    I think it’s easy to look at current EV’s and think they don’t work for you as in many cases they don’t.
    However, in 10 years time I think driving an EV will make sense for a huge amount more people than it does now.
    Range, charging time, ease of charging, price, off street parking will all get improved or worked out.
    We don’t know how all of these problems will be solved as the technology hasn’t been developed yet but I think it will.

    I also don’t think that the numbers of people “priced out” of driving will be anywhere near as high as some predict. I can’t see car manufacturers wanting to lose all of these customers and they’ll know where to price their cars to get the amount of sales that they need.

    I listened to a Norwegian guy on tv saying that in Norway you really have to make a case for going ICE as it doesn’t really make sense now. A lot of it came down to running cost I think. A huge percentage of their new cars are EV and this will happen in the UK at some point.
