Now do the sums where you only refill the ICE car at motorway services (the dearest cause that’s what you’ve done with the Ioniq) and recharge your EV at home (between 7p to 24p depending on your tariff?) I happily drive my EV from Glasgow to the NEC Birmingham and if I need to recharge use Ionity (43p) or Tesla (40p), both with a £10 monthly subscription.
I totally get that, I was just shocked at gap.
I’ve never filled up on a motorway but never had to because a 500 mile range allows it. With a 300 mile range I should still be able to manage.
Out of interest, do you know the Ionity & Tesla rates without subscription or what discount is? If it’s around 20p then £10 subscription means anything over 50kwh and it’s paid for itself.
Just watched a YouTube video and approx break even point is 45p / kwh if petrol is around £1.40.
I’m confident I’d be better off as estimate ¾ of charging will be at home at 7p.
The guy in video refers to “destination chargers” usually around 40p and charge at around 30kw. So under 2 hours for a 20 – 80 charge. It takes my misses longer than that to have a pee, coffee then another pee 😫
