    Nobody stops to fuel their vehicle taking gasoline, gets out, rushes as fast as possible, puts as much fuel in the car as possible, and gets back in the car and drives away

    This almost reads as satire. Like this has to be a joke, right? No way this guy can really be this stupid (or out of touch), right?

      He is a shareholder in Buc-ee’s and sheetz and whatever large gas station chain. He wants you to spend 1-2 hours there increasing their sales.

      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.
