This is just too funny Around 24 Tesla owners were waiting to charge in a Waitrose car park in the village of South Mimms, Hertfordshire, on December 25. A second added: 'We need more superchargers. I love Tesla, but this country is not up to standards if they want total electricity!'
EV drivers aren’t aware that all the electric motors driving the wheels form a perfect intense electromagnetic field to surround them. The downside is never discussed. Also if it catches fire, they stil haven’t worked out how to put fires out.
I have an old diesel too and it gets upper 40's mpg on long runs. I don't do many miles per year (~4K) mostly on long runs but the climate crazies still have it in for me. I read that EVs are something like 1/3 heavier than their combustion equivalents (they carry around a lot of AA batteries whose energy per kg is ). The energy density of petrol at around 44MJ/Kg is about 100 times higher than Li Ion batteries 0.54MJ/Kg (assuming 150Wh/Kg). They're not going to compete any time soon.
We burn gas to heat water to drive steam turbines to turn electric generators to feed step-up transformers to send electricity many miles to power step-down transformers to distribute to homes to a step-down transformer to charge EV batteries. Given there's substantial energy loss at each stage, what are we doing?

They are lucky. I would have expected longer than a 3 hour wait.
