Have 41Mm on my Ioniq5 that has the same “superpowers”. Have used 350kW charger only once in that time. It was fast, but in my use case (30Mm/yr) hardly is needed. You always leave home with full tank. Usually 10m top-up while visiting a loo at the 50..150kW charger will do the trick for longer journeys. Maybe it is my “old” age, my bladder can not stand longer than 6h driving without stops. As for the V2L — thus I have used lot more. Have had power failures at home where I switched all the critical systems to the car, have “taken electricity” to my father in law, have use it to power tools outside (mitre saw, for example) and boiled tea with a 2.7kW kettle.

Bigger for me, is the charging network layout... I have done a lot of road trips in the past decade or so, and have often stopped where there are there are at least 5-6 or more cars waiting for the ~6 or so charging spots... even if it's 20m of extra wait, that's close to a half hour to get a spot then another half hour, give or take. Not sure I'd like that. I know a lot of people that love their EVs for daily commute. And before I started working from home full time, had been considering it. At this point, for the tank every couple weeks that I use, I'd just assume stick to petrol and keep my car longer.
