Just to add a little weight to my fairly flippant 20 sec charge post. It’s actually true and costs the price of a premium chocolate bar. I use my car like a mobile phone, drive it, recharge overnight.
Not sure a petrol station is as cheap and quick. Of course the car is not available immediately whilst charging but being devil’s advocate how often do you travel +200 miles in one day, and then immediately do another 200 miles? 1 in 100 trips? Not sure this makes EVs unfit for purpose especially with fuel savings….
I’ve ordered an Ev outside of the scheme that charges from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes (providing you use a 350kw charger…..not too many of them about tho).
The current Ev we have has now done 57000 miles from new which I’m sure you will agree is above average miles. Despite the mileage charging is very rarely an issue.
It amazes me that the range question continues to be at the forefront of non Ev drivers minds, when was this ever even a consideration, yet the ease of driving, cost to run, benefits to the environment are rarely mentioned all of which for me are much more important than the importance of a very infrequent trip to the moon via Mars.
