Well the only point he has is that it does take longer.
A very stupidly made point showing his deliberate anti e-car bias. Clearly he's what is described as a petrol-head in the Jeremy Clarkson mould, a yesterday man.
E-cars have been an unexpected big success in the USA, especially in California, leaving Tesla now as the currently the world's largest producer of any single e-model, reinforced by them having their own network of ultra high speed charging points.
I can equally show a bias on the advantages of e-car charging:
Always leaving home with a full "tank", there's no fuel pumps in drives or our garages.
Topping up at points when elsewhere such as supermarkets etc. That's usually free, even with such as a rapid 80% charge from IKEA. That's equal to 120 miles or £15 worth of free fuel on an IC car and you get that even with the smallest of purchases such as a pack of AA batteries.
Many free charge points in street or car parks in big cities, some councils with free parking thrown in.
No smell of diesel or petrol or occasional splashback contaminating hands and shoes when filling up.
No standing in the cold and sometimes biting wind while the car's tank slowly fills.
No going to or into the garage to queue and pay, just touch the contactless card to the charger.
No messy topping up engine oil at garages.
Instead for me on my couple of charges away from home it's been plug in, stroll into Starbucks and enjoy a relaxed cup of coffee indoors with a pleasant view while the car fills up. Even where rarely there's no such facility, one can sit comfortably in the car while it tops itself up.
