with out a home charger I would suggest a car with 22kw onboard simply because most pod points are 22kw, in our nipping to the supermarket and grabbing a quick thing in and out in 18 mins I will plug-in in as pod points are first 15 mins free so I return with about 10 miles more range than I left with. For free
The local Pod Points to me are all 7.4kW chargers. However, if one is close to you, the time saved might make the extra cost worth it. It’s also worth noting that a lot of non rapid chargers in Europe are 22kW over the 7kW here. Did anyone see the BBC Panorama 30 minutes piece on EVs the other day? Has it swayed the undecided in any direction?
Watching Panorama definitely put me off, an example I uploaded payment to our EV Online APP, they use Rolec EV chargers, over the past 18 months I have only managed to charge once, every other time the chargers are off line. Again I have uploaded payment to our Podpoint APP, the cheapest I can find is Tesco 7 kWh charger at 44 pence a kWh, it is more cost effective to use the ICE to power or charge up the PHEV.
EV chargers in our area are quite scarce, the majority are offline.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
