The fact that your car can drive 700 miles without a fill-up does not
mean
that you can drive it that far without a break.

For me, a practical use case is to be able to drive 1-2 hours between
breaks. I have a petrol car, but if I had an electric car, I'd just
plug
it in at each rest break.

Would you normally take a rest break for as long as it *really* takes to
recharge a car - not the fairyland figure of 5 minutes.

If driving all day, I'll normally take a sensible lunch break.

I don’t do lunch even when not driving. The most I might
do is an apple when on a decent trip.

About an hour, or so.

Doesn’t take anything like that long to eat an apple.

Same as when at work. A 1 hour re-charge
is more within the bounds of possibility.

But is **** all charge for an EV, particularly if
you have decent heating and cooling in the EV.
