I've done 4 3000 km trips (there and back twice) in an EV. Each trip was about 15 minutes longer because we had an EV rather than a gas vehicle. We charged while we were sleeping, eating, buying snacks and bathrooming. Granted we were a family so those took longer than a couple of 25 year old guys would spend doing them. The car spent far more time waiting for us than we spent waiting for it.

Other than those trips, almost all of the charging has been done at home which means in the last four years we've saved about 20 minutes a month in gas station visits.
