You can charge it at charge points surely?

I mean you don’t refuel your car at home, do you?

Of course it’s a benefit. All I’m saying is that least where I live plenty of people drive the car to a supermarket and do their weekly shop while the car charges (or similar, there’s charging a everywhere in car parks near retail).

Do you charge your phone in a grocery store? I mean, if fuel was readily available through a pipe straight in your house, you wouldn't go to pump, would you?

Electricity is already available to 99.99% of homes, and 100% of homes considering switching to EV. Fuel, I don't think it is available to any home at all.

Also, it takes 30 mins at least to fully charge an EV (while degrading the battery a lil more than average), it takes 5 minutes tops to refuel an ICE car.

yeah but that's not really a solid comparison, brotein shake. If u already drive to a station for fuel then that doesn't change if it's ev or gas. And ev charging times are pretty quick now. Go inside, take a piss, drink a coffee and u are good to go. If u are that impatient than maybe its time to lay off tiktok for a bit.
