Meanwhile the fastest charger in my city is ~50kW and is often out of order, so you have to go even slower because most others are 25kW... And it's not better anywhere near, half hour drive gets me to no better chargers. This lack of infrastructre where I live is one of the reasons I still don't have bev (also price).
We can now get cheap 22kW chargers for home use. But yes electric cars are still expensive, we are hoping 2nd hand EV will drop in price quickly, because there are always new better cars coming out. Here you can almost buy a house for what a new EV with good range cost.
Here it cost extra to use fast chargers, but we have from 50 to 300 kW. But already at 100 kW it's already more than twice the normal cost of electricity.
We have solar panels, so we would really really like an EV? That's free charging half the year. ๐
