Average commute is 40 mile round trip so 10 hours of charging.

A top up fast(-ish) charge then becomes something you need to do about as often as visiting a gas station in an ICE.

EVs generally shouldn't be run to 0 or charged to 100%, so this works out well if you have a suitable parking spot.

But that one fast charge takes 40 minutes, not the 5 minutes at a gas station.

It's totally workable, you can uausaly find something to do during that time, but I maintain that we are still one or two charging tech generations behind parity with gasoline.
