    The major complaint I hear is that it takes forever to charge. It’s fine for commuting if you charge at home/work, but sounds a bit rough for road trips and the likes.

    I often see people at the gas station’s plug just watching videos or reading a book outside, doesn’t make me want one. Hybrid though I could see myself buying.

      Depending on the car and budget: It totally is.
      At work we have a VW eUP.
      Charges at a snail pace (¼ = 60-90ish km at 2-3h).

      Yes it’s fine most of the time but if we swap it between on-site visits one really has to wait or risk not coming home (and don’t get me started on the landmine of charging infrastructure).

      German news about the whole infrastructure: https://youtu.be/GQ2hbLzfQ54

      TLDW: Close a contract with one provider (e.g. your supplier at home), pay tripple the amount because that charging station is from another provider. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
