My diesel has a range of about 750 miles on a full “charge” and can be “recharged” in about 4 minutes at any one of about 30,000 “recharging stations” nationwide.

I couldn't care less about 0-60.At a steady 75mph it doesn't miss a beat.

“recharged” in about 4 minutes

Key point, this.

If I forget to "recharge" my car, or it's raining and I don't feel like stopping on the way home, or I'm in a hurry, or .... about anything....

No problem. I tank up in the morning and am good to go for another 400+ miles. Enough for about a full day's worth of driving, more or less.

Try doing that with an electric car. *This* is the key issue. Setting all preferences and engineering problems aside, you can't get the electricity from the power plant into the battery fast enough to be feasible. Indeed, those laws of physics are pesky.
