This has highlighted why I will never have an EV or a plug in hybrid. I’m a wheelchair user the system isn’t set up for wheelchair users heavy cables parking spaces not wide enough. Where the cables are they have curbs around them so can’t reach easily. You would think in this day and age disability would be a thought but still obviously not even a second thought as usual. I couldn’t deal with the low range and constant worry and planning I have to plan enough as it is at times.
Without knowing your circumstances I couldn’t say whether you’d be able to cope with an EV and the cables but please don’t post nonsense about low range and charger layouts when you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about 🤦♂️
I’m a wheelchair user that’s been driving an EV for 10 years, this year I went from Scotland to Brighton one week then Durness the next, currently heading to Harrogate for a few days. I’ve done 7k in under 3 months so not bad for having “low range”
Yes charger layouts can always get better but now most hubs have specific disabled bays so a bit more than “not even a second thought”
EVs & charging for wheelchair users isn’t perfect but then neither are lots of other things… petrol pumps to fill up your ICE for example 🤔 (my other car is a diesel ⛽️so I know) or shopping, we’ve just been into York and the number of shops with steps at the door is significant but that’s not a reason to avoid the place?
What you should have said is you won’t have an EV because you doubt you’ll be able to cope with the charging process
