We don't have long lines here in NJ except when people from other States (NY, PA) come to NJ for the cheaper gas and the attendant service. My point in mentioning NJ is to say there are differences State-to-State so you can't use general rules when trying to make a point. In some States it could make more sense to have an EV and in other States it may not. Also some States have more charging stations now than others. Over time things tend to even out. In some States electric is very expensive and in others not as much. Some States have different rates depending on the time of day. Right now EV's are not for everybody but we are getting closer. The way things are going someday you may not have a choice, IC cars could become a thing of the past. In that case old cars may actually become worth a lot more for those that want an IC car.
