Yeah that’s a crazy out of touch thing to say. That is exactly what every person does at every gas station.

Definitely.

Its ignoring that people's use of their personal vehicle is actually for work purposes, commuting; and guess what? People don't like to commute and try to get it down as quickly as possible.

His situation does work for people on road trips, but ignores the daily lives and routine of everybody that works for money.

Another instance of CEOs having immense privilege and literally cannot fathom or understand how normal people operate. I mean, just go stand outside a 7/11 for 30 minutes and start counting how many people go inside vs getting their gas and go.

It’s been over ten years since I went inside the store at a gas station, there’s nothing in there I want to buy

Wait... you dont want a tiny chocolate bar for 7 dollars?

I have a cheap Mazda 6e with the small battery. It has on a bad day 390 km range if I run heater, in sport. For daily use I can hold over a week with that. But I have a home charger so battery is always full each morning. I only ever need to charge in a station on road trips. At least in Norway which is a mature EV market most have home charger. Only those with street parking (not that common in Norway outside perhaps three large cities) don't have home chargers.

Agree that people want to fuel fast tho'

I could stretch my legs for a few min, but that's only on long trips.

Also ignores the main issue, what happens when there's many cars and not enough chargers? It's not inconclusive to wait for one or two people behind you for gas, that can mean 90 min total stop for EV. Ignoring that the line will be longer if more people need to charge and range is lower.

I want an ev for my next car, but I'm scared of that

Depends...lots of places do not have card readers on the outside to promote shop sales.

So.. often you definitely will have to go inside and...wait.
