Yes I am that EV enthusiast, but like many have said, if I couldn’t charge at home I wouldn’t entertain it.
I am on my second EV but before that I had a Toyota Prius PHEV and it was great.
So maybe the halfway house of a PHEV is the sweet spot for you – I cannot pretend to have done any in depth research recently but I understand many now can do in access of 40 miles on battery before the engine cuts in.
I often went on journeys in access of 200 miles and would charge the battery from the engine on the motorway to have a full battery for towns and villages that made driving easier and smoother – this way you would have the convenience of EV power and the backup and flexibility of an engine.
Like I say I haven’t done any recent research of options and costs of PHEVs on the scheme – but maybe worth a look – good luck and a happy new year to all.
