Gassing up an ICE car: 5 minutes. Ten if you use the bathroom.

Charging an EV at home "over night" = 8-12 hours.

Charging an EV at a 120kW "supercharger" station: 1/2 hour.

Charging an EV at a typical 50kW charging station: 1 hour.

[But these will greatly shorten the life of your EV's batteries, "totaling" the car when they need to be replaced. So, buy a new EV!]

[Physics is a bitch, ain't it?]

{Not to mention: What happens when 100s or 1,000s of EVs run out of juice between cities during a hurricane or other evacuation????}

An EV pollutes FAR more than ANY ICE vehicle on the road.
