> Yeah but you're at a gas station for that stop (and you had to drive there).

Uhhhh, you mean an extremely brief stop along a common route I was already traversing anyway?

I really don't understand your approach here, are you speaking from the perspective of some region where gas-stations are rare remote outposts that require a dedicated trip?

I'm not arguing that gas stations are horribly inconvenient or anything like that. I'm just pointing out that with EVs you don't have to do anything at all.

We're quibbling over very small amounts of inconvenience with either option.

That is just not true. Planning a handful of longer trips a year require much more planning than dropping by a gas station for 5 minutes every few weeks.
