It is also way easier to install a charging station than a gas station.

Electricity is already available everywhere.

Installing wires is too difficult. Let's just continue doing it the easy way, pumping liquid dinosaurs out of the ground and transporting flammable liquid thousands of miles.

Gasoline has about a 6 month self life and has to be refined from crude oil at specific facilities that polute the surrounding area.

The supply chain to support gasoline is completely insane compared to plugging you car in at home 90% of the time. Once the wiring is updated to support EVs it's basically done, no more logistics expense but gas is expensive always.

Yeah that's the point. Saying it's too hard to upgrade wiring is madness.

My apologies I was meaning to share frustration because I agree with you not come off as an argument. I hope you don't feel as if I was saying you were wrong.

It's also madness because we did this before at least in the US with air conditioning going main stream on a grid designed to support lights only.

No it's okay. I was just clarifying that we were agreeing with each other
