100% correct. And that's why public charging is important including installing L2 in multidwelling units, work locations and even street side lamp post L2 charging.

But you're totally missing the point on comparing time efficiency in charging vs refueling ICE. Here's another way to think about this, imagine you could park your ICE car at work, at the mall, at the cinema, or at the doctors office and fill up your ICE while you went about your day while your car was parked and not being used.

For the minority that needs to drive several hundred miles daily and don't have access to an L2 EVSE at home or work, then a gas car is perfectly okay too. A gas car is also perfectly okay if you like the sound and smell of an ICE engine - I totally get it. We still have options.
