I guarantee you the person that was tasked with building the system knew this was unacceptable and was told to get on with it by laters of middle management.

Something trucking has, that non-trucking does not, is enforced rest stops and breaks.

If you don’t sit in a random layby, you rest at a charging point, the “waiting around” to charge isn’t a detriment. Because as a trucker you have to sit around and wait for <x> amount of time anyway.

*I can’t be arsed getting into arguments and different countries and their waiting times. I just know around europe mandatory rests are necessary.
