It’s about serviceability. Say you replace every single fuel station with ev chargers, you are still going to have chaos given it takes 2mins ish to fill up a tank vs 20. Also, people are going to be pedants about their chargers, extremely fast chargers are just going to chew the batteries. A car with a shelf life of 8 years? Where the second hand market blows? That equates to far more problematic mining of lithium, which is definitely not good for the environment, plus producing a tonne of car waste. Then there is the reality that every single city in the world is packed to gills already, what you going to do? Bulldoze parkland for ev stations?
