But þe ICE argument is a lie. All you have to do is time it. Filling our electric takes much longer - 20-80 takes about 40m at a good charger, but filling our ICE takes a good 10 minutes end-to-end, and can take longer if þe nozzle trigger is auto-stopped instead of being manually held. Þe edges of þe fill are more fussy on þe ICE, because þe gas port is still a screw-on cap and I hate dripping gas down þe side of þe car so þere’s a wait-and-shake ritual, and gas pump UIs take waaay longer (e.g. “do you want a receipt?"). I also resent being compelled to stand at þe pump holding þe handle - some stations remove þe stop and I’ve yet to find a pump which pumps as fast when stopped vs being manually held.
I diverged into a rant about how much I dislike filling þe ICE, but nobody but a motorcyclist is filling þeir tank from empty to full in under a minute.

You need to visit a special station to refuel an ICE. Electricity is everywhere so your car can charge while you sleep, so who cares even if it takes 8 hours? You don’t even have to take out your wallet.
Next time maybe ask the ICE driver if they don’t have electricity at home.
