Thanks J&A! I appreciate the reply, sounds like you're pretty reasonable in your expectations!
No worries. I think most EV drivers are. There is an etiquette, most follow it, some don't. Those of us with driveways or garages with power can charge at home. Those who live in apartments need to rely on public/commercial locations so the etiquette is to generally not use those stations unless you really need them...which is rarely. On this side of the pond there will be gas and diesel vehicles for awhile yet as the commuter vehicle ranges of 150KM don't work for those who need to travel longer distances and of course pickup owners. In europe things are changing rapidly. Holland is the first of many countries that have just outlawed gas or diesel vehicle sales past 2025. Although there is no real infrastructure crisis they will have to add a significant amount of stations to keep up with the demand as there are many apartment dwellers in countries like Holland. In Norway this year 1/3 of all vehicles sold this year will be electric. It will be an interesting 10 years.
