alt Hacker NewsWhy do EVangalists constantly think people don’t take road trips in cars, when the vast majority do?
Reducing 20 - 30 minute stops to 10 - 15 minutes is very worthwhile for road trips, and makes shorter range vehicles usable for those trips.

You're right, but many EVs today can't take full advantage of the faster chargers currently available. I have one of the faster charging vehicles available (EV6) and even at 350kW chargers, I've never seen faster than 200kW, and usually much lower than that.

I like the current 30-45minute charging stops. Gives me more time to piss and stretch than the typical stop for gas.
That is a marginal improvement to a use case that, for most people, happens once or twice a year tops.
