Watched the ITV 'Tonight' program 'Are we ready for electric cars ' referred to in previous post this morning ( recorded ). The couple who were testing the car found it was taking roughly twice the time to do longer journeys than in a ICE car, and too many apps on chargers ( all worked differently ) some chargers were not working. One of the main gripes is the sheer purchase cost of BEV - whether they save you money in the long run is also moot, typical cost of one journey was about £11 in petrol car, £9.50 in a diesel and just under £6 in a BEV, ( but that was using home charging ) - all they said was 'cost would increase using charging points' without giving a typical figure which is very telling, as it may have been close to diesel journey cost.... The government will not give up the money from motorists and look out for road pricing or tax on electricity used to charge vehicles,
