A very interesting and informative read, especially around the charging capacities and types, I must admit I had been completely confused by them too.
However, it has made it clear to me and confirmed that a plug in vehicle is not at all suitable or workable for me. We just don’t have the infrastructure locally, I cannot charge from home and when I go on trips, I don’t want to be mucking about having to divert because chargers are not available/not working at my planned stop.
I only have limited energy and the last thing I would want/need to be doing is to be driving around to the next available charge point a few miles away from my planned stop and to do so, would put the whole trip at risk. Too many of those diversions and I would have to abort and return home or fork out for a place to rest. For current trips, I don’t have to worry about refuelling the car on the way, just that the place I stop has drinks and a loo available, not all charge points have loos and refreshments available and not all tea and wee places have charge points (well certainly not on my usual trips anyway)
For the moment, I will have to wait until I am in a suitable property with a driveway and the infrastructure/battery strength has improved.
