Can't tell if you're trolling or this is a serious post. You do know that in the 70s and early 80s, lines for gas stations were substantially longer than this and were the norm? Yes, believe it or not, there were much longer lines to fill up your gasoline powered cars and no, you couldn't just fill them up at home like you can an EV.
I get that this stuff literally keeps you up at night, but you're going to have to let it go. There's literally nothing that you can do to change the fact that electric vehicles are here to stay. They just are. There's trillions of dollars invested in both cars and infrastructure. But here's the thing, you're going to be okay. Go outside, enjoy your life, stop posting weird rhetoric on this thread. Nobody is going to harm you.
Just breathe. If people you don't know are enjoying their lives because they drive an EV, that's absolutely great! Posting nonsense isn't going to change that. Just breathe, you're going to be okay!

Lol. Gas lines were a temporary artifact of the political 1973 oil embargo and lasted about 3 months. Wating at EV chargers is an artifact of the technology.

They also ran out of gas in Malung, Sweden on January 5. I think this is compelling evidence for the world to switch back to using horses instead of ICE or EVs.

I spent my whole life skiing and snowboarding. One important thing I have learned is never go to any ski resorts on holiday. Everywhere just packed with people, kids and cars. Stay home and enjoy life. No need to switch back to horses
