I loved it, but found myself in a lot of shopping mall car parks for 45 minutes buying tat and didn't need and eating rubbish while the vehicle charged. It's a pretty poor experience and that's with decent infrastructure. It'll get better, but I drive to Skye from London 3-4 times a year as well as driving holidays in France and at the moment it's too much of a lottery. My friends with EVs who make similar journeys all have stories of hitting 2 or 3 charging stations in a row either busy or broken. It took one guy 5 hours to get charged. I can't risk that with young kids yet.

    These are all teething problems though. Soon a charge will take no longer than filling up petrol.
    This pretty much is why they are not good to go...

    ... Hope car don't melt charging at that rate.... Lol
