That's all nice theory, but from my experience as BEV owner:

* 350kW chargers are rare, cars able to take the charge even more. (I have Enyaq, charge is capped around 150kW, never saw it charging faster). The most common charger in the wild is around 50kW

* 100kW+ chargers are insanely expensive. It is cheaper to drive ICE than charge on those.

* Chargers are often broken

* You are assuming that there is nobody in front of you. Good luck getting your 8 minutes with 2 other cars waiting to charge as well.

* 8 minutes is still slower than getting a gas to an ICE

Uh... Where in the world are you seeing this? And what kind of mpg, miles / kWh, $/gallon, and $/kWh are we talking?

Ionity - 0,70EUR/kWh

Enel X - Charging points in Italy: 0,69€/kWh for AC charging points, 0,89€/kWh for DC charging points up to 150 kW and 0,99€/kWh for DC charging points over 150 kW (HPC)

• Charging points outside Italy: 0,70€/kWh for AC charging points, 0,95€/kWh for DC charging points up to 150kW and 0,99€/kWh for DC charging points above 150kW

Those are just two charging network known for high power chargers on European highways, which I can get top out of my head.

Oh... That is indeed very high. I thought I had it bad in California with 43 cents/kWh...

It’s not for everyone. If you can charge at home with average electric rates and you’re not regularly traveling more than 5 hours at a time then it’s probably a good option. If you travel more frequently, get a Tesla. If it’s still not for you, then it’s not for you. If you’re just angry and mad other people like them, I’ve got no recommendations.
