Reality check on electric cars

It took 4 minutes the last time I filled my truck's tank--I timed it--from empty (say, 90% empty) to 100%+ full. No battery charger is going to match that.
Actually you have to find a gas price you want to pay as you drive. Did you count the time to drive there? How about the time to pay?
You must know that charging is getting faster and faster. It has improved considerably. Charging an EV takes seconds. It charges while you are in the home paying zero attention.
My son just bought an EV Equinox to go along with his Bolt.

That was pull up to the pump, tap the card, fill the vehicle, squeegee the windows, and drive off. Charging an EV takes hours. As for your choices, fine by me, I don't care what you drive. What I don't want is YOU telling ME what I MUST drive. That's where the EV market is today. They are being forced on consumers by government.

Why?

Takes less than 5 seconds to pay at the pump

How many seconds?

I don't pay attention either.

My condolences to your son. Ask him how it works on a cross country trip.

So you suddenly appeared at a gas station. You had to be aware of needing gas and had to pick a station and drive there. That is part of your fueling time.
I don't give a shit what you drive. ICE pollutionmonbiles will be available your whole right-wing life. Damn, do you cry.

Yep, I left my driveway, saw I needed gas, started heading to where I was going, pulled into the QT on the corner of the next major cross street, and spent four minutes filling my vehicle. I then exited the station and continued on my way to my destination.

I park in my garage. Plug the charger in and use 10 seconds. No weather to worry about. No using gasoline stinky pump. No smell on hands. No stinking up gloves. Ans much, much less time required. You lose that argument too.
 
It shows that I spend almost no time filling my car while yours takes much much more. I directly addressed the point you were not making, although you tried. You are a righty. Logic and fact elude you.
No, you spend your time doing other things while your car fills. Not the same thing.


If you had, say 10% charge and suddenly needed to go somewhere far enough away to have to charge your car, how long would it take to get say, 75% charge?

If on the other hand, I had 10% of a tank of gas, how long would it take me to fill the vehicle and then get where I needed to go?

Your example is apples to crowbars.
