On the last fillup of my old ICE, I noticed the pump seemed faster than usual, so I timed in my head - about one litre every 1.3 seconds, giving a full tank in 90 seconds.
Even living in an area with a full house with garage, it's really convenient to park on the front verge. Once other members of the house get cars, the verge and driveway will be essential, making it impossible to share a charger in our single garage. Running extension cords across the garden would be silly, as would paying $1000s to install fixed chargers down there.
Still, everyone got used to the daily charging of mobile phones, perhaps this is just an additional inconvenience we'll suffer for the greater advantages.
Related anecdote - our end-of-trip bike room at work has just finished installing chargers for all the e-bikes, so now most of the floor racks are marked "e-bike only". In the car world, we can look forward to finally finding a parking spot then having to reverse back out when we see it say "EV only".
