The problem is that what you actually do a roadtrip, (and you're not charging at home on a normal "commute" day) is sit on your ass and do absolutely nothing for 45 to 90 minutes at a gas station in the middle of fucking nowhere, hoping no hick "jeds" see you hanging out at the Tesla charger and approach you to tell you that "yuu got a perddy mouf".
You seem to have last looked at EVs in 2015. At 350kW, it takes about 7 minutes to charge.
7 MINUTES?! 7 minutes. To full. FROM EMPTY?!* 7. minutes.*
I don't believe you. The last video I saw about road tripping with an EV was last year- this one.
Unfortunately that's a Tesla ad. But I was wrong. Looks like at least some of the 350kW charging cars take about 18 minutes. Slower than getting gas, but not much worse than a pee and sandwich break every two hours or so.
