For me charging speed is more important than range as for day to day any range will do and for long trips the duration of your brake is essential.
Agreed. I know that many people seem to view range as some kind of deal breaker but even for a range-limited car stopping for 20 minutes or so every couple of hours doesn't seem to be a bad thing in any case.
The only thing that bothers me slightly is that the capacity of a home charger, coupled with the restricted hours of cheap electricity, might be a bit of a pain for those who don't like to charge every night. 5 hours at 7kW only gives around 32 kWh, which is around 110 - 120 miles of range. Absolutely fine for us as we hardly ever do more than that in one day. If one wanted to put more range into the car one would need to move into peak pricing range which jacks the cost up a bit. Still better than paying 90p/kWh or whatever at a fast charger though.
