    As an electric car driver, I would not recommend having one without a home charging point and a cheap overnight tariff.

    Relying on public charging points would be, in my opinion, quite stressful, not to mention expensive.

    We’re on holiday at the moment and I stopped at a Tesla Supercharging station for a top up charge, from about 40% to 90%. The cost was £17.25. This added about 120 miles. By my calculations, this is very similar to what a petrol car doing 40/42 mpg would cost for the same distance.

    At home I can do a similar charge for around £3!!

    Bear in mind that the Tesla chargers cost less than the other big names and you can see my point.

    I would recommend going Full Hybrid in your circumstances.
