It's still one location. If I live in Trafford is easily a 45 minute drive, much worse at peak times.

> very few people that live in Greater Manchester would use a really fast charger

Because obviously we all have driveways and we can leave the car there overnight. Fuck 'em terraces scum. /s

Like many UK EV owners I don't have a driveway either and use a lamp post charger overnight.

Good for you, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a lamppost for every car out there.

Luckily not every car needs charging every day, plus there are extender bollards for the gaps
