On my trip from home to my mother's and back a couple of weeks ago (660 mile round trip), the car charged faster than it was possible to queue for and eat lunch. So basically charging takes no time at all because I'm doing something else essential while it happens.

I mostly work from home or mixed-mode bike-train-bike commute to office. If use the car it's invariably local for big supermarket shop, transporting elderly relatives, weekend outings, or 50/50 motorway/urban to city office in peak returning home mid-late evening after peak. My typical average speed over weeks of this sort of driving, 30-35km/h.

Couldn’t agree more. I don’t understand how people can complain about a car not doing 400 miles in one go. No one should be driving that far without a break!

I love my charging stops, which is exactly why I started the Charge Happy Substack. I want to share all the lovely places with great walks, good coffee, and tasty food!
