    Well those people who didn’t know where the charging points are must be newbies who do absolutely no research at all… normally I’d use stronger language but I’ll stick to calling them idiots for now because not only does the car show you where they are but there’s a load of apps (that you check before setting off) Also if your farm has an electricity supply, just use the 3 pin plug

    They seem to be ‘townies’ who think there is a charging point on every street corner!

    They seem to forget that out here in the dales, things such as charging points are very few and far between and not every town they pass through has one. So, they press on hoping to reach the next town and so on.  With no mobile or 2/3/4/5g signals they are totally stumped!

    When they blithely follow sat-nav it sends them down unmade roads clearly signed ‘not suitable for motor vehicles’ which is how they often end up on foot at our farm houses and someone has to go out and tow their car out with one of the tractors or the snow-cat in winter.

    I really cannot believe the stupidity of some of them!
