How that would work? I park my car in the petrol station and return 8hours later?

My Model S charges in 20 minutes at a Tesla Supercharger when not at home (very occasionally 40 min if I’m on a road trip and am charging to 100% state of charge). One of the grocery stores we frequent has a Supercharger station. Mandate DC fast charging.

In europe most the cars don't support proper (>100kW) fast charging, and even those that do have a myraid of incompatible standards.

Which is odd! Tesla has covered most of Europe with Superchargers, and supports 250kw charge rates in many locations. Curious why other automakers don’t support higher charge rates.

I’m enjoying the schadenfreude.

Good :)

On the other hand most of the cars have a smaller battery than a Model S, which works the other way (eg a Model 3 SR charges in about half those times).

Haven't EVs outside of China basically standardised on either CCS2 or CHaDeMo? (it's also pretty easy for a charger to support both).

Maybe the selection of candy bars and magazines is so extensive that it will take that long to browse.

J/K. I'm 99% sure that commercial charging stations charge in ~30 minutes or less, not 8 hours.
