Spending 5 minutes and putting a very abundant fuel, gasoline, into your car very easily sounds like a much more viable solution for the billions of common people on earth.

Hundreds of trillions of dollars have been spent on our current gasoline infrastructure. Untold trillions more would be spent to implement an electric grid to support the same amount of energy that gasoline does. If you hadn't noticed lately, the world is broke and has no money. The cost/performance ratio of implementing this is unfeasible.
I have no doubt a better battery will be made, but batteries will always be unfeasible for mass individual transportation consumption.

Oh really, I didn't realize the world had a finite amount of money? Please do explain this new world currency that must magically disappear after it's spent, since the world is running out of it.
And with your second highlighted statement, you again are putting limits on what technological advancements can be made.
For someone stating that 'correct people state facts', I sure don't see a lot of them in your arguments.
