That's not false math, it's simply differing baselines to measure against. Sure, some people underestimate their time stopping. Some also overestimate how long they think others stop. All the more reason to let people make their own choices for their own situations and preferences.I think we're in agreement here.
I used the term in the sense that math tells us 2+3=5. Period. It's false math to say 2+3=5 for some people, at some times.
While for some it really is true that they are too impatient or have legitimate needs for shorter and less frequent stops, many people who say BEV charging time or range will take too long aren't being realistic about how they actually drive. Many people underestimate the time they already spend in stops on long road trips.
The part that's missing for many that have never researched BEVs is the idea of how long it takes. That's where tools like ABRP come in handy. And compare it to something like Google for the same road trip, adding whatever extra time they might typically take for a meal or something else.
