My honest view Mark @MFillingham is if you can’t charge at home, it become more of a faf especially as we get older to rely soley on public chargers. This is especially true if your feeling down for a week, but not yet got round to charging, only to worry how your going to get the doctors or hospital appoinment. Of course this is not an issue if you can charge at home.
Equally @mitch has said previously, he gets 60mpg from his Juke Hybrid, which works out at 9.6p per mile, I can’t see any public chargers being that cheap. Tesco for example charges 40p kWh for it’s 22kW chargers. At an average of 3.5 miles kWh , thats costing just under 11.5p a mile, with the hastle of charging away from home.
It would be a totally different outcome if the council allowed permission for a driveway and mitch could apply for a DFG or Forces grant, then your looking at as little, as 2p amile.
