Of course there are a lot more petrol nozzles than chargers though!

You make many good points in your lengthy inputs.....however this isn't one of them
Not only are there a lot more nozzles than chargers, even if the chargers were the high-powered 50Kwh ones Mike quoted, a recharge takes about 30 mins, according to Mike, whereas putting 300 miles worth of petrol/diesel into a car takes maybe 3 minutes.....So you'd need up to 10 times more chargers than nozzles if we reached equivalency in electric v fossil-fuelled, surely - although I accept that a proportion of owners can recharge at home, though I suspect the cost of installing a 3-phase set-up like Mike's isn't insubstantial.
Several people have commented that they have Leafs ( Leaves?
) on PCP deals. I was talking to a Zoe owner a while ago who had bought his second-hand (at a very good price for him, but horrendous depreciation from new), and he was paying IIRC about £80/month as battery rental - which he felt was good as he'd had to have a replacement battery pack under the scheme. I don't know if this arrangement is the norm?
