Sounds familiar. An european EV with a claimed range of 400km in the winter required a total of 3h30min charging time on a trip of 600km. Real range was about 350km, in the winter less than 300km (heating the cabin and having the thermal pump on full speed to prevent the windows from freezing). Battery did not receive charge with claimed charging speed although it was preheated.

It took 11 hours for EV to finish the trip that takes a bit less than 7 hours on a gas car, two families travelling the same trip with different cars, lunch and coffee break included. And return trip will take even longer due to charging the EV is not an option in the destination.

With bad luck it takes 13 hours on return if charging stations are occupied after christmas when everyone are traveling back after the holidays, you only need one charging station to be occupied.

Don’t know if it is an european phenomenom, but all the european countries seem to deal with the same problem considering nurses. The pay is ridiculous, workload is massive, every country is competing against each other hiring nurses abroad, but when the pay is what it is, people end up leaving sooner than later somewhere else. There is no future with declining workforce and increasing workload. The problems could be solved by paying sufficiently, but that never ever happens. Non-europeans stay until they become RN in europe, then they leave and I would do exactly the same if I were them. Considering that one should care for the patients best,things are not really looking good.
