Free 3 years ago? why your sources are always very old? do you how fast China install charing stations all across China?
The point in that video was not charge time at all. It was about how most people in the US (80%) charge at home and because Chinese cars have smaller batteries they are going to need more infrastructure to keep them charged.
The assumption is most Chinese EV owners have the ability to plug their cars into a public charger somewhere in their residence's garage or parking lot or a nearby station and are not throwing very very very long extension cords off their balconies or out their windows to charge their cars below.
This is in contrast to 80% of the US who are not using public chargers at all but are simply plugging their cars in at home directly into a regular 120v wall socket (or have gone through the expense of adding special wiring to allow 240v and above)...and if a plug isn't located directly next to where they park their car they may actually be running extension cords across their property.
The key is they are not using charging stations...so it looks like the US has lots of EVs but no charging infrastructure to support them.
The guy is running a cord from his house to his car. His residence doesn't show up on a map of "charging locations". in fact it is likely there are not many nearby simply because of lack of need.
