If I said I didn't want to drive from Burnley to Bournemouth and back because every single petrol station had
either queues or the pumps were out of order, you would
think I was an idiot.
But that is what you are saying about the charging network.
Stop being purposefully obtuse.
I made an observation about the charging network. You may well disagree, because you think I am against EVs (which I am not, read my other posts on this thread) and then you mention queues at pumps as if that is a fair comparison. To educate you, it is not. I can refuel my diesel car in less than 2 minutes and pay for it, an EV will take significantly longer to "refuel" and whilst it is occupying the small number of slots other users cannot use the refuelling station because we dont have anywhere near enough infrastructure in place to support that many more EVs (granted that is improving, but it is no where near what it needs to be if the evangelical EV proponents have their way).
Of course, I dont have to use the motorway network to refuel, I can use any one of the 100s of stations around my area before I leave for my long trip, and I wont have to visit again during the trip (yes I could go to Bournemouth from Burnley and back on 1 tank of fuel) but an EV will likely need to "refuel" at least twice on that near 600 mile round trip, and probably more.
As result, I'll think you're an idiot because you fail to understand that my observation was just that, an observation. Not just because you say silly things about fuel stations and queues.
