I’ve had my EV for nearly four years now (a BMW i3s). It’s got a low range (180 miles) and not a very fast charge (50kw).
I was quite anxious before my first long distance journey. We have to go from Surrey to Northumberland twice a year, and as we can’t charge at our destination we have to use the public chargers.
Four years ago it really wasn’t a problem, and now? It’s an absolute breeze.
First thing you have to try, is to use a public rapid charger. You’ll then wonder what the fuss was all about.
And honestly, at some point in your ownership you’ll have to use public charging, so just find a nearby rapid charger (Instavolt, Osprey, Gridserve, Applegreen are all excellent) and just try it.
