A long journey solely relying on public charging was a great time to see first hand the reality of long distance EV travel in the UK. Join me as I cover a variety of the UK's public charging networks, with just a minimal amount of failure.
How does the cost compare to petrol/diesel? People make a big deal about the cost of public rapid charging - but it's not all as bad as it seems. It's all about balance - cheap home charging will of course always bring the average down.
