Agreed. IFF they were available within my price range (which they aren't) then they'd be ideal for most of our journeys. And I have the benefit of having my own drive.
I disagree.
IFF we put the laws of physics aside for a minute, have a look at a typical forecourt when it's not very quiet. Take my local supermarkets - Morrisons has 12 pumps, Asda has 8, Tesco 12 (from memory) - and stand alone filling stations - 4, 6, and 8 pumps each from memory. Yes, they all have quiet times, but they all also have busy times - i.e. when people want to use them. Lets say it typically takes up to 10 minutes between arriving at the pump and driving away. Fast chargers take something like 1/2 hour and don't complete a charge in that time. So immediately 1/3 of the throughput.
No problem you say, plug in and go and do your shopping. Yeah, and how popular will you be with the angry mob waiting to charge when you arrive back in an hour or two's time ?
But I did mention the laws of physics. When multiple cars are charging, I believe many of these fast chargers reduce their power so that the combined load doesn't exceed what the local DNO can provide. So when it's busy, you can forget about that 1/2 hour 80% fill.
And that means you are back to having many dozens of charging points to cater for people going shopping for an hour or two while the car charges. I don't see there being much appetite for that for a while.
And for a bit of a laugh (or cry depending on your viewpoint), someone has worked out that a tesla now costs more to charge than to put petrol in a similar petrol car.
https://www.whichcar.com.au/car-news/teslas-now-more-expensive-to-charge-than-petrol-cars So you pay a massive markup for having a lecky car, then if you can't charge at home you pay more than if you were putting petrol in.
