Good news, I’ve found you some more 100kW charge points, and a rash of 50 kW ones for a1 hr lunch / coffee / dogwalk break from driving
Sorry did I hear you say the _four_ breaks? Did you also find them in France?
You challenge that I am damaging the environment because I have a choice. Certainly my son has a choice, because he is in a stable job with a union, rights and can take interest free loans. Even he can't afford two very expensive EV's and a vehicle for holidays.
Personally my car is now 11 years old and my wife's is 10 years old. The runaround we use day to day is 13 years old. The whole lot would set you back about £1,000 at todays prices.
I have only had one solid year of work, contiguous, in the last 7 years and I have had 18 months of work in the last 3 years. So how the hell do you expect me to buy a £40,000 vehicle. No, wait, 2 x £40k vehicles And a vehicle capable of shifting an entire apartment of stuff once or twice a year and able to take us on holidays when I get the time and stable income.
When we have 10 year old EV's, which cost under £10,000 I will consider looking at them. But my chances of getting an electric vehicle, any time soon, are minimal and my chances of charging it, in any reasonable time whilst travelling, in France, are nil.
Oren has the rights of this today.
One of my sons spends a lot of time looking at how very successful people see the world. See people like Jobs. Their view is that someone else's problem is their opportunity.
What I talk about here, as problems, should be the opportunity for the manufacturers and the governments in providing clean energy and transport for the world.
Trying to make the current pitiful offerings work for all cases, today, stops us from creating that world we need for the future generations.
We should not be saying "hey look at me, I'm so wonderful, I can do my 15 hour journey in 2 days, with current technology". We should be demanding the correct technology right now. No new public chargers should be under 50KW today, yet the vast majority of the infrastructure being rolled out is 7KW.
That, in itself, is a tragedy.
