People will only fast charge on long trips and slow charge whenever the car is parked, i.e. 22h per day.

>slow charge whenever the car is parked How does that work for people who live in cities? I like electric cars - less moving parts, less noise, less cost maintaining and driving - but they are utterly useless to me because there is no way I can charge one. Hybrids are ok, though, I can charge in the rare case I'm actually parked near a charger.

  > How does that work for people who live in cities? With curbside charging, and wireless charging will be convenient once that's rolled out. No cables, just park over the charging plate. It's not like wireless phone charging.

Did you just make that up or...? Where do you 'slow charge' your car when you're the average German renter (i.e. more than half the population). But irrespective of that, what does that have to do with charging times at fuel pumps? https://www.destatis.de/Europa/EN/Topic/Population-Labour-Social-Issues/Social-issues-living-conditions/RentedAccommodation.html https://www.destatis.de/Europa/EN/Topic/Population-Labour-So...

  I charge my car where it is parked, as I said above. Obviously the necessary infrastructure doesn't exist yet, but with EVs only making up a couple percent of the cars on the road that's not really a problem right now.
