I will wait in line for cheap gas at Costco a hundred times before I have to stop and charge for 30 minutes on my annual road trip.

I have no idea what this has to do with towing or long road trips, but my personal experience is it's usually pull up to gas station, pull up to pump, start pumping. I very rarely have waited in line anywhere. Even when I have, it's like 5 minutes maybe. Do you claim there aren't ever lines at charging stations, and there won't be lines in the future as more people want to use them?

I charge at home. I never need to go out of my way or really even think about fuel/charge level. Every day I wake up with a full tank. It’s always the same price (cheap), so there’s no need to shop around.

I know not everyone can charge at home, but at least half of America can, and it’s a convenience that is seldom mentioned in discussions of “range anxiety.”
