If you're interested in electric cars or hybrids, you'll find this video educational, even if you just watch a part of it. The most surprising thing to me is just how many charging stations there are and how the idea that EV's take a long time to charge is mostly a myth. Modern charging stations can take as little as 20-30 minutes to charge to 90%. With lithium batteries the last 10% can take as long to charge as the entire 90% before it.

Most EV users mostly charge at home for slow charging and other slow charging stations are usually used just for topping up their batteries not charging from empty. And most car users, unless you're a commuter, don't go that far in a day so don't need to charge until they're home and charge overnight. The tech has changed a lot in the last decade. Also this guy is good to subscribe to you if you're interested in classic 8-bit computing because that's what his main focus is.
