It’s not as straight forward as it looks, The petrol pump is as straight forward as it gets. Simplicity ev charging out and about it is not.
I went and filled mine up today at asda, why asda because you can pay at the drive thru kiosk. So much easier. Had 16 miles left in the tank and filled it fully up, cost just over £40 and that will do this month. Took less than 5 minutes, No hassle of charging or remembering to pickup the correct lead and put it away etc.
This covids saving me huge amounts only driven almost 3k in the car so far and had it since mid june.
The civic don’t even have a fuel cap either so thats another hassle i don’t miss over the golf or the time it will take to use a lead to add electric, plus having to use some app to get it to connect or you findout the charger you need is out of order. Till that’s all solved i will not be getting an ev, Just not as easy or straight forward at all. In fact it imo is a hassle i don’t wanna contend with, but i feel we will be forced to at some point and at that point i probally will leave the scheme and buy a 2nd hand ice car.. which is kinda stupid imo banning new ice car sales but older ice cars are allowed on the roads still. Which clearly will be worse in emissions than newer ones would be.
