Charging time is on the same scale as ICE-refueling time, here in New
Zealand. About 15 to 30 minutes, for top-off on a Leaf. They (Charge
Net) are rolling out a network of fast DC chargers in NZ.
Many are at "petrol servos" (gasoline service stations). Some are
located as shopping centers/malls.

Just enough time to eat a "meat pie" and enjoy a "flat white" at the
"servo". :-)
Meat pies are ubiquitous in NZ have no equivalent in the US. They are
something akin to a pasty, but you can hold it in your hand while you
are eating it. A large selection of filling is commonly available,
including vegetarian, seafood, chopped steak and onion, etc. A flat
white is somewhat similar to a caffè latte. More foamed milk.

This all sounds totally illogical. Is it assumed that EV drivers do

the gas stations would have to do is add a charging station or two and

sprees than they do the ICE folks since charging is slower.
Yes Bruce, stoopid!
P.S. Before there were ANY public charging facilities I often stopped
at a convenience store and asked if I could plug in to their outdoor
lighting or behind the soda machine. They were agreeable, once they
figured out what I was asking, as long as I shopped while there.
