    There’s 27 years to go till EU’s predicted (not required by law) end of ICE cars. There’s time to invest, time to innovate and hopefully time for your town to reduce crime and gain more resources.

    Also HVO is pretty affordable nowadays. Maybe 20% more than regular diesel fuel at most. It is claimed to be carbon neutral. I’m sure something similar will be developed for otto cycle engines.

    Also unless you’re planning to use a first gen leaf past the 2050s, quick charging isn’t very bad. All modern EVs have battery cooling and will also throttle charging when the temperature rises. The don’t full on go 350kW for 20 minutes straight.

    Waiting 2 hours is solved by installing more chargers. Clearly a regional issue with fuel pumps as well because I never have to wait over 2-3 minutes.

      27? Last time I checked 2025 is 2 years away and 2035 is 12 years away.

      crime What crime?

      Again, how will a town of 25k people that can barely maintain street lights and roads be able to afford 15 thousand chargers?

        It’s EU’s prediction for when the last ICE cars will be off the road, which was the initial point made - when USED ICE cars are gone.

        What crime?

        Ia destroying public or private property not a crime over there? You said they were definitely going to be destroyed, I’m assuming you have a high crime rate there.

        25k people, 15k chargers

        Takes my town of 90k, fewer than 100 fuel pumps to have a nonexistent wait time. Do you think everyone in your town will pick the exact same day and hour to go to the fast charger?

          I’m Czech. The problem is with a certain group and in todays political climate is unsolvable.

          Yes, exactly. You need just a few gas stations

          Do you think everyone in your town will pick the exact same day and hour to go to the fast charger?

          After work? Yes. Again, can’t wait for those extension cables hanging from my building’s 7th floor

            Every day after work? There are 7 days in a week and you don’t even need to charge every week.

            Also why would you drag extension cords? You should get the building board to install chargers properly. If you own your apartment, you have a vote on the board, no? And if you rent, you bug your landlord to bring it up. They’ll hopefully realize it adds value even after you’re gone.

            This all sounds like a lack of political will on the part of the citizens. This changes quickly once people realize they NEED to charge their cars.
