Charging an EV vs. filling the gas tank on an ICE powered vehicle is something of a paradigm shift. People are often posting about the time required to charge a battery from nearly empty to 100%. While this may be important when taking a long distance road trip, it is irrelevant for everyday driving. The average American drives under 30 miles per day. Reasonably sized EVs and PHEVs will gain five miles of range per hour of charging on a 110 VAC charger. Six hours on said charger covers the daily needs of the average American.
The paradigm shift involves abandoning the thought of filling the tank and replacing that with being able to take on enough charge to safely get you to the next opportunity to charge. When doing the daily routine that's going to be every evening, assuming that you can charge at home. As has been stated earlier, if you cannot charge at home, an EV might not be right for you.
