If you don’t have a driveway, I guess you cannot pre heat the car, I have a trick it’s warm water from the tap in a plastic bag, great at de-icing, especally for me as i have bad shoulders and i cannot do that scraping.
It’s north yorkshire i go to he he.. I don’t think my daughter after school will thank me for the time spent waiting for a charge to get home back to notts and i already leave 2 hrs before i due to pick her up we get back to the midlands about 5pm ish. So its 3 hrs at least constant driving, there and back, mainly motorway and of course the parts of the a1 that is not motorway still..
So until a cars on the scheme that can deffo do that trip. It’s just a non starter and is why i asked. As for the kids they are the future so someone has to have them or we will be all extinct.
