And what is the problem? With the right infrastructure in place, no one will need a car. We should really design our cities so no one needs a car there.

Filling a gas tank takes a few minutes. Charging an EV takes a few to tens of hours...

I can do a quick stop and fill my gas tank for two weeks of driving. I can charge the battery for 2 1/2 hours, and not even get a full round trip to the office and back.

You are one of those people that would lay in gel tube and be used as a battery as long as the government promised you free room and board.

A specific, rare charger, requiring specifically designed cars... (Only 14% of chargers are Rapid DC). Oh, at a whopping cost of $140,000 to install for the fastest.

There is definitely a geography dependent aspect to this.
