One scenario where extended charge times is a huge weakness is in an evacuation setting when you have hundreds of thousands of people hitting the road at once to avoid a hurricane or some other disaster. I can imagine the queues at the chargers being ridiculous.


Holy hell, did you even read the post you just responded to? How often do you fucking evacuate? That is even more of an exception than the occasional ski trip.


How is this not a valid concern though? If electric cars are widely adopted, this problem will require a solution.
