It’s a use case that will affect a large amount of people.

Really no different then solving a drive down the coast to Orlando. When every car on the highway has to stop to recharge to do a long drive a 45 minute recharge will bottleneck the entire highway system.

The rapid recharge is the key use case to address EV adoption. I’ve owned 3 and I’m speaking from experience.

Extremely few people drive more than 50 miles to a sporting event. And for the people who are forced to do it because they live in the sticks, there are not enough of them to sway the ship's direction on this.

I've seen a gas station photo advertising $8/gal prices in the LA area. When that goes nationwide, the energy-intensive lifestyle of Americans will come to an end including driving 700 miles to a ball game and towing jet skis around.

From what I remember, anytime the price is consistently over $3 / gallon the Canadian oil sands become cost effective.
