A lot of EVs are currently advertising charge times of 30 minutes from 15% to 90%. Furthermore:

If theres a line for the charging station, everybody is gonna take 30 minutes, so you could realize you have a 2 hour wait.

If the battery is hot, it can take longer. If you just got off the highway, it could add another 15-30 minutes while the battery cools off.
