Ah, all that stop start traffic... regen isn't perfectly efficient, but it's alot less bad for an EV than an ICE.

I used to commute 700 miles a week, which was just a smidge over a tank.

At the time there were no EVs that would have done my commute, now there are plenty, and none of them would ever need to go to a public charger - they'd just charge overnight at home.

If I was particularly conservative I might put an extension cable out of the window at the office (or get an actual charger installed in the car park - away from the building, so that it wasn't where others would choose to park).

It would have been significantly less time out of my week to charge overnight than to visit a petrol station.
