I never make special trips for petrol, nor do I ever have to wait to get on a pump. I have heard countless stories of EV drivers have to wait hours to get on a charging point however.

I don't want to go find lunch or visit local shops when I have a long drive. I want to be able to get there and back with zero hassle.

Ok, I’ve never had to wait at a supercharger. I’ve never seen a broken one. I never plan ahead for one. My cars trip planner just inserts them in navigation wherever they need to be and never plans more than 20 minutes, to stay on the steep section of the charging curve

Calling bullshit on this. I drove a gas powered car for 16 years. Unless you started driving earlier this year, you've definitely done both of those things at this point.

I just get petrol when I'm passing. Why would I make a special trip? There's also plenty of petrol stations around that even if there was a queue I'd go to the next one but these days especially there never is. Most people use pay at the pump now so they're in and out within a minute.
