You’d do a weekly food shop, and do your weekly charge at the same time.

“Well over an hour” is wrong, there’s almost no electric car that won’t do an 80% charge in 45 minutes, and most take half an hour.

I never said it would take an hour. I specifically said you could get an 80% charge in about an hour.

And the grocery store better have a lot of chargers if everyone is doing their weekly fillup while they shop.

> Filing your electric car is at least an hour if you have a DC fast charger and that gets you only 80% full.

“At least an hour” to 80% charge. I don’t think there’s a car on the market for which this is the case.

People will charge in a variety of way. Some people in apartments will have block parking for which there will be chargers, some people will go to superchargers or similar, some will do it at the gym, some at the train station, some shopping, some at work, others will have chargers for on street parking. Other people will use car sharing schemes which have dedicated chargers. Ultimately cars are parked for hundreds of hours a week and you only need a tiny fraction of that for charging.
