Our govt. really did a disservice to transition to EVs by slapping on a big tax to anyone even brushing against a charger at work: 120€/year

Where do you live that buses aren't running during most of the day? That just seems absurd to me. Buses in my city run at only slightly reduced (from the rush hour peak) intervals for the whole day

Agreed, I assume this is a very US centric viewpoint. Wherever I have been in Europe the schedule is basically the same throughout the day, with reduced frequency in the evenings. Potentially slightly higher at rush hours, but nothing dramatic.
Not sure why you are being downvoted.

Split shift is a stupid idea that needs to die. It only works for people who always work '9 to 5'. Work a different shift and you drive. Need to go shopping - just drive. Have a day off - drive to whatever you do. Going to church one sundap - drive. Have a kid who might get sick at school - you better drive everyday.

In cities with working public transport it aligns the schedules to accommodate the ridership. Which sucks a bit in the late evening when headways might become a bit long.
The absolutely largest peak is in the morning and then a smaller one in the afternoon.
So you might have a baseline like every 10 or 15 mins and then in rush hour it is every 3 or 5 mins.

again. Stupid. Complete nonescense that comes from people who drive themselves and think of transit as for 'lesser people'.
humans have places to be. They shouldn't wait for transit. and they mostly won't.
As an aside, we have so far really dropped the ball on level 1 electric vehicle chargers at offices. As solar power and EV numbers increase, it's pretty obvious that we want more cars charging during the day and fewer charging at night.
