Wow an 18 minute 0-80% recharge is a real killer vs petrol by the time you’ve queued for a pump, put on a glove or get a dirty hand, dispensed 50 litres of fuel, put a mask on, queue to get in the shop, queue at the till pay that can easily add up to a significant chunk of that 18 minutes anyway.
Not to mention you drive to where you’re going, park, car charges no waiting at all. Plenty of parking spaces available to charge & park so it’s a non issue. Also the vast majority of car journeys are nowhere near the range of the battery so the only charging would take place at home anyway.
This non stop sniping at charging “issues” by ill informed attitudes really needs to stop. Its not us versus them (I don’t have an EV BTW I drive a grand voyager) why do people feel the need to justify their position by denigrating the other option? We had it for decades with diesel vs petrol & now fossil fuels vs EV. Its completely irrational & pointless
