We love our planet and are fervent environmentalists, but our recent experience in the UK has put us off hiring Electric Vehicles for life. Embrace the horror. Read the article.
My heart goes out for your loss. We owned a electric car for five years and we'll never own another. We sold it prior to the big move from California to Tennessee, driving to our new home with an electric car would probably takes us a year 😉
Charging infrastructure has a long way to go. No doubt about that. I drive an EV regularly in the US where public charging is arguably worse than in the UK. But almost all of our charging is done at home so there is very little pain. Mostly.
Still... I rented a similar Polestar 2 for 2 weeks for vacation in England last fall and very much enjoyed the car. We had a few charging troubles (one charger that didn't work, and one that Google said existed but was nowhere to be found.) With a bit of planning we managed to "fill up" at a few DC chargers and one place we stayed had an on-site charger which made things easy. If/when we return to the UK I'm much inclined to again go with an EV.
First, our deepest condolences on the loss of auntie Pam 🙏. Although the trip was a bit troublesome, so happy you guys made it back to celebrate her life.❤️
On the electric car issue, thank you - a big note to self , if/when I do need to rent (hire 😉) a car… I will rent a car and not a headache… don’t need that kind of added frustration . Cheers 🍻
