EV Charging Doesn't Need to Be as Fast as Gas, Ionna CEO Says

iow - charging stations can extract more revenue from drivers the longer the charge takes.

Sounds like Cutler, an engineer, has some MBA brainrot.

Gas stations can also raise the price of gas. You are realizing that both are the same. The differentiator is the possibility of charging at home without ever going to a dedicated station.

I think their point is that for a business a captive audience is a good thing. Kind of like how some grocery stores have noticed that when checkout takes longer, people are more likely to buy the drinks and snacks they put for sale near the checkout line. Likewise a charging station could have an overpriced restraunt selling low quality burgers for twice the price of the restraunts 2 minutes away by car, and customers will eat there because, they don’t want to sit around for 30 minutes, and then drive down the road and stop for another 10.

Unless I’m missing something and fast chargers charge by the watt instead of the hour, in which case that’s pretty big BS.
