No chargers in or west of Exeter!To go to Exeter and back is 220 miles according to manufacturers figures it has a range of 214 miles combined , so in real world driving up all the hills we have doubt it would 150 miles , I have a number of customers that have electric cars several have Tesla s that cost over 100 k and the range is appalling although they are very rapid , charging points are non existent I know of 4 in our area and 3 of theses haven’t worked for well over a year , one is in a pub car park and you have to use the pub to be able to charge the car and it costs £10 per hours charge , the other is in my local Tesco car park again you have to go shopping to use it again what’s the point putting it on charge for 15-30 muinits whilst shopping, the amount of charge is minimal in that time . Again there is only one charging point in a car park that regularly has at least 200+ cars in it in the summer there is at least double that number , Ime not against theses cars but just saying they arnt suitable for distance travel , ok if you want to just go shopping a couple of miles down the road , but traveling a few hundred miles totally impractical, therecwill need to be hundreds of millions spent on infrastructure to make this work , then how will we produce more electric to charge all there vehicles ?. It’s all Ill thought out .
It’s not my place to argue why you could go electric if you want to. But if you do want to change over then you may find it’s doable. Every one runs their business differently and I can only say that I wanted to make it work for me, made a few minor changes and, five years on, would never willingly go back to ICE.
