I didn't say anything about en-route charging time to make any particular trip. All I said was adding a full charge to my Taycan only adds 225 miles of range and would take 45 minutes to an hour.Right:

Point isn't that "it's only ever 15 minutes to add 200 miles ", but rather that suggesting that it would take "45 minutes to an hour" of en-route charging time make the aforementioned trip isn't accurate at all.
Like I said, I'm only getting 225 miles out of a full charge. In the example you posted above, they're claiming they added 200 miles of range but are at only 65% SOC. I would only have around 145 miles of range at 65% SOC. I would need to charge to 90% to get 200 miles of range which would take a lot longer. Your link above shows that to get to 90% SOC took 35 minutes, but they were getting ideal charging speeds. I go to 350 kw EA charging stations all the time and the most I've ever gotten is 200 kw/hr of charge rate and that lasted for all of 5 minutes before it dropped down to 160 and then lower after that.
Another thing is most people aren't rolling into the charging station at 0% battery either. Not to mention, most EA stations have only a couple 350kw pedestals and the rest are 150kw and inevitably there is some person who can't even charge at 200kw using the 350kw pedestal and then you have to either wait or use a 150kw.
The likelihood that a Taycan owner is going to pull up to an EA station and in 15 minutes add 200 miles or range is extremely low overall in my experience. That's not even discussing the fact that sometimes it takes 15 minutes to even get a charge started.
