IOW they aren’t practical outside of local driving, which is why they suck. 20 minute stops do not equate to a full charge. I know this, because I have a PHEV. It takes 2 hours to go from 1% to fully charged at 220v (Level 2 charge) Most people want to get where they are going and not stopping frequently for fuel. Here is the Ford CEO going on Route 66 with Tesla Level 3 charge (80% charge in 36 minutes). I don’t know about you, but when I gas up my F150, it doesn’t take more than 10 minutes to get off the road, to the gas station, get a full tank, and get back on the road.
Congested chargers and long charge times were among the "challenges" CEO Jim Farley faced on his recent Route 66 journey.

I have no chargers at my office, and I’m not about to install any. Call me a scrooge. Electric vehicles are for locals at this juncture or people who like to waste their time. I thought you told Rillaman there was no issue with productivity? You know what the difference is between a 10 minute fill up and a 36 minute charge to 80% capacity is? Whatever the difference is, it’s extremely unproductive comparatively.
