    He’s saying most folks take something like 10 minutes taking their leasurely time. So that is the goal for ev charging

        There’s a huge difference between charging in town while you’re out for other things, and refueling while on a longer road trip.

        If you’re in town with an EV, you theoretically never need to charge because you all have a full battery when leaving your house.

        If you’re stopping after three hours on a longer trip, then you’ll likely need to attend to your biological needs at the same time, including just walking around and stretching your legs.

      I mean, he’d still be wrong in my experience, but aiming for 10-15 min EV charging sounds fine. Would being as fast as gas be preferred? OF COURSE. I don’t want to spend a moment at a gas station that I don’t need to. Hell, I’ll leave if the pump is too slow and get gas sooner at a better place.
