Do you drive 100 miles to work and 100 miles back on top of the 2x 50 mile delivery rounds then?I do 300 miles most days without a coffee or meal break, or even a poop break (I like my own loo) but then I'm just abnormal apparently.
But I'm not a EV sceptic just a EV Van sceptic
Who honestly forgets ‘bin day’ on a regular basis? I’m sure you’ve tried to use this analogy several times now!
Do you forget to lock your car or put your shoes on or leave the house unlocked/windows open etc?
Most people do these things subconsciously, and as per many driving activities are carried out on autopilot.
I’d say, speaking for myself, it’s a pain when you have to go out of your way to get fuel. Eg fuel light comes on on way home but you can’t be bothered to stop or are busy/don’t have time etc. Monday morning you then need to drive to a petrol station when you’re undoubtedly busy as well and/or traffic is bad, queues at the garage etc.
Could have been topped up at home ready to go with no real drama. Unlike bin day, which is usually fixed, you can charge your car when it’s convenient at home - no drama
The acceleration puts a smile on my face every drive.If you remember on auto-pilot which bin to put out on bin day, I salute you
When someone says my EV takes me from A to B and it told me where to stop for electrons and because I knew I was travelling far that day I told the charger to take the charge level up to 100% the night before and this saved me £x, there's a part of me that thinks, yes, that sounds sensible and is clearly the future. And there's a part of me that thinks good grief how dreary. But as I think clk320x is suggesting most people want a car to be safe and affordable (or demonstrate their wealth if they are a cretin) and trundle around the SE at no more than 40 mph so for them and EV is absolutely ideal, and probably sensible for the rest of us (to save CO2, cleaner air, etc). Although it is clearly daft to attach emotions to piston engines/cars in general, that's exactly what petrol heads (or gearheads) do and I am still struggling to see the enjoyment in EV ownership - cost saving, econess, serenity yes. But fun, exciting, grin inducing? Hmmmm... maybe the Taycan can?
But to question which bin it is would mean that you’ve not forgotten to do it?If you remember on auto-pilot which bin to put out on bin day, I salute you

Not sure that’s the case, are EVs not a growing trend over time?
Much like all new tech is takes time to filter through to the ‘masses’ - similarly to OLED TVs etc…
Resistance to change, which is human nature. Ignorance, believing everything they read, believing the EV haters, most of which haven't even driven one, let alone owned one.

No, it’s more that you want to arrive at the destination with a decent % of battery left…
