Chargers at grocery stores and other places of public accommodation that have lots of parking and customers who stay a while are good options. I don't know how many are enough; even fast chargers take orders of magnitude longer to use than a gas pump.

If your grocery shopping takes longer than 20 minutes, fast charging will suffice. This is my experience with 250kw fast chargers.

  At least in the midwest very few grocery stores have fast charging. Usually the fast chargers are along highways on the outskirts of cities, and even then they’re almost always at gas stations.

I don't think 2x slower is plural "orders of magnitude" no matter how you count it. It's at best a single power of two.

  Filling the gas tank of of a sedan takes like 2 minutes, doing the equivalent charging is going to take a lot more than 4 minutes. "Orders" may be an exaggeration but one order of magnitude isn't.

    Filling a sedan takes longer than 2 minutes; you just don't notice the time.
