The cost of the public fast chargers is very high (double or triple) the cost of gas.
All those negative factors are NOT true, but even if they were, then in another 2 years the playing field will completely change (improve) for EVs -- better batteries that are lighter, better and cheaper charging stations. Lower cost because they are easier to manufacture.
