Thanks for all the comments.
It is a very interesting time. We still aren’t even 100% sure about getting a home charger fitted. You’ll have noticed we live in the middle of a field and, yes, we do have a track not a road, the track does lead to a road – twisty, single track with passing places. We are used to having to plan many activities (eg: 40 mins return to get fuel) so planning to get a charge isn’t that different and there are charging points closer than that. As we can have sheep and/or cattle any home charging will have to be done at ‘appropriate’ times. We also live in rented accommodation which adds complexity as does the ‘exposed’ location.
The car has really impressed me so far and yes the boot is smaller than we are used to, but we actually got as much stuff into the boot as we did in our previous Ateca. The range on the Kona does make the difference to us, since it limits the number of occasions on which we need to re-charge. The charging network however does need some attention so it delivers what it promises. That will, I’m sure change. However, the savings we’ll make (as petrol/diesel is even more expensive here) just can’t be ignored.
