Can someone explain to me the actual time in minutes or hours, whatever. How long is a 'fast charge'. Assume you have a three quarters batter discharge on a trip. How long does it take to recharge that battery.
People keep saying fast charge and quick charge which no definition in time.
Not to argue 'gas vs electric', just comparing time to fill tank vs time to charge when you are on a trip that's more miles than a battery will take you and you need a charge somewhere, wherever that exists.
I would enjoy a reply to that myself.
Once we pulled into a fuel stop right behind a Tesla. She plugged in while my DW headed to restroom, and I walked the dog around the rig touching tires and hubs. Wife came out, I pulled over to pump, filled. Wife and dog had got back to pickup, so she moved it back to edge of PL while I restroom and got some snacks. I noticed the Teslas where eating. We ate chips and left. About 20 miles down the road that Tesla passed us. I have no idea what state of charge was when arrived or left. Maybe they just got enough to get somewhere cheaper?
I would think that for a few years, most EVs in CGs will be toads, or travelers stopping for charge and picnic. That would be a revenue stream for the owners.
