And you can ask a colleague to bring you 5l of fuel in a can... or you can have a spare 20l canister in your car. At the minute you can't do this with batteries, not even having a full boot of 2AAs
The median commute distance in Canada is 7.7km ea way, or let's call that 16km/day. An EV typically will get better than 20kWh/100km, or perhaps 3.2kWh of energy.
As most cars are parked overnight in a garage/carport/alongside house/apartment, I'd like to introduce my complete solution for at least 50% of the population when it comes to charging, to provide
a minimum of 1kW of charge, or the median commute in just 3.2 hours. Just imagine with a typical overnight parking of 12-16 hours you too could have FOUR times what you need in terms of EV charging, without lining up at public facilities.
I call it "The Regular Wall Outlet" (may vary by jurisdiction - EU and AU versions are even faster than NA versions)

it's Canada . eh ? who would sit outside charging their phone in the snow ?
Civilized snowy countries like Canada and Finland and Norway have block-heater outlets in every parking stall of every parking lot. Simply plug in there.
a 220volt 10 amp circuit gives you 2.2kw per hour. plug in from 8 in the evening till 8 in the morning. that gives you 24 kw.

Increased reliance on electricity for heating and cooking would be a predictable outcome if the end user price of natural gas doubles or more.
That could cause a shift to electricity which would require more electric power generation capacity in the winters, especially, than current power systems may be able to deliver. However, if (EV charging) fits within the power budget already allocated for block heaters as detailed in the previous post, (if such a budget already exists) the problem is already solved. If not people should figure in the extra power needs, which could be substantial.
In places where block heaters are not in common use, there may be a rise in electric power demand in the winter- which by default would be most in demand in the evenings, after people get home from work or play and turn up the heat and lighting for dinner, etc. (right after plugging their EVs into the wall outlet or gas using or hybrid cars into the block heater.)
If people are relying more on electricity for heat (because of pricing increases of LNG) at the same times as they are depending on charging EVs for transport, we may need to install timers that default to staggering EV charging later into the evenings after people have gone to sleep- when they need less electricity for other uses like heating and cooking and video streaming, etc.
That is probably a good idea regardless. Those timers should have an override available, as well as some kind of quick charge mode, too.

Well that is the reaction you get when you try to sell lemons like they are strawberries. You seem to be relentlessly looking for justification for your purchase and are completely blind for the fact you bought a lemon. But don't worry, after being fed up with your e-Golf you can trade it in for an ICE based car and never have to bother with finding chargers and plugging it in everywhere you go. And no more fights over chargers with other people who think they got there first, have more urgent matters or you have been charging long enough already. The financial loss will hopefully be worth not having the hassle any more.
One of the first hits on Google about 'charge rage' which is about people unplugging other people's EV to have theirs charged first:

Practical gasoline cars were available before the turn of the twentieth century, but they didn't dominate transportation everywhere for a couple of decades, and even today you find places and people who use horses.
funny... the first cars were electric... and then some clever guy found black stuff bubbling from the earth that happened to be flammable and thought : i can make money off that...
Anyone know about the FIRST Tesla electric car, a 1931 Pierce-Arrow Nikola converted to be all eclectic. And the best part.... It don't have any batteries so no need for charging stations. Acording to Tesla if ran on the energy from the universe. That same energy he claimed could power the world.
If only Elon had Tesla's orgininal car we would all be driving aound in electrica cars powered by the universe.

Nikola Tesla was pretty much "round the bend" by that time, claiming all sorts of nonsense.
Shame, as it detracts from his real achievements in the perfecting & application of polyphase AC.
(He didn't invent it, neither did he make a radio system which was useable in any practical sense)
What I would like to learn more about is the Edison/Ford partnership for building an electric car. What happened?

In 1931, so the story goes, Tesla took his nephew to a garage in Buffalo, New York, and showed him a modified Pierce-Arrow automobile. The car’s ‘cosmic energy power receiver’ – a black box with 12 vacuum tubes – was connected to a long antenna.
The car was said to have been driven for about 80 km at speeds of up to 140 km/h during an eight-day road test. Tesla allegedly said the device would power the car forever, and also supply the needs of a household “with power to spare”.
It is a fact that in 1898 Tesla filed a patent for a “method of and apparatus for controlling mechanism of moving vessels or vehicles”.

Your reference concludes it didn't happen. That patent was for remote control not magic power.
