Had an i3 four years ago, Range 90 to 125, less than 5k Mpa, can’t charge at home, used dealer 7kw charging points at £7/month, no reasonably priced local rapids, got fed up spending 1 day/week charging so went back to ICE.
Now hoping to move to a Kia Soul, with range of 220 to 270 say. ( 95% urban driving ).
Kia dealer, 18 miles round trip, should be installing rapids for customer use next year or so, but meanwhile will have to rely on public charging. However now have several rapids within a 5 mile radius including Shell at 39p, Engenie and Swarco at 36p and Genie at £1 + 30p, needing less than 1 hours charging per fortnight. Also 2 x 7kw Pod points a short bus drive away at £1.50 per hour, needing perhaps 6 hours charging per fortnight.
Asked a similar question about the Zoe a few months ago.
Any views on the practicality of using public charging points until the Kia site is available?
