At home, does it really matter all that much how fast it is? I would suspect that overnight is fast enough for most. Charging stations could have buffers.

- giantg2 6y agoMy point is why would people trade range for faster, more frequent charging. Most people don't need extra range. The time you need extra range or fast charging is on road trips. Even then, you generally want to stop for food, restrooms, etc and super charger stations can give you a pretty good charge in a fair amount of time.
- bluGill 6y agoMost people do not stop as often as their doctors would tell them to. For medical reasons you should stop often. (experts don't seem to agree on exactly what the right amount is, but for discussion lets call it 5 minutes out of every hour). Note that the stop is to move around, if you sit on a toilet for that time it doesn't count. Many people will stop only for fuel every 3 hours, and try to get everything they need to do (restroom, buy snacks, eat...) in the amount of time it takes the pump to fill the tank. This isn't a good idea, but it is what people in the real world do.
- giantg2 6y agoYeah. I remember a 12 hour trip that I made with a single stop for fuel in the middle. Definitely rough.
