You mean the past is the future,
1828 first model electric car.
1837 first batteries powered locomotive
1887 first electric taxis hit the streets of New York
Turn of last century more electric cars where on road as cars with internal combustion engine.
Electric vehicle held land speed record until around 1900
1975 the U.S. Postal Service purchased 350 delivery jeeps from AM General
What will happen with the mountain of toxic waste once batteries are past usefulness
The "oil running out" scam is now running for centuries

For someone a lot of time to waste and no life queening for hours is not an issue and start charging.

what do you think about electric cars?

A proven failure.

Obviously nobody is making them anymore... Electric cars charge when they park, a commuter would typically do it at work and home, never ever wasting time elsewhere such as in a gas station.

Oil peaked in America in the 70ies, and is expected to peak globally in a few years. The oil doesn't stop overnight, it simply slows down extraction (not unlike bitcoin), and the reminder of it becomes more expensive and harder to pull out from the ground.

Calling it "scam" is the same as saying the Sun is a scam. Oil is not infinite, regardless of your mistaken opinion about electric vehicles.

In a few years, you won't find gas stations anymore. Lets see what will you do then. Better get yourself a bicycle... Oh, i have these negatives that need developed, could you take them to the "photo shop"? Oops, can't do that anymore can you? ¿How about renting a VHS tape? ¿What have you done to Blockbuster?

Current Tesla battery banks last at least a decade, they gave 10 year warranties on them since the first model S. Let me see the amount of (non-renewable) fuel you burn in a decade, and the harm the oil industry does to extract it in the same time span.

Li-ION (and derivatives) pack the highest density / energy ratio batteries ever had, 19th century technology had to be tethered typically using a hanging catenary like the trains still use.

You are of course welcome to close your eyes, and cover your ears, because electric vehicles are finally taking over. Still in doubt? Search this in Youtube: Tesla Smile.

Oh and it won't be your place, but mine, the last country on earth to see an electric vehicle. Its a sad effect of free gasoline. We even still use CRTs and analog TV here, Do you?
