The gas station issues is contrived. When driving an electric car around one of the things you notice is that power sockets are WAY more common that gas stations.
The part I don't understand is how these vehicles are supposed to be run by people who don't have a garage. The usual idea is that you can recharge your commuting vehicle overnight in the garage - but what happens for the many people who park on the street?
