Which is great. No need to poo poo it.
However. Fast charge isn't really necessary unless you are on a long journey over 400 km and need to charge on route or you drive a lot. Eg taxi Uber etc.
Best thing ever industry can do for planet would be a 350km car that's cheap. That's really what most car users require. They drive to and from work and most drive less than 100km a day.
Just like a phone you charge over night and don't need oooodles of range.
Anyone going on long trips really should be using a train with another vehicle if required at the destination.
Truckers are a different story and should be separated from the day to days if average car users
Charging at work via solar would be even better. If there was some way for businesses to be incentivised for it.
Why would you need that ? That makes no sense. Unless you drive 350km a day for work. If that's the case. Stop.
You aren't doing any favours for your job your health the planet.
Get a train or public transportation. Shouldn't be commuting hours to work. That's just nonsense
There are heaps of people who do just that without the privilege nor opportunity to stop or do otherwise
Do what ?
Drive long for work.
