[quote=Cineman]Long motorway journeys (I do 400 miles per week on motorways) are the killer for electric cars. Even the iPace - which I seriously thought about - will struggle to make 200 miles on a rainy winter motorway at night. The interesting thing about the calculator (
https://www.jaguar.co.uk/jaguar-range/i-pace/electric-vehicles/index.html) is that it reminds us all how tires, temperature, rain and wind make a big impact on energy use, whether electric, diesel , petrol of any other source. My Discovery Sport regularly uses more fuel returning South because of the prevailing SW wind etc etc.
I read that we will need 7 new power stations to create the energy needed if all cars are electric by 2040.. and I don't here any talk about that from Westminster.. (Ha!)..
If you do 400 miles a week, presumably not in one journey, then you should be able to use an EV, I studied my mileages for 12 months before going to an ev. Easy to do on google maps timeline.
