You just regurgitate what the media spews. It only takes about 13 minutes to charge a TESLA from say 5% battery life to 60% battery life, which gives you another 180 miles. And guess what, EVERY supercharger station was 50-60% full, I never had to wait. I don't own an EV but I was forced to drive one from Pennsylvania to Florida when my father in law passed. This is how I know the facts of charging, NOT second hand nonsense. As for cleaner energy, probably not when all things are considered and if you are constantly on the road, you are better served with a ICE.

Your personal experience is all well and good. That doesn't change the fact that exchanging 290.8M IC vehicles for 290.8M EV's is, at best, a fantasy, or, more properly, a delusion.
As for personal experience, I've driven I 5 in California during both Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks. The traffic jams at the Tesla Supercharger stations were almost as bad as the parking lots at Costco. Frustrated Tesla drivers were close to engaging in physical violence. I didn't stay around to count the minutes, but it had to take many Tesla drivers several hours to get a charge sufficient to get them back on the road.
When California experienced an electricity shortage, Governor Hairgel asked people to forgo charging their EV's, the same vehicles he is trying to force them to buy.
