Hmmmm I have space for 10-20 cars. I should open a charging hub.
With decent coffee!
I have a fast charger at a hotel a couple of miles out of town that is fairly cheap, but thereās nothing there apart from indifferent coffee. Weāre there either decent coffee or a place to walk the dogs then Iād be there every week.
When was that then?
Do i need to read back though this thread when I next take a dump? I didnāt post for over half of last year so I guess Ive missed it.
That puts the recent posts into context.
Bad luck adam.
There was a how can I make a long charging cable and everything. Much mockery.
This is as funny the second time round.
Ok. Iāll read up the thread over the weekend
Streetlight EV chargers are a thing. Just not in many places yet. They will hopefully become a bigger thing. Be nice that.
Itās just as good re-reading it.
Mind out for low flying random apostrophes while youāre walking the dog.
Iām about done with SwiftKey, Iām trying to deGoogle and itās just not as good
Meanwhile the car has been delayed until March now
Officially a long lead timeā¦
I remember this; it amused me. The shape of things to come?
Nice deal.
Have you ever sat in one?
Tiny with a dreadful seating position. Which is a shame.
This is all cars ever.
I accept small cars are a compromise for me, however the leaf is particularly bad. Steering wheel doesnāt reach adjust which makes matters worse. Our fiesta has better ergonomics.
Oh I know, its so hit and miss what is actually comfortable to drive. I drive a van most days and the seat never go anywhere near back far enough, its torture.
We could be very keen on an electric car, we cover around 8K miles a year but I have a 185 mile each way trip to do once every six weeks which I prefer to do with minimal fuss. 95% of my journeys are circa 25 mile round trips in Devon and Cornwall, so mostly milage wise is ideal for and electric car. There are lots of reports that advertised trip distances are very optimistic and also that the charging station situation is complex and thatās what is putting me off investigating further. At the moment it looks like three or four recharges to get to Oxford and back is simply too much effort.
Worth doing the sums: would an electric car save you enough money to cover the costs of a basic hire car for your Oxford trips?
