I think you're right to wait Peter.

I've had over a year of hybrid driving in my i8, and always try to park & charge. It's not usually possible - the network is chaotic and brittle. That's not going to change quickly - I read that to keep up with EV demand the UK would need to install 1,000 charge points a day. That's 1,000 *working* charge points. There's five in the regency Crescent/Square ghetto where I live. Two are currently ICEd. When I last tried to use one, the payment failed; life's too short to try to figure out why. Imagine if petrol stations worked like that... diesels parking across petrol pumps, card machines not working. It would be chaos.

Motorway journeys are fine, if you need a fast charge. My hunt for a charge has taken me to the charging areas of service stations where there's always 90% free space on Tesla & Ionity chargers. & I guess that even as they become busy, if there's 10 occupied chargers on 50 minute charges, you won't have to wait long for a plug.

Inner city and destination Tesla charge points usually have one or two chargers for any other brands - my experience is that even in lockdown they were always in use. For example, there's lamppost charging in Westminster. On 3 trips to London over the past 12 months I've not yet seen a free charge point either around Trafalgar Square or in Fitzrovia. Services like ParkingBee are excellent for reserving a garaged parking space, but doesn't allow you to reserve one with a charger.

If I needed to buy an all purpose useable hybrid I'd be looking for a late model i3 rex, or a Mazda MX30 rex - which fast charge and will come with a small rotary charger. Where the BMW uses a small bike engine, the Mazda's rotary would give plenty of power for the weight.
