However I think you have brought the other elephant in the room, time taken to refill, plus the size of fuel station needed to fill up a similar amount of vehicles per day. A busy petrol stationary probably has enough vehicles going across it's forecourt in a day to fill a large multi story car park!
Just to pick up on that point. Currently anyone who does not have an electric car has to buy their fuel from one of the many fuel stations dotted about. They need a pump at least and so when you have millions of cars all going to the pump to fill up, having lots of fuel stations and lots of pumps as well as being able to fill those cars up as fast as possible is very helpful.
That being said and with the majority of people doing journeys of 10 miles or less in many cases. They leave their car parked outside their house for 12 hours a day over night and they park in a company car park for another 8 hours a day, there is ample opportunity for these electric cars to be charged and "filled with fuel" if you like without ever having to go to a fuel station.
Range anxiety works for the companies installing charging stations, But if used sensibly most users would never need to go to a fuel station again. Most two car families might only make a 100+ mile journey a couple of times a year and with a 200 - 250 mile range on a lot of the newer EVs, you could charge it once a week on your home charger and that's it.
I get there are a lot of people who may not have the ability to charge at home, they might have only on street parking, but then if they can park and charge at work, the supermarket or some other place like a shopping centre, they too may limit the number of trips they have to make to the pump.
I note now they are introducing into london strips built into the pavement that charging cables can be run along from a house and out to on road, street side parking. So there will be another host of people who don't need to go to the fuel station to charge.
Basically what I'm saying is you won't need as many petrol station charging points as you think, because a massive majority of people will charge at home.
What keeps coming across (not in your posts Bugsymike) but in some other peoples posts is the constant references to the "rich" having EVs and technology filtering down to the "rest of us". And I have to wonder if a lot anti EV sentiment, actually comes from resentment and jealously rather than any concern for the environment or practical limitations of EVs.
As StevenRB45 pointed out when you live in a part of a country you can drive from one side to the other in an hour, and you probably don't do that very often, its obscene to demand a car that can do 400+ miles. People need to shift their thinking away from how we use current ICE cars and understand that there will be some differences with EVs but these are very easy things to overcome with a change in habits, they're not problems.
My most recent trip which was long distance was 100 miles each way to pick up some wheels for my Punto, this is easily achievable in most EVs now. Fiat 500e would be on the edge of that but seeing as I stopped for lunch with my son for 30 - 40 minutes, in that time I could have charged up the extra few miles I needed to complete that journey, it doesn't need a full recharge on the go and the car could be plugged in again when I got home.
When I picked up the Punto I drove 240 miles down from Stockport, which again would have been outside the range of some cars, but with a single stop on the M6 to have a toilet break and get something to eat, an hours charging would add more than enough extra range to get me home. Other than those two trips recently I cannot think of any other recent trips that would have pushed the range beyond what most EVs can do.
