    Germany is so weird. Sometimes they’re fuckin genius: xrays, airbags, aspirin… and then we have this.

    Who spends enough time at a gas station to charge an EV? What are you thinking?

      Hyundai and Kia EVs go to 80% in 15 minutes.

      Gas stations are much better place for that than random tesla supercharging spots, there are people to assist the disabled, you have Toilets, food, coffee basically you can do stuff for 15 minutes easily.

        germany recently shut down their last running nuclear power plants and basically bricked them so they can’t be used ever again, had both nordstream piplines destroyed, is heavily dependend on french nuclear power and u.s.-american liquid gas and is already talking about “controlled brownouts” - i guess installing millions of high voltage charging outlets for cars (that are not even on the streets yet) when one of the three governing parties actually wants cars mostly gone is rather bizarr, but hey - it’s germany lol

      For a family trip? Toilet break, coffee, cakes for the kids, that’s 15-20 minutes on a rest area. We do this on a weekend, so need a quick grocery run (our supermarkets are famously closed on Sunday), that’s easily 30-40 minutes total.
