NL, hai letto bene. I don’t know what to make of this statement though.

I’ve clearly accounted for everything dude, including my own endurance and that of my family: every couple hours we need to get out, stretch, have a coffee and use the toilet. Plugging a DC 150kW takes 2 minutes, and we were never stuck in a queue waiting for that.

In any case the worse time wasters are roadworks and traffic jams on the German highways and the abysmal wait at the Gotthard Tunnel. If not for them I could easily make it in one day with a Model Y

More like 2 seconds in a Model Y.

Yeah, I have to say I’m dumbfounded by the brilliance of the UX.

all other designs where you have to present a card are simply a failure

Why not claim that it's completely 0 emissions (on 100% downhill trips) while at it?

You realise that you weren't in a queue because there are very few EVs around I hope?
