    I think that BEV comment needs qualifying. Plenty of people have BEVs who don’t have their own off road charging. What what be more accurate us to say I wouldnt go BEV unless you have a charging strategy that could be:

    Neighbours house (zap map now have list available chargers at people’s homes)

    Nearby chargers in local bays/car parks

    Charging at work

    And more. There’s more to charging than having your own charge point although how whether that is suitable for one is up to the individual concerned but not bring able to charge at home us certainly not a deal breaker.

    Some people even throw a granny charger across the pavement then put commercial grade cable safety covers over them to protect the public altho I wouldn’t like to do that personally.

    Say you got a Kona that’s easily 250 miles before you need to charge for many people that’s a top up charge once or twice a week which you could do at your local supermarket whilst you shop & job done.

    Changing to BEV is about a total change in approach to fueling, instead of driving until empty & refill like dinopop it’s more convenient to topup whenever you can that 40 mins at Tesco adds up (esp as it’s free)
