....dubbed 'charge rage' by US media.
PDJT needs to mention this in his next rally. It takes about 4 minutes to fill up my 18 gallon gas tank and get me another 500 miles down the road. How long does it take to charge the average Tesla?

You beat me to it. It only takes about 5 minutes to gas up, and get out of a gas station.

WHO COULDN’T SEE THIS COMING.?????
IF things are backed up at the gas station-—the wait is usually less than 6 minutes for the driver in front of you to finish & open up a space for you.

This problem can easily solved by closing down more power plants.
Joe Biden himself told me that.

If there were only some way of transporting and using a power source with higher energy density that could be replaced in a matter of minutes at almost any corner or stored for later use when traveling in areas where there are no refill locations.

Marshals have been brought in to police 'charge rage' between drivers of electric vehicles at motorway service stations. Time for a mighty rescue!

Every gas station would have to renovate and add more electric chargers and transform itself into something like Buc-ee’s so we can handle all the EVs and allow them the time and the space the need to recharge.

Both EV's and gas cars have their strengths and weaknesses and should be a free market decision.
With our EV I don't have to stop to fill up for local driving, something I did regularly with gas cars (and still do to some degree with our ICE pickup for the little driving I do in it). I plug in the EV when I get home, then unplug it when I leave (taking up none of my time).
Plus on trips my wife wants to stop every 200 or so miles and walk around for 10-15 minutes -- which is how long the EV takes to charge anyway on fast road-side chargers.
If we go on a trip with few fast charging options we take the ICE pickup. Likewise if I go on a trip without my wife or if the trip involves pickup chores.
But if the trip has plenty of fast charging options and my wife is with me, we take the EV. Bonus points if the trip is short enough that the first 250 miles of charge being practically free from charging at home makes taking the EV much cheaper to drive (having to pay to charge only after the first charge from home, unlike a cost savings I can get from the ICE pickup). If the trip has a round trip total of 1,500 miles I sometimes do the math on charging prices vs gas prices to see which car is cheaper to take for the trip. But if the trip is below 1,000 miles then taking the EV is always cheaper (because the first miles are practically free from charging at home).
So there are pros and cons with each. Since my wife and I need 2 cars anyway we find that having one of each type gives us options.

They removed the Chargers in my city because of lack of use. Now they have to drive to the next town over, which is about 10 miles, to charge their cars
