This I really dont understand. Petrol so cheap and they carry a huge genset already in the engine bay.

Actually why not? Their cars are capable of plugging in and it's "good for the environment" when they run on EV mode as much as they can. Just because they have an engine then they are not allowed to charge at public chargers?

I mean if the chargers are empty thats ok. But die die need charge till 100% when there's a dongfeng/byd/emat7 waiting isn't very civil. PHEV charging speed is slow also.
(40kW J.ko j7 phev vs 88kW emas7 spec kosong)

It might not be considerate or nice, but it's their right.

And then there are people calling to stop EV charge at 80%. That's being selfish as well. For all we know, that person might not have time to charge regularly or may be preparing for a long road trip and wants to have max charge available. Also LFP needs full charge every now and then to calibrate.

Maybe you're not familiar but charging time for 80-100% will take more time than 20-80%. This is where the issues lies, it's better to stop at 80% and recharge at the next stop.
Many does have the same thinking as yours but I'm glad many CPO have taken notice and hard stop their chargers at 80% to reduce such behaviour during peak season.

Regarding LFP full charge for calibration, you need AC Charging, not DC. It take roughly 1-1.5 hours just for calibration. You'll get charged for idling too if do this at public charger.

I do know about the charging time difference. Again, chargers may not be available where they are headed. But yeah, I don't own an EV so views of either side doesn't affect me.

Thanks for info on the LFP calibration. Always thought it was SOC dependent and doesn't matter how you charge as long as it hits 100 for a period.
