I’m on my 2nd, both nissan Leafs. Got the first in June 2014, a 24kWh just to use for work, shops etc. It was so good we used it for almost everything and I ended up doing 40k in it.
Then in June 2017 I got a 30kWh which I’ve managed to do 20k a year in and I’ve extended my lease for another 2 years cause there’s nothing that can touch it for me. I frequently go long runs, out all day covering several hundred miles (longest day was 567 miles) just because I can and because it’s so nice to drive. I am used to charging away from home so it’s no big deal for me as its second nature now.
Now ignore all the moaners who say but I need 900 mile range and to fully charge in a nano second once a month… and to be able to tow 5 tons… they are selfish idiots who will never be convinced. If however you frequently travel a lot in a single day… eg 200+ miles (and to a timescale?), who tows a boat/caravan etc then maybe the current crop of BEVs isn’t for you so save time and just move on ?. If you rarely travel over 150 miles on one trip or do frequent short trips then an EV is perfect, it’s also great if you work shifts cause you don’t waken the neighbours ?
Having home charging is a huge bonus but not essential, it just makes living with one more of a commitment, especially if you live in England with the dogs breakfast that is the current charging infrastructure where too many different suppliers are popping up with different ways of paying ?♂️
If your lifestyle is suitable then 100% get an EV, not only are they nicer to drive and cheaper to run but you’re doing a bit to help the planet. I can start every day with a full tank, never have to visit a petrol station (handy if you have difficulty using them), can take advantage of cheap electricity overnight or solar through the day, can have my car warm and defrosted in winter or cooling down in summer, I don’t waste fuel sitting in traffic or defrosting it, I can travel the length of the country although it may take a little longer than in an ICE, I get the equivalent of 180mpg ?
Also the reason I extended my lease instead of getting a 40kWh leaf or the MG ZS EV is that my leaf can do everything I need and there’s no financial advantage in paying out over a grand for no real gain… the only things I’d like in mines is adaptive cruise control and a second USB point (first world problems eh?)
