> I'd imagine the times I'm rushing to work and have to stop for gas would get a lot worse with a long charge time.

Of course. That's where my other comment is relevant: " "very fast charging" should not be the default, it should be rare. ... the default is overnight at home or during the day at office or a mall, with the software giving you that "topped up as specified, every morning, that's better than what an a ICE vehicle can provide"

i.e. with an EV and commute, you can slow charge and also never "stop for gas", ever. The vehicle is just ready, every day.

If you "don't live in a place where you can have a car charger" at home or at work, then IMHO an EV is not ideal for you, yet. The infrastructure isn't ready for you, work on that first.
