Hey mate I'm just here for some friendly discussion, I'm not here to argue until I'm blue in the face.

There is a difference between your above points and the original claim.

Fuel density doesn't matter, what matters is how far you can drive on a charge.

Charge time doesn't matter if you can swap a battery in 3 minutes instead of waiting to charge.

For your new point of rare earth materials, this isn't related to the original energy density or charge time points, but high density batteries that don't use rare earth metals already exist, the problem is cost. That will change over time.

Also you're ignoring that fossil fuels are also dug out of the ground.
