If a lane ends in 2 miles and people should merge right, Many do so at the first sign. Some wait until the lane ends and they must. The ones that stay in the left lane until it ends will get to their destination faster.
Point is, auto manufacturers that make ICE vehicles still have several years to stay in the fast lane.

Problem is that the left lane has a brick wall at the end...

More EV fun. Now you may not be able to get a full charge.
I would imagine this is what a lot of people do to begin with when charging from public source. As the battery charge increases the rate slows. Something along the lines of the last 20% taking as long as the first 80%.

Yes, just like charging your cordless tool batteries.

You don't need much charging for the ave auto use per day of ~40 miles...
13,500 miles /365 days = 37 miles per day....
37/4 Kwh =10Kwh or .72 hr or 44 Minutes at 7.2 Kwh home 240v charger...
Covers over 95% of all driving.... 7,200 Kwh x 8 hours = 57 Kwh if needed overnight...
Can you fuel your car at home??? While you sleep??? At off peak rates???
