The eGolf is actually rather slow to charge by EV standards, because it uses a combined fast charger that isn't actually all that fast. A Leaf will charge to 80% in half an hour, and when doing long distances you typically end up stopping for about 20 minutes (since you never run right down to zero) every hour and half or so. It's actually fine if, like me, you prefer to have a little break at that kind of interval for water and bathroom facilities.
Half hour for 80% seems to be the sweet spot, and is what Tesla have gone for as well. Beyond 80% the speed of charging rapidly drops off due to the way the batteries work, so EV route planners take that into account and make sure your charging is in the optimum 20-80% range.
The real issue is what happens if the rapid charger isn't work for some reason. It's getting more and more rare, but until there is more infrastructure it won't go away as a concern. Something needs to be done about plug-in hybrids and crap EVs that take too long to charge as well (I'm looking at you Tesla) because hogging a rapid charger for more than 30 minutes is bad form. Other people need them, and if you can carry on without using one (PHEV) or your car takes forever to charge (Teslas are slow with adapters for anything other than dedicated Tesla chargers) you need to be considerate.
