Very helpful and informative post, even for a Derv luddite like me. Car looks very nice, particularly in that colour, Maybe in 4 years time I’ll be ready for an electric vehicle and hopefully the charging infrastructure in the far north of England will be in place.
As long as you can have a home charger then you’ll find that the infrastructure is already in place, but the current worry in the area is the single rapid charger at any one site, once the twin chargers start appearing you’ll worry less about turning up to a charger & finding it not working with no close alternative. Zap-Map can already alleviate such worries to some extent now. The as yet unmentioned problem though is the availability of EVs that can carry a wheelchair, they are just starting to appear on Motability but it’ll be another year at a guess before there’ll be anything with enough range.
Yep the wheelchair/scooter capacity is one big downer but the problem of a charging stations being out of order would be less of a worry than this…
