Oh absolutely. I was trying to say the charging time is the impressive bit.

My Volkswagen ID.3 charges at 100kW max (maaybe a bit faster since update 3.2 but I haven't tried) but that quickly goes down to 60/70kW. I would love for it to go from sub 10% to 80% in 15 minutes. Usually I have to wait 30-40 minutes for that (rough estimate). For me that's a little bit too long for a quick pee if you're traveling say 1000km/day.

Fast charging is what enables longer trips, not necessarily just having a bigger batter. Here in Western Europe there aren't really any dark spots where you absolutely cannot go by BEV with just an "okay range" anymore, so range is far less important. And for 95% of my use having it be 80% (250-350km) when I leave for daily activities is absolutely fine.
