I think I watched a video that showed the case when the user was indeed better off NOT using the extension. If you followed an affiliate link that came with a discount for a product that Honey didn't have one for they would still remove the affiliation, thus making you lose money.
The escape quickly argument is a good one to challenge. You'd be better off with a full tank of gas, and it's the same with EV, charge to 100%. All good, but I can pump my car to 100% in 5 minutes (plus 10 minutes drive to a gas station and back) and I simply can't do it with an EV. Either you're slow charging at home for hours, or driving 10-20 minutes to the DC charger to spend even more minutes charging...
I find the range argument silly - if I start with a full tank and drive my car until the tank is exhausted, I'll be exhausted too and need several hours of rest. In the case of an EV, I'll just plug it in and charge overnight while I rest and recharge myself. I can't remember a single ICE car I have driven that I could safely use up the tank in a single drive - If I could, I'd be the king of Le Mans.
The only issue is the possible surprise long drive, when you need to jump into your car and drive for a long time immediately. It's doable with an ICE and not great with an EV.

This seems odd to me. Several times a month I drive more miles in a day than I can get out of one tank of fuel and I don't get exhausted from it. Maybe I have good driving stamina though, I don't know.
