It does appear that costs are going up faster than inflation, so likely caused by market forces due to shortages.
Considering that electric vehicle manufacturing represents a small percentage of total, question I think is whether commodity prices can be lowered enough by increasing supply while at the same time using a lot more annually for the foreseeable future?

No. Charging time is a cost of ownership, period.
What’s this crap about 80% charge. When I am on a road trip I don’t put 80% in the fuel tank. I fill it to full not 3/4 full.
What is the charge time to 100 percent at a roadside charging station? Whatever it is it’s a total waste of time.
