Oh, simple. If I want to take a 300 mile trip, and my EV can go 200+
miles on a charge, I will need to stop for an hour to charge. You and I
might be willing to do that, but most people will not. And some people
drive 600 or miles in a day. They absolutely will not tolerate 3 hours
of down time.
Further, you might not find a level 3 charger at the right point, so you
may need to charge when you still have 50-100 miles range left, meaning
even more down time.
Further, what do you do during that hour? If there happens to be a level
3 charger at a place you want to be and you will enjoy the down time, no
problem. If it happens to be at a convenience store with nothing of much
interest near by, how many bottles of water and chips can you buy while
passing the time?

Yes. Sorry, I should have been clearer.
You ended with the comment that we still need ICEs. I don't understand
why.

Are you asking me? I'm sorry but I don't understand why you are asking
the question. Personally, I don't think an ICE is better,
environmentally, than an EV.

Why would a polluting ICE be better than a ZEV?

Yep. 240, or maybe 300, miles range is sufficient for road trips. At
least for me. But charge time has to be quicker. At least 100kW?
That's still 40-50 minutes for an 80% charge. For now, I can rent an
ICE on those occasions. But then we still need ICEs.

% These were the same ice-bozos that said there is no need for more
than 50
miles, nor 100 mile, nor 200+ mile range ... but the public is only
thinking
what those same ice experts have told them: more range is better,
thus more
range sells. %

brakes on the
idea that the future of mainstream electric vehicles will be tied
to an
ever-expanding range. Some now say they believe the sweet spot for
battery
range might already have been reached
