I’ve had 15cm of snow, -9 temps, pretty much the worst type of winter weather here, my problems, well, the big one was our driveway, its a steep slope, getting out was a big issue on std tyres, so could not go back down it, the issue? well, in an ICE, no issue, park nearby and walk home. In the EV? despite charging to 100% I needed a charge 2 days later and could not plug in at home.
Car itself was a nightmare on the roads during peak snow on Tuesday, wife was stuck at her work and so I had to get there, worst handling in the snow ever, which is primarily the tyres again, not just because of summer tyres, but also worn, 35,000 miles old and really need changing (Kwik Fit said no back in late November). Managed uphill by turning off traction control. The 30 mile journey took 2.5 hours, but at least we all got home.
I’ve just got back from a public Chargeplace Scotland charger, charged no problem, bit slower due to cold, the 50kw unit was delivering 40kw. Cost for 10-45% (102 miles) was £12 (council charger, 41p per kw).
Only saw one other EV whilst driving about over the last 4 days, an MG4 yesterday. Really noticed the total absence of Teslas on the A90 over the past 4 days.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
