I saw both of the road trip videos a few days ago, and also a couple of follow up videos discussing the ramifications of the trip. It was upsetting to see the huge amount of stress and even tears involved in a two day journey.
‘Geoff’ lives locally here in Worcestershire and he is typically ‘down to earth’ with his opinions. ‘MacMaster’ lives in Nottinghamshire. Both are enthusiastic car reviewers but the road trip you mentioned shook them up a bit.
Geoff in particular seems convinced that the government is trying to control motorists use of vehicles with the introduction of EV’s, while deliberately failing to provide the necessary charging infrastructure. He can get quite ‘rabid’ on the subject.
Both MacMaster and Geoff are agreed on the fact that while EV’s can be great cars, the nationwide charging situation is pathetic, or in their words “absolute Sh*t !!!!!!
If you need to make regular longer journeys including charging stops, then even with careful planning you can easily come unstuck. Local use should be far less problematic.
I think we have to weigh up our own specific requirements very carefully.
