Electric cars 21:30 - May 19 with 1579 views

Just after some advice.
Im considering chopping on my petrol car for an EV and was wondering what EV's people are driving and how easy the transition from fossil fuels to EV's.
I've just moved to a house with PV panels and a car charging port.

Poll:

How many of the remaining games do you think town can win

Some great advice above. I drive a Model 3 SR from N Essex to London. If you can charge from your home address financially atm it’s a real bonus. Look at your notmal routes and check out the chargers along them incase one isn’t working. I have use of charger at work and home so any issues and I’m still fine. When the Chinese bring battery swap over here then everyone can 1. Afford one (because they will be cheaper than ICE cars) and 2. Charging won’t always be necessary because you can swap out an old for new in around 3 mins…… result

I have had a Tesla Model S for 5 years. When I got it I got free Super Charging on the Tesla network, which is great as its very cheap for me to run. If you use the sat nav it works out when you need to charge and warns you if you need to slow down and save the battery etc. Its quick! However, Tesla's service is rubbish. Build quality is not good enough for a £85k car. I had to have a new battery 6 months ago which was replaced under warrently and that failed a month later so they had to replace again. I would buy another electric car again over petrol but more and more brands are getting better so I would shop around and check out your options. See if you can have one overnight to do a long run.
