Everyone's different of course, but I find my need to charge pretty much aligns with my need to hit the bathroom so at the end of the day charging doesn't add all that much to my travel time. That being said, if I did travel long distances on a regular basis I'm not sure I'd want an EV. But I don't, so it's pretty much perfect for my usage. YMMV.

Not doubting your BMW experience...
May not be indicative overall...my experience quite different with a Cyber truck [moderate use professionally, don't own it].
Certainly concur w/ YMMV, here's why...
Even with overnight charging, with only a days worth of city runs, small commutes, errands etc...in many instances, requires stopping - - sitting around in 'recharge purgatory' as illustrated below.
At least with Cyber truck, takes approx 1 hour on 'standard' charger to yield only ~30min bump.
Sure fast chargers perform better; however, not always accessible, available [ie lot full].
The bladder capacity/frequency analogy is hilarious and conjures images for a business opportunity
==> Paid EV "Charge Station ePotty's" with frequent 'tinkler rewards'
Like it or not...here's what an actual 'unproductive, utter waste of time' looks like...
