It's a different way of travelling. With an ICE I would pull into an ugly service station, buy fuel and shit food/drink, go to a disgusting toilet and then get straight back on the road. No smelling of flowers.

Now it's the interesting, funky cafe's/restaurants along the route that are adding fast chargers. I pull in there, have a nice coffee or meal, and then continue on my way.

It's a much more pleasant way to do a trip. More chilled. More 'touching the grass'.
