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.
Sorry I’ve had to rewrite this post as my other one I just noticed had copyright pictures in so must of went into the spam folder.?
Anyway I agree with you about the lack of EV’s that can carry a wheelchair or assembled scooter (my main concern along with AP cost for large EV’s) but the point about the out of order chargers is something I’ve never thought about but queues at chargers are.
To avoid the spam filter I have to say to do a Google for “Black Friday Tesla fail” and read about how folk spent hours in a queue for a quick charger. Something that is easily fixed by more charger but let’s face it, if the all wonderful super rich and environmentally friendly Californians can’t get it right what chance have we.
