I drive an EV for work, haven't got enough charging facilities there so I fast charge it at a local supermarket. Takes about an hour, I get to have a break and a cup of tea. It's an iveco, they're pretty unreliable but I've heard good things about other manufacturers. And it drives lovely. I do like having an ice in my car, and will for a long time as electrics are way more than I can afford.
Supermarket rapid chargers tend to be 50kW while the ones on motorways are jup to 400kW - 8 times as fast. Just something to know if thinking about long journeys.
