My point about the charge time is that the EU has an advantage with charging: they have readily available high(er) voltage at their fingertips. While I agree with your sentiment and as an EV driver would REALLY LOVE for this to happen - we're still quite a ways away from this reality. Let's say I want to drive down to LA from Denver. Google Maps tells me it's about 1000 miles. I've done the drive - all in, it's about 14-15 hours depending on conditions. If I get in my gas burner - and get about 340 miles per tank (it's a small tank. My van clears 400). So that means I'm stopping either 3 or 4 times. If I'm in aTesla (dreams), I'm stopping 4-5 times. And at a minimum - I'm staying at the station for 20-30 minutes. so we've just added 1.4-2.5 hours. I know, I know - it's not THAT much time added to an already long drive - but it is time. EVs are amazing in town. I hope batteries just get cheaper and better. I hope more car companies provide electric options. I really do love it. It just make SO MUCH SENSE for my life right now. But I can see how it makes ZERO sense for lots of other folks.When you think about it, after driving ~200 (very doable in a Tesla) miles you're gonna want to take a break for 20-30 minutes anyway. Rather than pumping gas, you plug in and stretch your legs etc. It's totally entering the realm of possibility now even for the most skeptical of opponents.
