To: Tell It Right
When my wife and I charged our EV on our first weekend trip in it (think of it as a test run for how easy it is to find a charger), we waited less time (19 minutes) than people were waiting at the next door gas station. The lines were long because the gas station was selling gas for the "low" price of $3.89/gallon.

You waited almost 20 minutes before you could even start charging? And how long did that take? LOL!!! You are BS'ing us FRiend...

Our charging started immediately with no wait, and it took 19 minutes to charge. While my wife was in the store anyway.

Some Walmarts and Sam's Club stores have charging stations that charge up to 350kW. Kia and Hyundai (really the same company) are making EV's that charge in 20 minutes with those fast chargers. And most of those chargers are by a restaurant or grocery store.

I'm not ready to take it on a week-long road trip. But a weekend getaway so far seems do-able and cheap. Especially with the first third or so of the 600+ miles of the round trip being free.
