"This is such a euphemism to pretend that you’d like to wait two hours at a refueling station."

There is virtually no EV sold on the market today that takes two hours to charge to 80% at a HVDC charger.

"I get it; I like EVs for their around town purpose, but man it’s almost fantasy to sell it as “5-10 minutes every two hours”."

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 takes about 20 minutes to go from 10% SOC to 80% SOC in about 18 min with an 800v charger. That equates to about 3 hours of driving on the highway.

And you mostly aren’t charging to 80%, usually it’s closer to 40-60%.
