EV Charging Doesn't Need to Be as Fast as Gas, Ionna CEO Says

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
You call them excuses when you are simply unwilling to accept the reason.
No you don’t need it 99% of the time, but in that 1% when you need it, you really need it. 99% simply isn’t enough because that 1% is really important.
Time on a road trip is way more important than time in regular drives. I don’t mind being 30min late getting back home from work, that happens all the time from traffic, but 30min late on a roadtrip means you’re missing daylight, or an appointment, or that restaurant you really wanted to try is closed. These are not imaginary hypotheticals, all of these situations have regularly happened to me even with gas cars.
You say this like this is trivial burden. It is not. The mental load of constantly needing to plan stops around fueling is a significant difference from gas cars in experience and is a significant barrier to adoption. This is a real problem and must be overcome in the future if we are to reach higher EV adoption.
We are not talking about today, we are talking about increasing EV adoption, to say 90-100%. If 80% of households have a gas car, you're not getting there.
Again, we are not talking about today, we are talking about a future where EV adoption is 90-100%. How many gas stations will remain in that future?
This has gone in a full circle now, because this one was your first comment or something. I'm not arguing in circles. I've addressed everything you brought up and now you're just back to your first "argument".
Your worries are over a future that you are predicting from... feelings it seems like. Taking all the worst conjured possibilities and rolling them up, like "there won't be any gas stations" but somehow charging infrastructure and speed also hasn't improved? What is your mind just imagining the lone gas station in the dusty town, closed forever, with a tumbleweed because of shakes fists EVs?
Like I said earlier, I'm dealing in facts right now, I'm not arguing with emotions or a future that you've made up for yourself with no backing.
Freaking, man I don't even know. If planning ahead is a cognitive load on you, we don't have much else to talk about.
