Apart from the time it takes him to recharge if the charging points are all being used he has to wait. He does have his own charging point on his house.

Hi Grunter,
I do not recommend that anyone get an electric vehicle unless they have charging at home (ideally solar) or access to FREE charging from the Tesla network.
I have run a research group in the UK (Wales) for last 4 years and one of my engineers bought a Model Y recently. He's very happy with it.
Unfortunately UK does not allow auto drive 
At least you guys have installed a good Hindu at Downing Street. If you cant get your electricity rates sorted out, let me know and I'll call up Rishi and bitch at him in Hindi

The way forward is the increased use of hydrogen which to all intents and purposes inexhaustible. with the only waste product being water!

Hi Grunter,
The Toyota Mirai runs on hydrogen using a fuel cell technology and yes only pure water comes out of the tail pipe.
I drove the vehicle and loved it. I would not recommend this vehicle to anybody because there is no hydrogen distribution network that is viable and it is too expensive to setup a network.
Tesla has solved this problem with a wide electricity charging network.
By the way I have patents in the field of fuel cells (and an IPO with Bloom Energy). I would have loved the Toyota Mirai to be a commercial success but it is not happeing in my lifetiime. Toyota has now reversed course and is launching electric vehicles.
