An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

It matters to people who drive more during the day than their range allows. They don't want to wait 20 minutes for the car to charge every time they venture 300km out and back /s

Why do people still pretend it takes longer than 20 minutes to get a 50% charge increase?

Wait, I'm confused (out of date??) I thought it took hours to charge. Has that changed?

Fast chargers can fully charge my car (range ~400mi) in about an hour
