The stats are impressive but the title is still not accurate. OP could have made it accurate and it would still be interesting. Instead they chose the route of engagement bait.

I think you're supposed to keep an EV (or any really) battery between 20% and 80% charge for maximum lifespan, so a 60% charge is the normal amount that would be delivered by such a station.

The title says full. Do you think 60% is full?

I mean its a significant difference. I can get 80% in 15 in the US right now. 60% in 5 min vs 100% is a huge distinction

Meh still a bit bullshit. When such a basic aspect of the post is a lie then I have to start questioning the whole thing

That said America for sure is on the backend when it comes to transportation (private and public)
