With level 3 charging most vehicles don’t take multiple hours to charge an almost dead battery to almost full.
You don’t fill your gasoline car through a straw, why would you choose to charge your electric car with a level 1 or 2 while on a trip (for overnight charges at home the straw actually makes sense)
For example, a mach-e on that 400 mile trip, charging at 150kw you’d need ~1hr total charge time to finish the trip with the same battery capacity as you start with. But considering you likely start with full battery, and if you finish with completely dead battery, charge time required could be as little as 23 minutes.
I could start with an empty tank, fill it in 5 minutes or less, drive to empty, fill it again in 5 minutes or less, and still spend less than half the time refueling as an EV. And I can much more accurately predict the range of said vehicle because ambient temperature especially cold doesn’t significantly effect range.
But by the almighty power of not listening, that can’t matter. So manufacturers can continue to not listen to customers, customers will continue to not buy their products, and dick all gets accomplished.
