EV charging time

[prested]

It takes about 5 mintes to gas up a car, but 30 minutes to recharge an EV. The cars that will be waiting to charge up will form lines that will be miles  long. Thus don't expect to find a site in town; the cost of real estate is prohibitive. In the UK it is anticipated that you will only be able to charge up during off peak hours and, get this, the national grid will be allowed to actually use the electricity in your car! So, you could plug in at night wth half a battery full and in the morning it could be nil!  Hang on to your gas powered cars folks!

you will be able to set these parameters in the car. So you can set for example, I will see power at x price and from 100% to 60% for example. So you still have plenty for the commute.

A few points.   EV's are basically at the stage of the Model T Ford.   There will be huge changes due to innovation.   There are several research models being developed right now in battery technology.   All of them reduce charging times down to minutes, not hours.   Which ones will be the best is yet to be determined but once the trials are completed,  it will

What about the fact that our electrical grids IF ONLY USED TO CHARGE VEHICULES, can only sustain 25% of the American vehicular fleet at any given time.  Do you see any nuclear power plants or electric dams being built in your area?  I think this transition will take take decades. OR rather "should" take decades in order to build the infra required.  Knowing our politicians

People are not going to be charging all at the same time. That is nonsense:  https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesmorris/2021/11/13/electricity-grids-can-handle-electric-vehicles-easily--they-just-need-proper-management/?sh=298e09037862
