Meals don't last for eight hours......which is about what a standard charging outlet takes for a low-charge-level EV. A more powerful 400-volt charger might do it in about 20-30 minutes...but they are probably harder to find.
Then you have the question of whether the plugs on local chargers will even fit the ports of the specific EV that you have. From what I understand (although I could be wrong on this), Tesla ports are different from those on some other electric vehicles. I don't think they have been standardized yet in the American market.

Stopping on a trip for 20 minutes is no big deal.

People who are not local to NYC, think everyone just lives in new condo buildings with wall to ceiling glass windows lol
In reality, most of the buildings are old COOPS especially ones in sought after locations along Park Ave or Central Park.
The new developments along UWS, Hudson Yards, Tribeca account for small amount of overall buildings.
This doesn’t even to take into account all the public housing buildings which are falling apart and have no budget for current repairs let alone installing tens of thousands of chargers.

Most people are not local to NYC, which is why using NYC as the litmus test of what can and can not be achieved doesn't make any sense.

The fastest Chargers are the Hellcats. 
Depends how much of a hurry you are in. Most of the time, though, I have a fair amount of patience. But it also begs the question, like I said earlier, if charging-plugs will fit different brands of EVs.......at the local Wawa's, for instance, those charging stations seem to be specifically for Teslas.
