Ignore stereotypes against Tesla and Elon Musk, buy a car to travel and go to far places, choose a gasoline-powered car because they are easier to refuel. If you have to find a place to recharge and wait for the battery to be fully charged, you will lose your precious time. Not to mention the experience of a gasoline-powered car can be better.

Well, everything changes, and maybe ten years from now, there would be more electricity charging stations than regular ones.

Maybe. We never know what the future will bring. But, right now, electric cars are are a wealthy-tree-hugger's-pipe-dream (pretty much as cars in general used to be in the beginning).
There are several technologies (REAL technologies, not scams) competing to take the place of fossil fueled cars, and each one has its pros and cons. In many cases, the technology itself is immature, not ready for mass production. That is, IMO, the case with electric cars, and solar powered cars, for example.
You don't think about it, but when you go to the gas station, you're getting an enormous amount of energy (safely) in seconds, and an ICE today is a sophisticated, very reliable machine. Instead of that, charging an electric car takes hours, and fast charging it is akin to playing Russian Roulette, and when you put an electric car on the street you KNOW you will have to spend thousands of dollars on a replacement battery, and, contrarily to gasoline or diesel powered cars, batteries come with NO WARRANTY, so you may end up having to replace it tomorrow.

Again, nobody in their right mind would argue that there are not better alternatives. But most of them are far from ready.
Electric cars have existed pretty much since cars have. Solar has existed for decades, but it's still far from ready. Right now, the two technologies that are suitable and more than ready (they've been in use since the beginning), are ethanol and biodiesel (and SVO by extension), and in this case I do agree there's a more-than-fair amount of misinformation being pushed on people, not because they may be "the end of fossil fuels" (we're far from that), but because it gives people the chance to produce their own fuel for pennies on the dollar, and it can be used in largely unmodified engines.
