Muddy, are entitled to your opinion but only a peanut brain would even consider charging their EV everyday on their way to work.

Firstly unless the battery is less than 10kWh it wouldn't need to be charged everyday but if it was only a tiny battery then your weight argument would be shot down in flames anyway. A zippy little 2 seater with a 20kW motor, 10kWh battery and adequate crash protection would weigh 750kg and have a range over 100km in suburban conditions.

Secondly even someone who rents would just plug in a wall charger so their EV battery is topped up to 80% every night while they sleep, for commuting there is no need to ever visit a fast charger, maybe a free destination charger at a shopping centre if you want to save a few cents on your power bill.

My commute along with 1000's of others is 200 k's 7 whenI get home have ot do soccer/ ballet runs.

How far does your leaf go on a charge??

Sounless fully charges EVERY day, 80% doesn;t get me there & I don't have time to be looking for a charge point/ moving the car during the day or charging on the run home 7 then run an extension cord across the footpath (killing a person inthe process).

You DON"T plan your day around your vehicle 'needs'...or are these new EV's modelled on the 'needy' millennials.

Half the battery life on your smart phone see if the market thinks that is fit for purpose.
