This also comes into play with the current discussion of EVs. People will say, "you don't need that 500 miles of range." Or, "just plug the EV in at night - you don't have to wait at the charger."
That probably works well for average use cases, but not for the outliers.
The great thing about ICE vehicles is you generally don't have to worry about non-average use cases. To reach parity, EVs will need to be chargable in 5 minutes from empty to achieve 500 miles of range, at 5 degrees F, with 5 year old batteries. If you live in California, that may seem like an extreme use case, but it's pretty normal around here.
