Tesla has consistently exaggerated the driving range of its electric vehicles, reportedly leading car owners to think something was broken when actual driving range was much lower than advertised. When these owners scheduled service appointments to fix the problem, Tesla canceled the appointments because there was no way to improve the actual distance Tesla cars could drive between charges, according to an investigation by Reuters.
Here’s the duration of my last 5 fast charging stops, pulled from an app that logs everything my car does:
8 minutes 12 minutes 13 minutes 5 minutes 14 minutes
“realistically” i’m having sub-15 minute charge sessions almost every time. Not to mention this goes back a couple months, since I charge at home every night.
If you drive 600km without stopping to piss, maybe a gas car is for you, but I’m not that miserable.

Not sure if you are making stuff up for the sake of it. But how you describe EV is nothing like the real world. Believe it how you want, but I will keep repeating (as an actual experience) that EV is a non-issue in this day and age.
On longer trips (1.000km and more) it will take approx 10% more time. Which is a no brainer.

Yeah ok, but now you are moving the goalposts on the fly. As long ad we are not making stuff up on invalid assumptions that’s fine. I’m not saying everybody needs to buy an EV. Just if people are using the argument that it is not user friendly to not get one, that’s false.
I can’t afford a ferrari either, doesn’t mean it’s a bad car.
Ps. As mentioned 6 times or so already, i am talking about the EU (said so from the start)
It’s also five different trips? Where I stopped for less than 15 minutes each trip?
I don’t know how to get you to understand that basically no one is spending hours at charging stations. I live in the midwestern US (a notably poor part of the country for EV infrastructure) and my only vehicle is an EV.
