Petrol thinking
With Petrol and Diesel vehicles fuelling is a pain, often requiring a diversion or even a special trip to a petrol station and standing whilst doing it. Whereas charging an Electric Vehicle can be carried out whilst doing something more interesting.
Many manufacturers and articles will list that it takes 5-8 hours for a full charge, but for many it only takes 15-20 minutes for an 80% charge!
Don’t assume you will be charging from zero to full, that’s Petrol thinking. You can top-up anytime, for example whilst doing the weekly shop you can leave to car to charge if your supermarket has a charger. Why not charge whilst you’re in the office all day? Any visits to a Coffee shop are potential charging times. Of course the most convenient, especially for those with a driveway, is to charge whilst sleeping.
