with regard to EVs if you live in a terrace with no off road parking an ev is no use to you as you cannot drape a charge lead accross the pedestrian walkway. My grandson has a company car which is fortunately duel fuel he uses it more on regular fuel than electric due to the fact that he lives in a terrace and cant charge it at home he covers a large area in his car for his company and says if he was to start having to look for charging places he would never get half his work done, before he got this car he was all for evs but now realises how short they fall in reality when it comes to travelling any distance and is glad he has duel fuel caperbility.
EVs might be good for the motorist that only potters around a short distance and has off road parking, but from what my grandosn has said that some charging points are different to others and he cant use them so do folk also have to carry an adaptor just incase, and then you get the fact that sometimes you have to wait to be able to hook up to a charge point in some places as the charging points are in use, i can understand the desired use for evs but it makes more sense to go the duel fuel route to me at least then you dont get stuck somewhere especially on a long route
