Solent I try to give informed honest opinions and try not to generalise too much, although that can be difficult. Running an electric car won’t be the same for everyone, if you have a home charger then great, if not you need to look at the charging facilities near you. I have a drive so I could charge at home, but there are also 4 chargers within 2 miles. So the infrastructure might not be great for everyone but decisions need to be based on an individual basis.
That was my point exactly in my post above ; many drivers will be put off EV’s – at this moment in time – because the infrastructure isn’t there. Neither will it be there for some time yet. If you don’t have a driveway, then there’s no point – yet – in obtaining a electric vehicle… not unless you want to drive a few miles to a charge point, grab a coffee/go shopping for 45-minutes while it recharges, and then drive back home again. That’s assuming (of course) that when you get to the charge point – loads of other EV drivers don’t all have the same idea at the same time!
I appreciate the ever-increasing popularity of EV’s and fully understand that, one day, we’ll all be driving them. But at this exact moment in time – a lot needs to happen in order to tempt us to switch to electric – especially if you have to park in the street/on the road. It just isn’t viable.
