Do you really refill you petrol/diesel tank everytime it drops below 70% ?
Seems a bit too much like hard work to me.

The answer might be yes, if there were very few filling stations, and
the queue to get in one during the day was 40 mins.


So in reality a no then .


Correct, that's because there are lots of filling stations, and they can
provide a full "charge" in a few mins. It takes no planning to make a
long trip in a petrol or diesel car.

Not a situation that EV drivers can as yet enjoy, hence my thought
experiment to level the playing field a bit.


But EV drivers can add a full charge to their vehicle without having to leave the house or garage and do so while sleeping. Something petrol or diesel car owners can't do, but they do get to sniff their fuel.
