QuoteAbout a third of car owners do not have their own driveway for charging so must keep using public charge points.
I always thought that was a big issue regarding moving to electric cars.  A lot of people have issues regarding parking locally never mind charging an electric car.  I thought it would have been more than that could not charge a car in their driveway.  What happens if you don't have your own charging point and the local selfish barstewards come home and stick their car on the local charging point and leave it there till the next day?  There's going to a bit of conflict and plenty of work for the local car body shops!!

I read that many batterirs are very specific to a model and replacements need special oneoff remaking. Hence the wild prices.  Shocking  :shock: :shock:

To be fair, e-cars would be fine for 100% local use. The issues really only kick in when you want to go somewhere farther. They really would not be much good for travelling anglers, hillwalkers etc

We have two, of many, multistory flats here, 14 floors, a total of 168 households plus the three concierge. There are no charging points and the car park is already too small for all the cars :) There are also scemes with three, four and six story flats with little to no parking, where do they charge their cars?
Don't worry, be happy.

Carried it in full, then carry it out empty.

Came across this video today. This is worth watching and the UK figures alone blow the electric car fantasy apart.

The environmental issues with batteries alone are devastating
