but a lack in charging stations.
Our nearest charging station is right on the usable range of most EVs. Would hate to get there - over 90 minutes away - only to discover that it's not working.
Or to put it another way, if I bought one at our nearest Renault / Nissan main dealer, I'd need to also buy a car transporter if I ever wanted to get it home. Good job servicing isn't needed - having to tow it in every time you needed an oil change would be a pain.
Given the number of feathered windfarms we have up here - with billions in constraint payments being made to sit still, it would be good to see all that spare capacity being put to something useful like charging points.0 -
About 450 - 500 miles
Honda PCX 1250 -
From my 2012 Citroen C1, I get 235-240 miles on £20 of Tesco petrol. All my journeys are short, 2.3 miles to work and 4 miles to daughter's school.
On a run to Wales I averaged 86mpg over the whole journey measured from full tank to full tank, I was well impressed with this run, I did stick with the trucks/coaches as I had plenty of time and just wanted to see what I could get on a long run.0 -
BMW 530D (2010) average around 45mpg achieves 80-90 miles no matter what style of driving.0

Where i usually go to get fuel there is rarely anyone waiting behind me and i haven't had anyone waiting this year!. But on the rare occasion i use a busy fuel station i use the pay at pump and get a receipt and reset my trip computer which takes a few seconds. So i'm alot faster than people who walk into the shop to pay and i can put all the information into the app from the receipt.
