To each their own but I disagree with that. 8 hours is whats needed to get from 0-100%, and the vast majority of the time you’re only going to need to charge from 20-80% at most. If you use your car so much and never need sleep to the point that your car can never be found sitting for long enough to charge, then… wow. You would have to be driving about 20 hours per day, every day and putting over 400,000 miles per year on your car for that to not make sense. I don’t know about you but I know thats not the case for 99.999% of people.
Most people drive 100 miles per-day at the most, and even that is quite a lot from their normal usage. Adding 100 miles of charge to an average EV takes about 4-5 hours at level 2, like while parked in a garage. You can further cut this down by plugging in at your destination as well. As long as you’re a human who occasionally needs sleep I don’t see any issue.
I understand for most people that there is ample time to charge in a day. But, you’re always doing it. It’s another thing to maintain and think about all the time. Most people fill their gas tank once every week or two and that’s that. Charging becomes an everyday thing.
