    @BigDave – Sounds like hard but rewarding work. I support the local farm shop, really enjoy Belty beef.

    – Meet Andrew Ditton. The change is coming, like it or not.

    • It is still cheaper to public charge than paying for diesel, on average
    • You don’t stop to charge, you stop for lunch/comfort break and charge at the same time
    • Wales does have rapid charge points but admittedly could use more (I have a trip planned)
    • Campsites will have EV charge points soon. Certainly some of the club ones already do
    • No car gets the same MPG in winter
    • Ask work to install EV chargers – might be of use for you
    • There are over 1,000,000 full EV cars on our roads alone
    • The Skoda Enyaq, VW ID4, Toyota Bz4x and more might suit you?
    • I have never had a problem with public charging and availability. Over 32,000 charge locations now.

    Don’t confuse anti-EV rhetoric with reality and be prepared to change your mindset. Do this and you may find it easier than you imagine, it is only getting better.

    I will admit, if you are towing, it is problematic at a lot of public chargers. Although I know FastNed have a towing lane for charging whilst hooked up so I hope others will also have them or introduce them. Would I get an EV without home charging? I think I would.

    Meanwhile, enjoy the Tucson!

    Resistance is futile!
