Poring gas into a car is an equivalent of supplying about 4 Mega Watts of electrical power. That’s an output of small power plant! Gas just contains incredible energy.
What takes a minute at gas station takes an hour at the high power charging station or all night at home garage. There is no way around that!
Even if we had charging stations everywhere, imagine busy people, running late, needing to take an hour break for recharging their vehicle.
After missing few appointments, everybody would say - forget it!
This is one reason electric vehicles will never be able to replace gas.

I have a BMWi3, with a range extender generator that burns gas. I have a 220 volt 20 amp circuit in the garage. I get a full charge in 12 hours. 2 gallons of gas gets me about 100 miles.

So for me, EV works fine. Every morning, my car is 100 percent charged, ready for 100 plus E miles. Plus the 100 gas miles. I typically only drive 40 or less. If I need to do 300 miles, I just make one stop for two gallons of gas for 6 bucks.

My other car is a ford explorer with a V8 that gets 18 MPG.
When I drive that thing, it kills me watching the gas pump ring up 50 bucks.

I do think EV is the future. Five years ago, I thought they were a stupid libtard joke. This car changed my mind. Its fast as hell, and I spend almost no time or money at gas stations.
