Depends on how big is the battery and how many volts/amps does the charger put out.

Anywhere from 30 minutes to four days.

Article says Level 3 public DC fast-charging stations can 80% refill in 18-40 minutes.

I really believe the lil woke greenie weenies think charging ones electric vehicle will be free of charge. Just simply pull up to a charging station and plug-r-n. After 45 minutes, bada bing, bada boom...get back out on the road.

If you charge the EV at home it takes virtually none of your personal time. You come home, plug it in, and ignore it like you would your gas car while you do the important things in life like eat, make love to your wife, and sleep. The only difference is that when you leave the next morning your EV is fully charged, but a gas car has no more in the thank than it did when you came home the evening before. Eventually the gas car would take some of your time to fill up at the gas station.

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.
