This is also a very common Straw Man put forth by the Fossil Energy Industry Spin Doctors to put doubt into the minds of prospective buyers.
The fact is, most charging of electric cars by consumers happens overnight at home, or increasingly at the workplace.
Moreover, there are many more fast charging stations available today spaced along major freeways and highways than even just a few years ago — and thousands more built every year.
For example, with the current stock of EVs in the US, there are then actually 14 times more charging stations per EV than available gas pumps per all autos.
Finally, often drivers don’t really need a Full Charge to get where they are going, in which case, a 15-minute ‘Top-up’ will be sufficient. So, making a statement that indicates “45 minutes” or “an hour” for a fill-up is just more mis-information.
