You’re using a very unusual definition there. 3000 km is a long way and fueling up an ICE vehicle would take at least three full tanks, each one of which takes about ten minutes. Ignore sleeping, eating, and bathroom (I used to drive 1500 km in one day, three fuel stops, bathroom with that, no food - you won’t die if you don’t eat for a day). There’s no way you charged every 500 km and only paid a 15 minute penalty. Simply stopping and getting back on the highway costs about 5 minutes.

15 minutes more than it would have taken if we used a gas car. I was driving with the family. Regular stops would have been required no matter what car I had. Certainly 2 25 year olds driving in shifts with steel bladders could have made the trip quicker.
