With an electric, you can eat/bathroom/sleep because it takes so long that those things become possible. Yes, you can't sleep in the three minutes it takes to fill the gas car.
I don't stay with the car during fillups on road trips though, I start the fill and run into the convenience store to stock up on snacks and by the time I'm back 2-3 minutes later the tank is full and I can be back on the road.

That's illegal in many jurisdictions, like Pennsylvania. It's dangerous everywhere. Those click off latches aren't infallible, gasoline filling needs to be supervised. You don't have to stand there -- wash your windows or check your oil.
