The thing is, picture yourself 120 years ago arguing against the widespread adoption of petroleum. You'd say:
--Are we really going to build thousands and thousands of underground tanks, all across the country?
--How are we going to ship the fuel there? Where are we going to refine it? Aren't we going to need train cars and trucks and a huge amount of infrastructure to deliver it?
--Won't people object to having these things on every street corner?
--Won't people object to the inconvenience of having to make a separate stop for fuel? Or a whole separate trip?
Moving to EVs is going to require a sea change in the way that we think about using cars and building infrastructure, but it's only hard to imagine because we haven't done it yet. The actual work necessary to build that infrastructure out is time-consuming and expensive, but it's fairly straight-forward. All it requires is a commitment to do it.
