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.
