I would say it's not "clear" at all, you're putting the cart before the horse. The long range model S can drive from SF to LA on a single charge. Even taking into account a supercharge stop, it takes <10 minutes to charge enough to extend your range to make it to grandma's house. In practice, that's faster than a stop at a gas station. Obviously grandma will need charging at their house to do this^, but if you're driving 400+ miles you're usually going to stay the night which means you can plug into a normal outlet and charge over night. |

As for speed of filing up, that's insane. One undisputed benefit of ICE cars or PHEVs is that gasoline refill is (a) everywhere and (b) significantly faster per mile.
Going from an empty tank to a full tank often takes less than 5 minutes, counting time getting on/off the highway.
