It then becomes an issue of building one single new power plant, instead of replacing millions of gas stations.
Also, if someone has renewable energy available at home, like solar panels on the roof, the cars can just as easily be charged with that.
I appreciate the need for clear and critical logic, but there are pretty real and simple solutions already available for many, if not most, of these "obstacles."

Excellent points Infi. As the grid gradually gets cleaner, the 'fuel' for EVs automatically does so as well.
No reformulations needed, no annual reformulations for winter/summer blends and the infrastructure is in place right now. Yes, it will eventually need to be beefed up, but the structure exists.
