    Hello Fiesta red.

    Preface. I’ve swapped, early, my EV for a full hybrid.Corsa EV. Clio hybrid. Different sizes. Ok.

    EV charging at home for us with Economy 7. Excellent.

    Problems: Here in Cornwall infrastructure is patchy ( being kind here,) 220 range in winter was half that with lights and wipers . Charging at public spaces was a poor experience. Expensive. Chargers often dead. Horrid.

    Swapped. Full hybrid. Self charging.

    Done 1020 miles.

    632 on electric only. And I live 5 miles from nearest town ( Pz or St Ives). Average mpg currently 62.1

    So geographic isolation is not helpful with an EV…even with a PodPoint charger on the wall.

    I’ll return to an EV when the range advertised is true and legally binding within 10  % or so.

    Best wishes. We’re all different with different views. But I’m right ?
