That means you roughly need a 220lbs charge cable if it's 10ft long.
That is not something a person can handle anymore.

There is of course an alternative, called hydrogen.
What would it take to get 300 miles of charge in 10 minutes? I think most people would be fine with this combination of range vs recharge time.

In reality you will likely plug in most evenings when you get home. So you will never need to fully recharge unless on a road trip. Then stopping for 10 minutes every 4hrs isn't a big deal. (This is just typical scenario, obviously there are exceptions)
