Not only that but for those five minute gas fill ups you can’t really leave the pump. Maybe a 20 minute fill up where you can do other things at the same time

Maybe a 20 minute fill up where you can do other things at the same time isn’t that much worse.
- shortstuffsushi 4y agoSeems highly contextual. If I can charge at the grocery store - great. If I forgot to plug in last night and can't quite make the trip into work, 15-30 min is going to be a problem.

Not having enough electricity to make it to work is akin to not having enough gasoline for most local trips.
- vel0city 4y ago> If I forgot to plug in last night and can't quite make the trip into work Assuming a 30 mile round-trip commute, I'd have to forget to plug it in 6 times before I would run into this issue my car with ~200mi of range. I've had more times where I needed to be sure to stop and get gas before I head to the office than I've had times where I had to wait for my EV to charge before I head in.

- vel0city 4y agoYou should try timing it sometime. It usually takes me about 2-3 minutes to pump the almost 18 gallons of capacity into my fuel tank. Pumps in the US aren't allowed to go faster than 10gal/minute, lots around me seem to go much slower than that max speed.
