I’m not anti EV but it just doesn’t meet our needs. We did over 5100 miles in 7 weeks and apart from the Spanish French border did not have to wait to fill up.
I don’t know what mpg I get on the Volvo but it seems good. Filled up in Slovenia,, filled up in Luxembourg town and drove to London , 960 miles and still have a third of a tank of Luxembourgs best 95 It was daytime driving both days, air con on occasionally , overnight stop and not driving at really high speeds, with few hold ups which probably helped.
You really cannot complain about that, cheaper than flying and no need for a hire car.
Where we stayed overnight, small village, had no shops, no garage and no chargers, so an EV would nave been hopeless? You could buy 5 litres of new wine in plastic ‘cans’ much cheaper than German petrol prices though……
