Netherlands are northern.

As an exercise, try the Tesla Go anywhere tool ( https://www.tesla.com/trips ). Note that this is only using Tesla charging stations which are merely a small part of the whole network. But a very convenient part. You plug in for 25 minutes and do a bathroom or lunch break or go shopping or watch a short movie - typically possible since the stops are at convenient locations for that.

Remember that you never need to think about any of this. You tell the car where to go and it will plan all the required stops for you.

You take 25 minutes to go to the bathroom?

If you're traveling with a family, yes, it will likely take 10 minutes or more. And as I said it's not just the bathroom, you just take a break. Get a sandwich.

Having used an EV for some time now, I don't want to buy one that charges much faster. Once the charging is complete you quickly have to leave the charging spot, because there are fees. So you don't want to be stuck in a queue at the bathroom or shop.

In any case, new chargers have improved to 250 kW and 350 kW is coming, so charging times can be down to 10-15 minutes if the car supports it. And let's remember that most people only need this for long trips, such as going on vacation. I never charge on a public charger day to day. I have not charged anywhere except at home for many months now.

If you are travelling with family and have some serious distance to cover, this many long breaks will cost you more hotel nights.

Also, people go on vacation more or less at the same time, so be prepared to be in a line before you can charge.
