The time saved up over the year of not having to go to a gas station every other week and just plugging in at home will dwarf the extra charging time on the very rare road trips (where I'd have to stop and let the kids have some fresh air anyway)

OK, let's game this out.

Say I have to go round trip to LA every 6 months. Adding up the 2 charging stops that's an hour:20 or so of downtime charging.

With a gas car, 5 minutes at a gas station every 2 weeks works out to only one hour every 6 months.

So your assertion, confidently presented, does not carry water.
