No worries. It did confuse me though. On the other hand, hopefully you see that 5-10 minute recharging IS possible, but not recharge-to-full. The point being, as more people drive EV, refueling/recharging norms will change. When I refuel my ICE cars, I refuel from whatever level I’m at to full. I think a lot of people do that and as an extension, assume EV drivers will do the same.

Fact is, since most EV drivers can charge for a lot le$$ at home, instead of recharging to full, most will recharge to just beyond what they need to get back to home or some other location where they can recharge at significantly lower cost. So we will likely see mor 10-45 minute charge events at public chargers than we would see 2 hour charge events. And it should be noted that most EVs will include in the route instructions, how much charge they should get at the public charger and how long it will take to get that amount of charge.
