This always bothered me. People always say "it takes 5-10 minutes to fuel up an ICE car". I timed fueling up my Honda Odyssey - from the moment I turned off the engine to the moment I started it up again it took 2 minutes and 28 seconds; filled up 15 gallons (giving about 300 miles of combined range, or around 400 miles of highway range). Actual fuel dispensing time is shorter as this included getting out of the car, putting the credit card and getting the receipt (which would be more or less equivalent to futzing with the charger and app).
So for an ICE vehicle, apples to apples to an EV charging time claims, it is 2 minutes for 400 miles of range.
