They say you can get an 80% charge in 20-30 minutes at a fast charger station.
Okay. But I'm just wondering, how many times have you ever gone to a gas station and filled your gas tank to just 3/4 full? Almost never, right? So why would I only want an 80% charge?
     Now if you notice they never say how long it takes to recharge to 100% at a charging station. It's because after 80% the cars are designed to slow down the recharging process to avoid over charging the battery. Now I can understand that because when you're gassing up and the pump nozzle clicks off, you go slow to get up to the next dollar, or to try to squeeze in an extra gallon. So it's the same thing.
     What they don't tell you is that the slow down to get the last 20% of the charge doubles the total recharging time. So 30 minutes for an 80% charge becomes an hour for a full charge. And I guess that just would not make for a very good selling point, which is why they say 80%.
     So until I can recharge a battery 100% in the time it takes to fill my gas tank, I'll keep using gas powered cars. And as you're sitting on line at the charging station, I'll wave to to you as I go by.

Yes GR, another inconvenient truth.  The refining of the materials for the batteries is toxic to the nth degree, recycling them is not any better, it requires more energy and creates more toxicity than producing them. The technology is a lose lose at this time, we are not fooled. FJB, his minions, and all the others pushing this poison into the enviornment.

When they start dumping the old, dead batteries in landfills and the oceans destroying the water supply, and the ground that we use for growing food, and killing the fish, the environmentalists in DC won't make a peep. Because it will prove they were wrong about EVs helping the climate and saving the planet. But the biggest reason they won't say anything is because it's NIMBY.

Thanks, gentelmen of the actual expectations jury!
