This is the post I wrote explaining why we went electric originally. The long and short of it is the circumstances that made an electric car work heavily in our favour aren’t there any more.
- I fully work from home so I drive a lot less.
- I’m never in the office to charge for free.
- Public charging is now laughably expensive given the government’s EV adoption goals.
- I don’t have a home charger at the moment as the house I’m renting would need the electrics upgraded due to overly stringent rules around installing home chargers. This makes charging the EV a massive chore.
- I’ve a small child with associated luggage and paraphernalia
It doesn’t work for us. So we bought a 7 seater SUV.
