Hi all,
We are keen to buy an EV this year but will need to purchase a more affordable used one, so most of the long range models are out of our budget. We do make (in non covid times...) frequent trips to visit both sets of parents, one is a 140 mile and one a 120 mile round trip. This seems to be a bit too far for eg. an older model Leaf.
I am wondering if it might be worth paying for and install a charging point at their homes, we do often just go for the day so would the car charge enough in 3 or 4 hours to get home again? All other long trips we'd be fine stopping at services and charging.
I know this would be expensive so any opinions, ideas or other solutions welcome!
Thanks.
