Comment on GBatteries (YC W14) let you charge your car as quickly as visiting the pumpparent

No, it's usually more like 5 minutes

When I'm on road trips with my friends, I can never get them out of a rest stop faster than 25 minutes. When I'm on the road with my wife, 15 minutes is about the right time.

That's the time it takes to visit the convenience store. Relevant in some circumstances, but if you're not already in need of a break you only visit the pump and even five minutes is oddly slow. And the article and company site specifically say the time to fill the tank, not to visit a gas station. So they're blatantly lying.

For my personal situation, I can't fill the tank in under 25 minutes on road trips with my friends. So it works for me.

Are you sitting at the pump the whole time?

In the case of my friends, I'm sitting at the pump or standing in the store texting my friends. In the case of my wife, I'm waiting for her to get out of the restroom.
