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.
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.
My ICE 2015 Cooper and 2019 Volvo S60 float around 300-350mi of range. Which, is right about what all the top EVs get with their extended range battery options.
But get what works for you. A smaller 200mi entry level battery would be more than enough for my needs. Even with a long trip, I actually want to stop and stretch my legs every 2-3 hours.
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.

15 min for 200mi
vs
5 min for 600mi
Totally equivalent right?

600 is a lot. Are you talking about a hybrid?
