We could solve two problems at once: get rid of a camera bump and make the battery bigger at the same time by using the extra space of the camera bump to house a bigger battery.
Not sure why it hasn't happened yet or if it has I don't know if it.
I mean, we kinda do when it comes to EVs.
It takes 60 seconds to fill and fuel tank, it takes 60 minutes (if you're lucky) to fill an EV.
One is an insignificant amount of time, relatively speaking.
The person you're replying to isn't making the right comparison; do we care about waiting/wasting 1 minute vs 60+ minutes?
I sure as shit do.
Yes. I can't tell you why they thought it was important, but in my childhood I've heard multiple adults talk about "My car goes <x> miles before a fill-up". Never made sense to me, gas stations are everywhere and filling up is quick.
Gas stations are not everywhere, and can be few and far between on certain routes, and more to the point filling up being quick may be the normal conditions, but if you are old enough (or have lived in the right–or maybe wrong would be more accurate–places even without being that old), you have experience of times when filling up has not been quick, or even, on any given day for any given car, necessarily permitted.
