I am another not if you can’t charge at home vote…
125 miles a week means 7-8 day charge cycles in winter for the cars you’ve chosen. 64kw in the Countryman is about 180-200 miles in winter, thats charging to 100%. Maybe a bit less if open road, bit more if town based. Aircross would be even worse as Stellantis just don’t seem to get a grip on excessive winter consumption & EV database lists cold weather range as 150miles, so 10% to 90% would only give you a weeks driving. Also, as others have said, short trips in the cold can use more because you need to heat the cabin each time – especially bad are several short trips over a day, you may do 15 miles but lose 30 miles of range.
My son does not have a home charger, he has a Tesla and as such gets to charge off peak at 36p. He also uses that time to do some work on his laptop which his work allows as a part of his working day, so its not lost time for him. I know he changed his car to a Tesla once he moved job and no longer had workplace charging for his 45kw ZS EV, it just needed plugged in too much/was slow to charge compared to his 75kw Model 3. He loves it and has no plans to go back to petrol.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
