    That is correct, but people need time to adapt. If your lifestyle is; Drive to work, buy coffee, drive home, buy groceries, cook dinner, Netflix and chill, charging sn EV overnight is fine.

    If your lifestyle deviates at all from a regular schedule like this, you will need fast chargers, a hybrid or an ICE vehicle. If you go overnight at weekends or tow a trailer regularly, a Hybrid or and ICE vehicle are the only options.

      There are home chargers that do 7kw/h with installation. Last I checked it was a few grand so quite cheap all things considered.

        Yes, I sell them at work. Most people who have spent all their disposable on EV repayments are reluctant to spend even a couple grand on an EV charger. The few that have factored the cost of a charger into their car loan often bring them back because they didn’t realise that they are only useful if your home has 3-phase power and off-street (preferably garaged) parking.

        It is amazing how many people buy EVs because “it is the right thing to do” without doing any research or due diligence. They think that Fast Chargers are a suitable replacement for a petrol bowsers.
