> they are not counting the drive time to the actual gas station
More often than not, this is on the way home / on the way to work, no? I don't just start the car and drive it down to a station to get gas and then come home (barring strange circumstances).
So if we are looking at this objectively. Zero minutes is far better than 10-15 minutes.
I've been an EV owner since 2016. I am yet to experience "waiting to charge" while commuting 20 miles to work and running errands. I park in our garage, plug in, and wake up to a full charge.
That's with being a 2 EV household with only one Tesla wall connector that is set to 30A (can support up to 100A).
Whereas most EV owners just plug in when they get home and wake up to a full charge.
