As I’ve previously posted I have two EV’s both of which serve as our normal vehicles, their batteries are fine and won’t crash and burn as seems to be the popular belief, there are still 2010 Nissan leafs running around with over 90% battery efficiency.
we’ve managed all the journeys we used to do in ice vehicles before and ok sometimes the public charging system can be a bit frustrating but with a modicum of planning is relatively easy.
Charging doesn’t take forever with the right equipment, in fact Nissan provided my first home charger with the car for free, not sure if they still do that.
My solar array and smart (zappi) charger ensure that most of my driving (13k miles in a year) is done for free, in winter I use the half price electricity (8p/kWh) that my tarrif provides overnight and all weekend.
I still use and love my 4.6 plus 8, but hope that my carbon footprint is not quite so damaging now.
Mainly I bought the EV’s due to the money I’ve saved.
