Meanwhile, ICE cars get about 400 miles in about 2 minutes.

I have a Ford Mustang GT. Holds about 14.5 Gallons, about 300 mile range.
It takes about 5 - 7 minutes to fill, depending on the speed of the pump.

A little more info on the “charging wars”

4C batteries are just arriving for electric vehicles.
They can charge at a rate of about 250 miles per 10 minutes, or 1500 miles per hour.

There are 5c batteries in development, which if they are brought to production would be a 250 mile charge in 5 minutes, which is strangely enough, about the time to gas up a 15 gallon tank with standard commercial gasoline pumps.

“ICE cars get about 400 miles in about 2 minutes.”

I was just doing the numbers for my Ford Expedition. About 16 mpg, so about six gallons, which takes about two minutes. Versus 18 to 34 minutes in that list.
