Charging my car doesn't require more than my A/C, or oven, or clothes dryer. Good thing my car charges overnight, when I'm not drying clothes or cooking, and my A/C does quite a bit less work.

> it makes more sense to have a system that allows for rapid refueling all the time

I don't need that. That is a very rare need for me, and it's so infrequent that I'm ok with it taking a little longer than a gas pump.

"Time is money friend!"

Emergency services, law enforcement, delivery services, long-range transport services, etc... all require rapid refueling. Each and every one.

Your single use case does not a society make.

And those are a tiny fraction of the cars on the road. Even then, there are police departments and delivery services using electric vehicles. I don't advocate 100% removal of ICE cars. A variety of solutions will likely be needed.
Time is money is great when you’ve waiting at the hydrogen refueling stating for the chillers to be ready again after the person in front of you just used them.
