Filling up gas takes ~5 min, recharging an EV takes 20-30, if you have a proper fast charger. So even if every gas station had a fast charger, it would still be inconvenient.

When I drive long distances, I usually only stop for gas. So if an EV required more frequent stops, it’s going to add a lot of time to the trip. My gas cars get about 400 miles per tank, so that’s what I expect from an EV for highway range.

Current EVs have too much range for a commuter (i.e. cost too much), and not enough range for road trips, so they’re not there yet for me. Give me something like a Bolt for <$20k with ~150 miles of range and I’ll probably buy it. I don’t need self-driving features, fast acceleration, or a fancy infotainment system, as long as it has a heater (not heated seats), A/C, and a way to play my audiobooks (headphone jack works), it’ll meet my needs. I got my current commuter (used Prius) for ~$10k w/ <60k miles, so that’s what it’s competing with.

We’ll get there eventually, and until then, I’ll be driving my hybrid.
