Gasoline has about a 6 month self life and has to be refined from crude oil at specific facilities that polute the surrounding area.

The supply chain to support gasoline is completely insane compared to plugging you car in at home 90% of the time. Once the wiring is updated to support EVs it's basically done, no more logistics expense but gas is expensive always.
