    Lots of charging points Sue, interestingly my nearest fuel station to me is 20min drive. Ev chargers 5 mins (+2 at my house). I do agree home charging is not available to all. https://www.vehicle-partners.co.uk/news/there-are-now-more-charging-locations-than-petrol-stations#:~:text=That%20means%20that%20there%20are,there%20are%20traditional%20fuel%20stations.

     

    Maybe in your area but not in mine, nearest charge point is a 10 minute drive, nearest pump is a similar distance but we have so many more pumps than points.

    We have two public charge points for 3ok people, far more in the summer. The ability to home charge is an essential here at present to own an EV.

    I would love to have an EV, however it would take a substantial outlay (having a driveway put in) to even think of getting one as I don’t have the access nor the time to use a public one. It also worries me when we go away, the static caravan site we go to doesn’t have any chargers and a similar number of public chargers as us in the next nearest town.

    EV’s are great if you can home charge, if you can’t, they are just a pipe dream or very inconvenient.
