For one thing, I need a decent size car with a lot of boot space for work and so the current entry-level models wouldn't cut it, and that's before we consider the range. Whilst *most* of my regular driving is local, every few weeks I need to do a 200-300 mile round trip somewhere and if I'm visiting a client or something I can't be wasting time stopping off every 100 miles to sit around waiting for the car to charge up a bit.
Exactly! and imagine the recent standstills of up to 6 hours on the M25 in freezing cold weather!
