The last 20% of charging indeed takes a long time. But you can get the first 50 miles worth of charge in SIX MINUTES.
Getting to 80% would take 45 minutes. So Going from 18 miles left to back to 230 miles in under an hour of supercharging, is not something the typical driver would even need to do every day.

Also, wouldn't 200 miles driven take the typical driver about 3 hours? I think you have to be cut out for being stuck in a car that long in the first place.
Any longer than than that and I'm on my jet.
