EV good idea for old folk and local driving I suppose but no good for holiday trips with a car full adding weight and lowering range.
As TB says maybe a lot of naff coffee consumed if traveling from say Aberdeen to Newquay with a family of 5
Depends on your usage pattern I suppose. As I said I'm c 33,500 into ownership and it's the first time I've paid to rapid charge. Taking that specific example, it's 660 miles and 11hrs (longer if not going overnight). You *could* go straight through in a diesel but I would imagine either nappies would be required or the foot wells would be ankle deep in p!ss by the time you arrived. For me, stopping for 20-30mins every 3-4hrs is no particular hardship.
The farthest I'm prepared to drive with the family in a day is Telford - Paris. Which is roughly 3.5hrs one side the channel and 3 the other. So we *will* stop anyway once during each leg, plus a wait at the chunnel. I'm yet to do it in the iX but I'm guessing it won't add more than 20-30 mins onto the journey time, if that.
Which probably equates roughly to the amount of time I save every 2 weeks by not visiting the petrol station.
