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

- vdqtp3 3y agoThe 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.
