I know where most of the charging points are in my area, but what if I go to a part of the country that I don't know? If I want petrol, the signs are all up there for all to see: Shell, Esso, BP. But where are the signs for charging points?
2. Electric cars can catch fire. Radio news reports often mention that a road is closed because a car is on fire. An electric car? Probably.
3. If I take my electric car to a filling station that has charging points, I may have to wait some time to get on to a point. Even then, I understand that not all charging points are the same, so the point there may not fit my car.
No thank you! I do not want an electric car, at any price!
Our friends have a hugely expensive electric narrowboat that they live on. When there isn't enough power in the batteries a diesel generator kicks in to charge them. They, too, are spending more on diesel than they did in their previous boat.
The electric one is up for sale if your interested. Less than two years old
I understand your point, Canary. The hospital is a 6 minute drive from my house (plus ages drives round and round looking for a blerdy parking space) but to get there by bus involves at least two buses (depending on time of day) and a minimum of 70 minutes. How they have managed to cover such a large distance to travel such a short way is a mystery. No hope of bus travel on Sunday
