Re: Quick charging
Whilst regulations don't *require* you to take a break in a smaller vehicle... it's still sensible to do so.
Taking regular short breaks is a mechanism to reduce fatigue and increase safety, failure to do so should be considered careless driving.
BEVs are far more effective than you (who I assume is talking from a place of not having one) realise.
I have an MGZS, it (just about) fits my wheelchair and family, and is pre facelift - so "only" has a range of 174mi range (WLTP), which I normally consider to be about 140, though I have done a trip to my in-laws and back without recharging - that's a touch over 160 (I normally take a five minute "volt and bolt" to leave a little extra wiggle room, but didn't on this occasion).
But the number of times in a year we use a public charger is so small it can be counted without even resorting to toes - and a couple of those have been destination chargers, so taking exactly zero time out of our day. It makes the six hour journey to my parents about one hour longer, but *much* easier and more relaxing.
There will be a few travelling salespeople who do silly miles each and every day, but they really are very rare - and that's where something less difficult to handle (like an Al/Air pack) could really come into its own. It's not particularly efficient, but neither is H2. Compared with H2 it's trivial to handle and transport.
Or of course battery swap stations for those users - who are probably either leasing or fleet users anyway.
