    I find all this hilarious, please forgive me not because it’s funny but because although not one single issue is the same we are at week 14 of trying desperately to have a charger installed. We are in a sense lucky as the car is delayed via the semi conductor debacle, but really if EV is the way forward what idiot thought each individual would tolerate such inefficiency, expecting that the move to EV would let one accept any hurdle with happiness. We are rural and as such will massively save by using an EV but only if it’s attached to the house otherwise with the nearest charger being 22 miles away we would set off like a hamster wheel spending most of our charge mileage charging. We have learnt so much since starting and the good news is it’s happening, everything is coming together, we have changed our tariff for night time charging, but we have noticed that although everyone is watching to see how we get on, as locally we will be the pioneers, after seeing what we have had to do and they times of can we can’t we get this done. Not one person feels confident enough to follow suit. Perhaps when we start using the car far more for far less that attitude will change who knows.
