It takes me about 5-8 minutes at the gas station to top up, pay, and leave. If it took me 15 for an electric vehicle, i'd be happy. OTOH, 8 hours is perfectly fine for 99% of the times that I leave the house (daily commute, vs visiting the parents 380km away).

Actually, for that particular trip (380km), if i could get 200km range, i wouldn't mind waiting 30 mintues for my car to charge up. Sit down, have a coffee, then hit the road.
