Yes, waiting on your gas car to be filled up is only 5 to 10 minutes. But it's 5 to 10 minutes every single time you fill up, even if you use it just for daily commutes and have to fill up only once per twice per week. But that's every week, 52 weeks per year.
Your concern is valid if you have only 1 car, it's an EV, and you're retired and traveling a lot. But if you're young and work too much to travel a lot, driving out of state only once or twice per year, then we're talking about a 40-minute wait to fill up to get 200 miles (using newer EV's that DC fast charge up to 80%) only a few times a year --- a small price to pay to keep from having to stop every week for 10 minutes of your time to wait on a gas car to fill up.
Don't get me wrong. I hate the Dims pushing everyone to go EV like forcing square pegs into round holes not meant for EV's. I just want my fellow Freepers to be armed with accurate facts.
If you get home empty you’re kinda screwed.
If I get home empty I’ve got ten gallons compactly stored and ready to use.
You’re screwed if you have to get 200 miles away quickly.
“Eventually the gas car would take some of your time to fill up at the gas station.”
The horror.
what if you park on the street?
also factor in the increased cost of electricity as they push for more wind and solar
the more EVs sold the more they think their global warming hoax is working
if the green new deal wins we lose
OK, what’s the real skinny on EV batteries catching fire? I really don’t want a rolling bomb in my carport if President Doofus’ policies ultimately compel me to look into getting one of these.
