I literally pump my gas looking at the time because i need to be somewhere, i've literally never leisurely gotten gas, i dont even know what that means. Like youre bored at home and decide to go get some gas??

There's a huge difference between charging in town while you're out for other things, and refueling while on a longer road trip.

If you're in town with an EV, you theoretically never need to charge because you all have a full battery when leaving your house.

If you're stopping after three hours on a longer trip, then you'll likely need to attend to your biological needs at the same time, including just walking around and stretching your legs.
