Maybe all of these things are true in Scotland, especially your part of Scotland. In your particular use case, it would be prudent to have a faster charger installed at your home. It’s an additional expense, but your use case is not typical

I love the style of analysis, but it doesn’t hit on some key things, imho. 1. Japan pretty much missed the desktop internet phase in the 90s and early 00s. Services like Compuserve and AOL (or Japanese equivalents) were not often utilized.
