...... I’ve been quietly driving mine on the daily 15 mile each way commute since early December, park it on the drive every night and every 2 or 3 days charge it whilst I sleep on Octopus and my daily commute is costing me £3.50 a week.......

Nailed it.
This is what EV's are all about.
For anything else, particularly long distance, pretty much useless.

I partially agree - but after all that’s the sort of journey an extremely large proportion of drivers undertake 99% of the time. And probably the most polluting type of ICE driving. It’s also nice to have instant heat and performance over short distances like my commute. I’m not sure why they’re useless over long distances though? I’d certainly plan my route a little in advance, but I suspect it would be well worth the savings in fuel costs alone over say a 200 mile each way journey - the first leg very cheap, the second would require 40 mins charging. A bit of a faff, yes - but useless? - it just requires a different mindset.
Lots of people seem to have decided against EV’s and I’ve no idea why. I find myself looking at new luxury or mid range petrol, diesel and hybrid cars and thinking why on earth did you choose that? - the only reason I’d go back is if I didn’t have a drive to charge it on, or I wanted a cheap runaround. Or I commuted to Aberdeen and back every day.

I guess it depends on what you’re terming long distance, and what EV you’re trying to do it in, but I use mine every week for a 400 mile round trip, albeit with an overnight before the return journey.

Several times a year I do 500+ miles in a day though, which is a 10+ hour trip in whatever car I’ve done it in.

Most of the time though it’s just a car that’s always ready to go and i use it like any car I ever have.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to let my brother know, he drives all over the country in his Tesla.
