Has anyone leased an ev, but does not have a home charger or means to have one ( no driveway)

Yes, I live in a flat, so can’t have a charger, I’m also in a rural location.  I went for the Kona, range is great, 10k miles in 4 months, cost me £300 in fuel, just need to research where your local chargers are, a bit inconvenient, but I have lots more time than I have money!

@intranicity this is interesting, do you use the same local charger or do use different ones? Also which manufactures have you used at what cost if you don’t mind me asking

[Intranicity]

I use a variety of local chargers:

Free ones at Tesco, Waitrose and Aldi, plus I’ve got free charges while travelling in Leeds and Manchester (I’m in Wiltshire)

Paid usually either 50kW BP Pulse currently 23p kW and 350kW Ionity 69p kW, but I have the ChargeMyHyundai card, and pay £11.25 a month to get the Ionity price reduced to 25p kW

So far I’m paying for approx 2/3rds of my electricity, the other 1/3rd is on free charges

I live in a terrace in urban area and am really tempted to go for the Id3 77kwh? Would be good if the Eniro made an appearance as currently got the hybrid Niro and size wise it suits us, just extended as not much catching my eye? But that id3 is tempting ?

Personally, I’d look at the Kona Ultimate, lots of people here have one, so far not heard one complaint, £350 cheaper, better to drive, more economical and everything is standard

Kona is on my list to look at, I’ll see what the boot size is like
