This stuff is dishonest. Firstly it uses the most expensive electricity in the country, in fast-chargers, up to 70c/kWh. That's more than twice what many pay at home for electricity, and more than 10 times what you pay to recharge your EV at the rates now available from many energy companies. The fast-charger rates will come down as more are installed and there's more competition. Some fast-chargers are already as low as 15c/kWh. It also says it only took 6 minutes to fuel the ICE, and over an hour to charge the EV. That's technically true, but this is a 900 km journey, people should stop for a rest every 2 hours anyway. The ICE 'range' people never factor that in, it may take 6 minutes to fill the car, but they're still having the rest stops on top of that. Both types of vehicles are off the road for about the same time. And an EV can charge itself while you're inside having food and drink, unlike an ICE, where you have to stay with the bowser until you're full, then go and pay, then move the vehicle and park it, then go inside. A good 10-15 minutes, easily. And that's before you have your rest, with food and drink, toilet etc. An EV driver just arrives, parks, plugs in and goes straight inside for their rest stop.
