> But also, gas vehicles don't do 5 minute fillups either, AAA says average is about 15 min.

What? It takes about 3 minutes to add 350 miles of range to my gas vehicle.

When people stop to refuel on a road trip they typically stop for ~15 minutes. According to AAA, who has no vested interest in making an argument on refueling times of gas vs electric, unlike commenters in discussions like this.

3 minutes on a gas pump? Slower than diesel.

In my little commuter car with a 40l tank the fastest I’ve ever filled up was 6 minutes.
