> how quickly it can be transferred is not refuted by this irrelevant statistic

Of course it is refuted. No need to transfer is without a doubt faster than a transfer taking a few minutes.

> if the median trip distance is 200 miles half of trips are longer than an EV battery charge

The median LONG distance trip. The trip which only happens a few times per yer. That trip. There are about 2.6 billion long distance trips, and 411 billion daily trips. So this means that just over 0.5% of all trips in a year is a long-distance trip, and therefore significantly less than half of those again can be completed without a refill.

0.25% of 365 = 0.9125

So one, probably two, long distance trips in USA per year on average need a refill on the way, when adjusted for all trips in the nation.

In what world is that a lot?
