I agree that electric cars have their place for popping into Sainsbury's and general short town runs etc but they won't be replacing conventional (or hybrid) for a long time IMHO  |
Yes, you can carry spare fuel, but how many do?
Small BEVs are perfect for normal journeys, but with a bit of planning are pretty darn good for longer ones as well. The user just has to change their approach to the journey. I'd love a Tesla with a longer range, but even the Model 3 is bigger than I would want, apart from being more expensive!
I'm off to W Sussex in the beemer next week- 160 miles each way. The journey does have the advantage that the destination household have a pukka charging point, but even a UK 13a 3 pin would get the car charged up over time for the return if necessary.
