Still not buying an EV - for example, my youngest step-daughter (who works for EDF on the new Nuclear Power Plant near Bridgewater), visited yesterday, to pick up the wife to go to a ballet performance in Birmingham. She departed Bristol with a fully charged car, drove to Worcester (approx 65 miles) and even then she had to start planning and booking a parking space in Birmingham in which to park and charge for the return journey.
At no point did she get told how much the charging would cost - and we think the price of proper fuel is highway robbery.
The world needs to have choices in order to develop, and not have something foisted upon us with no other options.
I laugh, as when I was in Cyprus this year, the subject of EV's came up and they are not selling well at all on the island - the main reason is there are only 6 (six) charging points in the whole of the island (north and south). From where we were staying it was a two hr drive to get to a charger! And don't even mention Electric aircraft - even the Civil Aviation Authority cannot see the point when the thing can only have a useful flight time of 30 minutes.
