    i know its human nature with anything new to rail against it.

    but people seriously need to get a grip about ev’s, yes they are not yet perfect and the infrastructure needs serious investment. but it only needs a little common sense and a little more planning than with an ice for most day to day journies to be done in an ev.

    i could with a little forethought use an ev now, even though i cant have a charger at my current home.

    within 4 miles there are half a dozen charges that it wouldnt be difficult to build into my schedule to use to fill up longer journies obviously would need a bit more thought.

    but basically i would need to go to a charger for a full charge no more than once a week.

    realistically i would probably split that into 2 visits. theres a choice of places to wait out the charge where i could set up my laptop and work while i wait. conveniantly the charges are outside a harvester pub,a hotel and near a kfc and starbucks so spoilt for choice.

    so providing the ev has a range that can cover your daily commute for work i dont think its that hard.

    as julie points out the person doing this reveiw has loaded the dice so to speak by making sure it uses the slowest chargers at the worst time in its batteries life etc etc.
