There are many happy use cases for an electric car in the UK, but most of them involve never planning to charge en route. e.g. my family's main car is a 24kWh Leaf, and did 10,000 miles a year (pre pandemic) without leaving our city's outer ring road.
- noneeeed 6y agoYeah. I definitely want to get an electric at some point, but at the moment it's not practical for us (mostly the lack of off-street parking where we live). If we could charge up at home I think we'd only ever need to charge on route about three or four times a year, when going on holiday. If the car rental industry was a bit more consumer friendly (they seem mostly designed around business use), renting for the holidays would be very appealing. It will be interesting to see if campsites will let you charge up from their electric hookups. I can see that being a thing in the future.
