Around 420km range. Full charge in 30 mins or so.

That’s a lot better on the charge time than I expected. Can only hope there’s room for improvement from there.
Both battery capacity and charge speeds are improving fast so will only become better
hope is not a good advisor.
electric cars are neither innovative nor sustainable:

Hope? I’m saying I’m superbly happy with the car after three years and have had zero issues with range or any technical problem.
I have understood that you have a problem with ev’s but it seems like you don’t have much experience owning one
Agreed. Three years into EV ownership. Zero issues. Best car I’ve ever owned. Some people just can’t be convinced.
The problem with EVs is not the cars themselves, they're great if you're doing short trips or city driving. The problem is that the distribution networks cannot support large numbers of EVs without suffering from voltage collapse.
The reason they're being pushed is that a flexible load is needed on the transmission network to absorb the intermittent renewables.
so you can only go 400km or less before you have to look for a charging station. as you know many charging stations do not allow charging any more. even if you find a charging station you wait 30 minutes for charging it? how inconvenient and stressful
Well, I’ve travelled my country far and wide, sometimes driving 800km a day, with zero issues. There are superchargers everywhere and whenever you add a destination outside your range it automatically includes a stop at a supercharger (that never requires a detour)
I'm doing very regular back and forth trips of 800km per leg. It takes me approx 60min more on a leg than when I was doing it with combustion engine. Combustion or EV, I stop max every 300km anyway just to get out of the car for a while.
Exactly. A break after 300km isn’t exactly what I would classify as inconvenient
Tell me if I'm wrong but your comments feel like you're pushing all the sparse negative things you've heard over the years about EV but don't actually use one for yourself to test your hypothesis.
