That is so stupid it hurts.

We took her 'useless' 80mi range for a 350mi day trip in the mountains this summer while the petrol car got repaired.

Sure it meant a few stops at fast chargers, +60mi in 15mins for quick stops.

We had 3 meals at places with chargers so it got 3 full charges while we ate.

It was still a great day out despite taking longer than it would in the petrol car.

IF those are available, that's great. For a lot of people that's just not an option.

I should note I'm all for EVs but they're not the "win" for everyone they could be until infrastructure catches up.


The point was they're not useless, even for longer journies, not that they fit every person and every use case.
