Hi , on holiday in you brand new Mercedes PMF model electric car.
It's now 2027 and 15% off cars on the road the road are battery powered.
On M5 , need to charge battery at Taunton Dean but a queue over a mile long swing to get on the service area.
You drive on and see hundreds of car on the hard shoulder.
Next service area is full.
Kids screaming in back , wife going potty and your car is stuffed.
Global governments are forcing car manufactures to sell technology / inferstructure that that is not fit for purpose.
I tried the following exercise !
I pretended that my petrol car battery powered :. On my regular trip to Newcastle from Worcester I planned my route.
I chose to have two top ups / coffees etc and my trip started.
First stop and no issues on the surface / plenty of free electric charge points , however most no working and the only real electric car on the stand was having trouble paying for his electricity.He told me common issue but his company was going back to petrol powered cars.
He was a sales rep.
I travelled on to my next charge point and had a similar issue.
I then decided battery cars are no good for my driving profile.
I am not a ludite and cars doing local runs most probably will benefit from battery power.( If you can charge them )
That all folks
