Not sure if that works completely. Refilling a gas tank takes 5 - 10 minutes; recharging batteries is quite a bit longer than that and folks on a trip might not be willing to wait. Also the turnover time at the "pump" is very different, even for a 30 minute charge so a lot more stations would be necessary than current pumps.

There's a LOT of research into quick-charge battery technology right now - we'll figure it out, sooner rather than later based on recent level of effort.

I've told my son and his wife that the kindest thing they could do for their children is not to have them. My advice was not what they wanted to hear and will be ignored.

I made that decision for myself a long time ago. It's nice not to have to worry about what the future holds for my non-existent progeny, but I'd be lying if I said I don't worry about my nieces, nephews and goddaughter.

You've already achieved ZPG.
