Back in 2016 I took my second EV. This time it was Nissan Leaf 2nd generation.
For months, until home wall charger was installed, I had to use a public charging point. It was free back then. But took an hour to charge.
Nowadays, despite what people will tell you, if you want to charge all the way to 90% from 10% you will still have to wait at least 30 minutes for a battery of 70kw and over. Do you have time to travel, to be lucky to find a free charging point and then wait?
The other thing is the price. At home you can charge for circa £.027, but public charges even with paying subscription you will have to pay 10 (!) times more. So my question why would you go EV if it will cost you more money to charge and more time to waste?
