I don’t think they’re the same at all. Electricity distribution is practically everywhere already. Even if you need fast charging, setting it up in comparison to setting up a petrol or especially a hydrogen station, is extremely easy and extremely cheap, relatively speaking.
One hydrogen station cost millions to install. People assume based on the appearance that they’d be like a petrol station, but it’s actually a fair bit more of an engineering challenge. Plus there’s shitloads of costly red tape surrounding them (because hydrogen go boom if you’re not careful).
