It can be done and be cheaper than running an equivalent sized petrol car, my son has been EV only since 2023, he lives in a flat in Dundee & charges at Tesla, initially with a subscription & an MG ZS, bringing the off-peak cost to charge to 39p per kw. He then bought a Model 3 Long Range, so gets a cheaper rate on Tesla without the £10 a month subscription fee. He loves his EV’s and wont go back to petrol.
Equally, my father-in-law has a BYD Atto 3, also in a flat in Dundee with no chance of a home charger. He’s had it 2 years, does a fair mileage as he volunteers to take the elderly & infirm to their appointments. He loves the car, but will go back to a self charging hybrid when his Motability lease ends as he doesnt like charging it.
It depends on your use case, if you are city driving with the odd longer trip it should be no real bother, 30-40 minutes at a charger once a week would usually be enough.
I spent the first 4500 miles with my first EV, a Kia Soul, charging away from home, doing a lot of miles, so charged 2-3 times a week. It was free back then (yup, free electricity….) so it was just a case of browse the web or read a book or go for a walk. I didn’t find it a chore nor too much hassle, having said that, charging at home is a lot easier even though my Ioniq 5 will fill 10 to 80% in 18 minutes on a decent charger.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
