Came here to post exactly this. Misleading click baity headline; it doesn't take me much more than 2-3 minutes to fill up 55 litres of fuel to my 65 liter tank, for 700km+ range. (I'm not in the habit of running it dry!)
Can take 15 minutes+ in Oregon since we can't pump our own gas. But yeah, last road trip I got ~600 miles out of a full tank. This company has a loooong way to go if they want to compete with that.
Even in Oregon (or NJ where I'm originally from), it takes longer because of stuff outside of the actual pumping. So if for some reason you're not allowed to charge your own car, it'd just move from 15 minutes to 30 minutes.
Also in NJ it definitely doesn't take more than 5 extra minutes waiting for the attendant 95% of the time.
depending on the station, and how many attendants are working, you can be up around 30 minutes. I've seen some very efficient stations that do a lot of turnaround, and some very inefficient stations that have 10 lanes of 6-8 cars per lane waiting.
that said, even at a full tank, that's only 220 miles for me, so unless I'm leaving Oregon on a trip, a 15 minute charge sounds amazing.
the good news is that I've not seen a charging station that had an attendant.

This is a straight up lie right?
My car (2017 Honda Accord) has a 500+ mile range on a tank of gas. It'd take over an hour to charge to 500 miles.
Even at 15 minutes that's a lie. It takes no more than 2-3 minutes of actual pumping to fill my 500+ mile tank of gas.
