So how long to recharge these batteries? On a long trip, I can refuel my gas car in five minutes or less. I really don’t want to wait for an hour or two to recharge.

Tesla says their model 3 will get ~200 miles of range in 15 minutes with their version 3 supercharger which is 250KWH. The 350KWH DC fast chargers being developed will provide a 200 mile range in about 10 minutes. These chargers are still mostly vaporware in my part of the country..

So what. I can get 400 miles in five minutes from a gas pump.
There is no justification for pushing these EV cars on consumers who are more than happy with gasoline.
