 10 gallons of gasoline requires ~3 min == 0.05hr

Transferring 10 gallons of gasoline equivalent electric energy in the same time will require a power supply to deliver 334000/0.05=6,680,000 Watts or 6.68MW.

Only about 20% of gasoline energy is converted to motion, so we only need to deliver 6.68MW *0.2 = 1.336MW for 3 minutes. OTOH, conversion of battery energy to motion is only about 90% efficient, so we really have to deliver 1.336MW / 0.9 =1.484MW.

At 440V, the connector cable will be handling 1.484/440 = 3374 Amps.

That should be interesting.

Alternatively, we can regain control of our government, and transfer energy into our vehicles by pumping liquid fuels.
