parking / charging overnight also often comes with the added bonus of getting the hours you charge between 8pm -> 7am the next morning for free. At least that's the case with Source.
If you're doing a rapid charge (available at most service stations) you can probably get tanked up in the time it takes to grab a stabrucks and do a soduku while having a poo.
Sodupoo.
Pooduku?

It's funny reading my summary back, as it shows why people's reticence to full EV is so often irrational.
When we went to visit them in France every service station I stopped at had chargers.
I get why my dad is so excersised about loosing loads of parking and access to theoretical chargers he hasn't yet used. But is parking somewhere else to charge up over night once a week that much of a hassle? Given that when I was a kid you'd often have drive around for ages looking for a parking space.
Also I did point out that it's probably cheaper and easier to keep the mini and just rent a nice big comfy car for the long trips to France than getting a whole new car. But is just that psychological thing about "wasting" money on a rental.
