Think about this. Right now it takes about 5 Minutes to fill your car plus another 5 to pay inside.
During the summer there are lineups for this.
When you go to electric that becomes 40-50 minutes. How long do you think you will need to wait to charge your car?
That's not a concern for you?
This is getting off topic for this thread. But I want to correct some of your assumptions here (which mostly seem to be based on decade old information). The biggest one is that past == future.
1)
800V architecture in newer electric cars substantially speeds up charging. 150 kW charging is normal now. That means 15-20 mins of charging for the average driver at an OnRoute stop, for the average trip.
There's vehicles that are capable of 350 kW charging too. That would mean 5-10 mins to get the charge they need to get to their destination.
2) Charging networks are building to accomodate higher rates. Most charging networks are building stalls capable of 150 kW or higher for their fast chargers. The higher the speeds, the more cars they can charge. They balance that against the number of chargers they install. And of course, governments are giving generous subsidies to expand charging networks quickly. There's not much risk of waiting for a charger, today, unless it's some kind of holiday weekend. And even that problem will be solved in due course.
3) EV drivers don't drive like gas car drivers. Charging is concurrent. You plug in while doing something else. In this case, while getting a snack and using the facilities. Charge speeds only have to be high enough to get you to your next stop. Given that a 15-20 min stop on a 150 kW charger will get most cars at least 150 km of range, and given that most EVs these days have > 400 km of range, this means going from Toronto to Montreal only needs 1-2 stops of 15-20 mins along the way today. Chances are you'd make those stops anyway. Especially if you have kids in the car.....
4) Technology is improving rapidly. The 2011 Nissan Leaf had 120 km of range. The 2021 Nissan Leaf has over 350 km of range. Range and charging speeds keep going up, while costs keep going down. By the end of the decade, the average EV (not high end Teslas) will have 500-600 km of range, 800V architectures for fast charging, and cost the same as a gas equivalent. The high end cars (like Teslas) will have 1000 km of range and be capable of charging at > 350 kW. They won't need to stop between Toronto and Quebec City, at all. That's where this tech is going. Heck,
there's already EVs with over 800 km of range.
Now. All of the above said, EVs don't solve all the other externalities associated with cars, beyond tailpipe emissions. They don't solve low density suburban sprawl. They don't solve obesity from sitting in your car for 2 hrs per day. And most relevant to this thread, they don't solve traffic. The GTA will have 8 million by the end of the decade. Ottawa-Gatineau will be at 1.5M. Montreal will be closer to 5M. And a lot of the growth in all these metros will happen along the corridors that facilitate travel between these metros. The 401, 416, 417 and the 20 are going to be congested going between these cities. This is why HFR will be needed. Electric or gas, sitting in your car for 6-7 hrs sucks.
