I can't tell if this comment is serious or not. I routinely drive 600km one way and stop one time for gas and a pee - which takes about 15 minutes total. The trip usually takes me a little over 6hrs. I cannot imagine an EV would come anywhere near this.

My EV has a 500km range. If I stop at a Supercharger when the battery is below half, it adds 100km in 6 minutes. I can pee while the car is charging so it's possible that I can do that pit stop faster than you can.

  500 km - that's cute. You certainly can't count on that range, so your actual usable range is well under 300 miles. Except for sports/performance cars, I set 400 miles as an absolute floor for range, and have had some that could do a bit over 500 miles (800 km)at 85 mph Texas-and-surrounding-states highway speeds, w/o extra tanks. Oh, and I never worry about turning off the air conditioning, either. FWIW, for years, I've often stopped at Collin Street Bakery in Waco on trips between Austin and Dallas/Fort Worth. It's the only supercharger between those cities, and the poor Tesla owners often have a very long wait just to plug in. I know all about it, as one of the Tesla owners was bending my ear it over a truly excellent Chicken salad sandwich on my lunch stop. I was in and out for lunch, made a gas stop a bit down the road, and back cruising the interstate long before he could even get plugged in. EVs are only valuable if your time is not.

    I've never seen a full supercharger station. I'm sure they exist, but I've never seen one.
