Still not as fast as filling up your gas tank. And it won't even be full.

Honestly, if your life is so busy that the 7-10 minutes extra time is a deal breaker, fair play to you.
For the vast majority of cases, people can just charge to full at home, or top up every few days, and these fast chargers work fine for that.

Electric cars aren't the answer. And good luck if you charge at home. California is already contemplating charging you more if you charge your car at home and overnight.

I mean I agree, because I don't think cars are the answer in general. But compared to gas cars? Leaps ahead.

Good luck with what? With paying an electricity bill?
If people could afford their gas bills, they can afford the electricity bill lol

You might not want to hear it but that answer was answered about 5 years ago and since then a LOT of people are focusing on building manufacturing resources.

A few minutes that are easily offset by the fact that i only need to visit a gas station to check tire pressure..

A few seconds to plug in and then go and do other stuff rather than a few minutes stood by the car filling it up before i can do the other things i need to?
And "full" is a pointless metric, all that matters is how much range you get.

You are seriously saying staying at the station is better than filling up and leaving? And the fuller you get, the father you go so...

I'm saying i stop to charge and do other things at the same time, like going to the toilet, having some food or whatever i want to do. I mean i don't even need to stop and refill specifically since it's all done whilst I'm doing other things, like sleeping at home or watching a film at the cinema.
Meanwhile you are still at the pump. I'm in and out having done what i need and off whilst you are still having a shit after spending that time at the pump.
Except as i said, I'm not stopping to refuel at all, i have no need to. The only time i would is on long road trips where you need to stop for things like toilet and food.
And if you need to go 20 miles it doesn't matter if you can go further. As long as 80% gives you the range you need, why does it matter that it's not "full"?
