On: UK to ban sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030: FT

True. I checked a better route planner, a great app to plan electric vehicles trips, and driving from Brighton to Glasgow today in 2020 is 7h10m of driving and 36m of charging with a tesla model 3. Let's round up to 1h of charging. I don't think it is a problem today, and even less in 10 years with better cars and a bigger charging network. Sure you may lose some time because you will have slightly longer breaks, but it's fine in my opinion and don't forget that electricity is cheaper than gaz (unless you charge to 100% on Ionity without using a car from a Ionity constructor).

Unless you've got two drivers, a 7 hour trip likely requires more than a 35 minute stop to eat, and rest anyway.

Is that under the assumption that it's a warm day?

It was with 10°C. I put -10°C and it takes 8 minutes longer according to the app.
