Imagine the cost of stations everywhere that would have tanker-trucks deliver fluid that you'd put in cars

This is not comparable.

The fuel is spent and sold. Gas stations usually only have a few days supply of inventory.

This is like holding engines in inventory to swap without notice on the spot. But in this case the engines cost $10k+.

The fee to swap is about $12...so you have to swap each battery about 800 times to break even. See how you're wrong yet?

Well yeah but the comparison here should be against a typical BEV. ICE cars are already being phased out regardless.
