That’s a fun niche use case but most people just drive to work and school and back every weekday. Having to stop for 20-40 minutes on the odd occasion that you need to drive 340 miles in a day is worth never having to stop for gas for your daily commute.

yeah 90% of the time range does not matter for me, 10% is slightly annoying… good enough for me

How much time does it take to plug and unplug the car every day, vs. the gas station fill time?

You don’t need to do it every day, and it takes 15 seconds.

It takes about 4 seconds if the plug isn't right beside the car.

It takes me at least 3 minutes one way to get to a gas station, then another few minutes to fill up.

Literally less time than unlocking your front door. I've timed four people doing both actions out of curiosity.

You are comparing EVs and ICEs like they are the same price.

They aren't, as a matter of fact you buy yourself a whole lot of ICE interior opulence with the price you'd pay for a spartan EV.
