Plug in at home takes way less of your personal time than a gas station and costs significantly less than public charging.

I agree, but it still takes longer and there's never a need to gas up on your commute if you just watch your tank.
You’re trying to apply an arbitrary metric to two radically different process. Suppose you could pay an extra 1,000$ so it fils in 40 seconds vs 4 hours at home (and only at home).
Personally it wouldn’t be worth the money to me because the only thing that matters is the time to plug it in and the time to unplug it.
I really was just arguing some of those EV points were weak, but I'm all in favor of EVs.
