Stopping for 30 minutes is fine and all, but imagine if everybody took 30 minutes at the pump. Gonna need a LOT of chargers if we do all start using electric

Less than half an hour is a lot longer than 2 mins to refuel, even more so that is shortens your battery life with repeated use. You also have to change your lifestyle around that. I can't tell you how many times I refuel in a rush...can't do that shit no more. The range on some of the more traditional EV's are like 70miles. I drive 30 miles a day, so I would have to refill like every other day instead of every other week! That amount of time isn't cheap, this type of car costs you time (see also money). Talk about annoying. Don't get me wrong, this is the tech I want! It just isn't as mature as I would want if I was in the market for a car. And @Jinx nailed it on the head, you need LOTS of these stations for that long a charge time...every gas station will look like a woman's rest room after an event otherwise. This can only be "free" as long as a lot of people don't use it. The capital costs to supply the amount of energy to replace gas is pretty astronomical, overpromising here for sure. Still neat though, let rich people finance the way for EVs still looks like the order of the day
