Exactly.That's why one of the selling points of BEVs (for people that can charge at home) is that "You don't have to go to the gas stations anymore!". That's a nice extra perk. And that's talking about a 2-minute gas refuel. If it's considered a negative to have to go do a 2-minute refuel, it's certainly a way bigger negative to have to do 30-minute ones.
I have to fill up at least twice a week now. When I do, it is not just the "fill up" part. While I do it on the way home, it averages taking me about 10 minutes longer to get home after work. So . . . 20 minutes a week times the 48 weeks I have to do it . . . that's 16 hours I get back - and that for now I don't have to sanitize my hands after touching the pump, and worry if anyone skimmed my credit card. I can just go home and plug in. I will gladly spend some of that 16 hours to have lunch on a road trip and relax before getting on the road again. Of course I will also have to find a place to juice up once I am where I am going too.
