    Edit, wording

    Still a 8h driving day will require more charging time than gas refill time, regardless of how many chargers there are.

    Acknowledged on your planning point, that’s a huge improvement.

      Sure. Nobody disputes that.

      But it’s a very small percentage of the population who drives like that.

      And for much of the rest of the people, an EV can be a viable option.

      In the uk the woodland trust are.putting chargers into car parks so you can atop on a long drive for.a walk in the woods, it’s great for those rare long journeies and can tie in with lunch perfectly.

      Supermarkets and similar are doing the same so you can shop and charge at the same time. Were going to see more of this as infrastructure improves and roll out continues, rather than adding time fueling electric cars for most people will remove the need to ever make a stop just to fill up.
