A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

A car wash and snack bar is a better was to spend 15-30m. This isn’t 2004. EVs don’t need a movie’s length of time to charge unless you’re at home.
The drive in theater option would be great for people who live in apartments with no access to a charger. To fully charge, not just top up.
A lot of people just use super charger for this use case. 15 min and you get 200mi of range. There is no need to really hang around for over an hour. Its not much worse than a trip to a gas station.
15 min for 200mi
vs
5 min for 600mi
Totally equivalent right?
It's annoying when EV-angelists act like range is a non issue compared to ICE vehicles. I want to buy an EV, but none of them have the range or charging speed I'd require for my typical drives.
