takes too long to re-charge vs. 5 minutes to fill a gas tank

Until you can get an EV to recharge the battery in 5 minutes or less, I fail to see how this is a "superior technology" over the internal combustion engine.

Exactly. What about when Texas had the massive power outages or post hurricanes, tornados, etc? You could go a week or more whothoit power.

You can store extra gas cans at home or gas stations can install/rent/etc a diesel or natural gas generator to keep the pumps running and along with coordinated fuel deliveries fuel hundreds or thousands of cars per day with each only taking 5-10 minutes.

With a shrinking power generation grid, you can’t charge anything during a brown or black out due to lack of electrical generation; so your 5 minute charge can last hours or days until the grid comes back.
