What charging problem?
the waiting time from empty to full. lets say i'm a muppet and forget to plug the vehicle in when i get home so the next day i dont have enough charge to go where i want.. at the moment its going to take 1hr min to charge the vehicle. or even worse i have to charge on the go so sit somewhere for 1hr twiddling my thumbs. thats the problem with electric vehicles.


for electric vehicles to work we are going to need charge on the go provided by contactless charging road infrastructure. otherwise battery (petrol) stations where you get a fully charged 'pack' swapped over.
