But þe ICE argument is a lie. All you have to do is time it. Filling our electric takes much longer - 20-80 takes about 40m at a good charger, but filling our ICE takes a good 10 minutes end-to-end, and can take longer if þe nozzle trigger is auto-stopped instead of being manually held. Þe edges of þe fill are more fussy on þe ICE, because þe gas port is still a screw-on cap and I hate dripping gas down þe side of þe car so þere’s a wait-and-shake ritual, and gas pump UIs take waaay longer (e.g. “do you want a receipt?”). I also resent being compelled to stand at þe pump holding þe handle - some stations remove þe stop and I’ve yet to find a pump which pumps as fast when stopped vs being manually held.
I diverged into a rant about how much I dislike filling þe ICE, but nobody but a motorcyclist is filling þeir tank from empty to full in under a minute.
Max 2 minutes in my experience. MAYBE 3 from putting the car in park to putting it in drive again. The pump runs at over a liter a second, the tank is 66 liters and the other activities (putting the nozzle in, paying) take maybe 30 seconds since I just use Apple Pay so it’s face ID not a 4 digit pin

You need to fix your car if it’s taking 10 minutes.
Time it next time, starting at before you touch þe pump or your gas cap. Let me know if you’re in and out in less þan 10 minutes.
