    Although I don’t claim to understand all of the last dozen or so posts, they do rather confirm my view that, at present, running an EV (if you do long journeys) is very complicated and sounds a right faff, having to forward think and forward plan journeys and/or make stops when and where I wouldn’t want to. Fine for the first few months when it’s all new and fancy, but I think the novelty of that would wear off very quickly and rapidly turn into a right pain in the derrière. I’d also have to invest in a scientific calculator to fathom all those complex kw calculations!

    I was very interested to read about the new technologies that might, in time, eradicate the current limitations of EV’s but, for now, I find a 5 minute stop at a petrol station once every 3 weeks hassle enough. I realise that I am paying more for the privilege of that ultimate convenience, but the only figure that I need look at is the price per litre, which I can cope with ?
