I tried filling up a Tesla at a gas station. And now I don't like electric cars anymore.

  You joke but the inability of BEVs to make use of the gas station infrastructure is probably their number one obstacle to mass adoption.

    You just rent some parking space for the charge pylons. Probably off to the side where the self-service wash hose/tire pump usually is.

      The energy bandwidth of a charger as opposed to a gas pump is a huge issue right now. Gas pumps can easily pump up to 10gpm [1], corresponding to 300 miles of charge in 3-5 minutes as opposed to Superchargers, which take 15 minutes to charge enough for 200 miles of driving[2]. When this is improved, it will make BEV's much more acceptable to many people.
