Nielda .... can't see me ever owning an EV as, paradoxically, I'm too 'green' for charging ..... you're brave relying entirely on a phone for everything .... it may be different if you live in a densely populated area with loads of shops and services within easy reach .... living where my 'local services' are a small village co-op 4 miles away I've found three times in the last month I've gone there and the card system is down for some reason so 'cash only' .... when the next nearest shop is another 8 mile trip it pays to have a bit of cash on you.

I have other cars - so the Tesla is just a daily barouche.
Covid has driven acceptance of contactless payments - previously there used to be a prevalence of 'minimum £5 spend' signs. These have now gone and pretty much everyone prefers not to handle cash. I live in a hamlet of 6 houses in the middle of nowhere - nearest village is a few miles away, but the shops accept contactless.
I didn't think I'd buy an EV either as I'm a committed petrol head - but it made sense, very tax efficient and costs next to nothing to run. Obviously it won't suit luddites who think electric seats are the devil's work and designed for morons.
