My friend lives near Brussels, Belgium. I currently live in between the cities of Hasselt and Antwerp also Belgium. The distance covered in a single trip is 83.2 Km. He drives and I quote: "a full spec Nissan Leaf" whatever that may mean.
During winter times, my friend has to take a look at traffic flows because if he has a traffic jam he'll run his battery flat and be stranded.
During summer, he's hot because the car can't sustain AC and drive the distance without running his battery flat and be stranded.
When he arrives, he has to find a charging pole in the middle of the city centre. He checks this in advance on his application/website/... before he leaves because else, he is stranded.
If we go out in the evening he has to spend the night or his car isn't charged and he's stranded.
To start charging he has to select one of the three cables he has in his car because of "standards".
In the end, I pick him up in my ICE because he's not even at his destination.
We have done this dance for about 5 times now and I can assure you that -to me- the EV market seems to be doing everything it possibly can to make me as uninterested as possible in buying an EV.
I'd rather take Belgian public transportation than deal with this nonsense. A train might get cancelled, but at least I know I'll be home that same day.
