Electric reuses existing infrastructure :)
There's nothing stopping anyone with an electrical outlet from selling electricity to electric car owners.

2019 Tesla Model S range is 373 miles. And it will get better.

You only have to fill to 100% quickly if you're driving twice (or more) the car's range in one sitting. If you need to go 400 miles and your car only goes 350 then you drive 300 miles, then charge 100 miles in 12 minutes (currently, again going to get much better soon) and get where you're going with plenty of buffer.

Let's also acknowledge that the cvast majority of Porsche owners have more than one car. If you use the electric car for 90% of your driving and the other car for the drives where the electric car isn't good enough then you get the benefits of both.

Most if not all of these concerns will be resolved by the time the electric (gasp!) Boxster is released.
