That’s not what I meant.

I see a lot of ICE drivers giving an EV driver a ride to the charger. For example, husband wife couples.

If they had two EVs in their (multi person, ok?) household, then the ICE driving person would not have to spend their time being a chauffeur, because the EV driver could just drive the second EV to the charger and leave it there charging.

And then when the second EV is charged?

It feels like you have a half thought out point. Sure it can work, but I think anyone in that situation would discover it is really inconvenient in practice.

No it’s not only fully thought through, it’s a tried and tested lifehack that we did for a year or so, and we loved it.

It means if you have a 10 minute walk to the charger, you only have to do that walk once when you drop off for the first charge, and once when you pick up for the last charge. That can save a lot of time.
