Rumormill/Spying: Is This Ford S-Max Foretelling A Return Of Vans to US?

It's pointless to own an EV if you're paying public charging prices. There's no fuel savings and it still costs a fair amount more to purchase.   Of course! I'm all for EVs in the right situation and, to me, the only right situation is having a home charger. I would never consider an EV if I couldn't charge at home. Public rates are far too high.  I'm not trying to make some anti-EV post. This was more about David's absurd exaggeration of how long it takes to put gasoline in a vehicle. 

To me, the fill-up time argument is becoming rather pointless.  We are rapidly approaching the time where you're going to be able to charge while you're out and about doing other things, so even if you live in an apartment, you can charge in your daily routine. The major grocery stores in my area are getting charging stations. Walmart is putting in charging stations everywhere. The office complex where one of my clients is has two separate charging stations, 14 plugs total. There's a charging station at the YMCA I go to. There's two, a small one and a big Tesla one at the IKEA. Costco is rolling them out.  One of our gas chains, Sheetz, is partnered with Tesla and their larger locations have them.  I know that I can from my house in Pittsburgh to my relative's house in Manassas Virginia 200 miles away with several chargers on route. I'm probably going to be converting my dryer outlet to the correct plug here soon so I can get test vehicles from the manufacturers, so I'll just charge at home. Is that the case everywhere? Of course not. It will be the case in the areas of higher population though. Can you put gas in faster? Sure. Will it matter? Only once in a while on road trips if you're trying to Cannonball Run it.  Most of the time you'll plug in at home and go inside and sleep/eat/watch tv. If you live in an apartment, you'll fill up while you're getting groceries or at work or out with friend in the hip part of town.  I can be inside, have my hot pocket microwaved, and on my couch in a lot less time than 6 minutes and 31 seconds.

Let's see if the video works uploading it like this.. It's an entertaining video!  I started the timer just before I turned into the gas station parking lot and turned it off just before I pulled out of the parking lot. The timer also included me adding the fill-up to my app that I record all of my fill-ups and maintenance items.  6 minutes and 30 seconds is nowhere close to whatever absurd number David is always claiming it takes to fill up an ICE vehicle.  @G.
