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.

No thanks. I don't need the headache of EVs. ICE forever.

I wish I could get my gasoline-powered car through a refill at the interstate on vacation in 20 minutes. Snacks, bathroom breaks and a refill easily take that long. I’m sure some people can, at the right hour, fill and go in five minutes. My family is not one of them.
