I would make the argument if you genuinely can’t make an EV work. If you can’t have a home charger you could argue that you’d be too worried about charging because there are next to no or few disabled access charging places. For some disabled drivers public eV charging could be a real nightmare.
Charging isn’t much of an issue tbh, we have a driveway and our home is housing association so I’m pretty sure they’d be fine with a charger being installed. We have a gridserve (£££) a few miles away and a couple of chargers at a BP (££££) a couple of miles the other way if we need them. I’m a bit more on board with the idea of the EV, even though petrol and diesel are way more convenient and i much prefer them, I need to save some money and if I can make any savings with charging over refuelling then that works out great, though I’m also wary of home charging being inadequate/not cost effective but I think OVO have some sort of tariff that would be suitable and not a total wallet drainer.
Wife is resistant to change in general (she is somewhat Autistic) whereas I’m a bit more open to change with the right information available (ADHD/possible Autism too).
So I don’t really mind so long as we’re not giving up her mobility PIP money on something she has little choice over but is somewhat forced to accept because of restrictive grant terms.
Being told by foundation when enquiring that her comfort was “more of a want” and “not something we really consider” was another line that’s stuck with me.
