Had a Corsa EV for 16 months. All 4 seasons. PodPoint charger at home.
Context: We live near St Ives Cornwall. The infrastructure for BEVs is poor. Exeter is 110 miles and yet, in winter ( without heating on, in Eco mode and keeping below 51mph) our 220 miles range car had 32 left.
The only reasonable service station with rapid charging is on Bodmin at Cornwall Services ( Gridserve). Every time…. every time we had to try three or four chargers and then call the very helpful people at Gridserve.
In the cold January night a two hour journey took almost 5 hours each time.
So perhaps the major issue for me is geographic. Also the advertised max range is a fictional figure.
MB agreed and I have ordered a full hybrid.
London to see family? No chance.
Bristol? Wouldn’t bother.
Personal experience and location issues.
But a great car as long as I don’t want to go more than 50 miles from home ( 100 round trip. More than this and the infrastructure is currently inadequate. )
Cheers.
