I agree with everything you have said fwippers – as you say horses for courses.
I have yet to do my longest route – 250 miles – but that will involve charging at destination and although I could charge at my sons house it would be 3 pin and slow – but certainly doable if required. So I have yet to do this and acquire the confidence of no problems.
My overall average since getting the car in late July has now dropped from 5.2 to 5.0 – if it is 4.5 or more by end of March I will be happy – time will tell.
