So going from 20-80% is a 60% increase in charge, so if you have an EV with say a 150 mile range towing a caravan, you're arrival at the services, unhitching, drive to the charge points, assuming there is no queue, 20 mins charging, if it works and it's a super fast job, go back and hitch up, will get you a further 90 miles at best. I think I'd rather be towing with my old 6 litre Jag, even that would manage 250 miles to a tank and could be refilled in less than 7 minutes at any petrol station.

Hence why I noted it’s easier abroad. Stopping for a 20 minute break every couple of hours is not a bad thing but unhitching does make that more frustrating.
But it’s the negative side to me doing 22k miles a year and only having to hit a forecourt a dozen times
