    I mean, divide that time and hours by the total time and hours you’ll be driving a vehicle. Its like what, maybe 1%? More realistically probably around 1/10th of a percent?

    Its a rounding error. I could never consider allowing such an inconsequential amount of time dictate my purchasing choice for something where the vast majority of the miles & hours are going to be commuting, groceries, and pick ups and drop offs. There are far higher priorities to suit the 99% of the needs over the less than 1%. At the difference in cost, I could rent a luxury SUV, electric or gas, for those few trips and still have saved a boat ton of money.

      When I’m stuck at a charger for an extra hour with a small child and some cats then yeah it’s a pretty big deal. I’d much rather have a car with 2.5 hours of driving range that charges in 10-15 minutes and make several shorter jaunts than a 4 hour battery that adds 25% more time to every long trip
