unless you have to drive over 60 miles?
current electric cars can make sense to some people, depending on the use but they do not have the power to replace ICE cars.
Just wait for an I-PACE

Can't think of many employers would be too chuffed you want to charge up at work. Not like you're charging a phone lol
Don't agree as its clear electric cars could replace ICE cars for a lot of people and there are benefits to electric cars. The average commute is only 8.5 miles. Most people live within 1 hour of there workplace. Electric cars are pretty good to replace the everyday runabout car a lot of family's have. You then swap to the ICE car for the rare long trips.unless you have to drive over 60 miles?

The depreciation is one of the big things that pushed me towards a Leaf.EVs do depreciate very quickly though for exactly that reason. Once they hit a certain age people just won't buy them. They just cost a lot more to start with.
That's all I'd need. It's virtually all I'm doing at home, with a bit more permanence about the fitment.Number of dedicated EV charging ports at my employer(s)
0.
LOL.
One guy trails a cable inside through the window, across the bushes and plugs it into the wall. haha
what would be great is when you go into a charge station, a automated system removes your flat battery, and fits a freshly charged pack. So you don't have to wait around for it to charge.
Bit like changing your battery pack in a RC car.

So own two cars when you only need one.
That's wrong we need 2 cars and own 2 cars. We rarely do 60mile+ long trips when we do we use a fuel car. Our situation is pretty common a lot of if not most family's own at lest 2 cars. I could get away with an electric car for 100% of my driving needs, why would I ever by a fuel car again?So own two cars when you only need one.
An electric car would be great for my commute (15 miles each way) but the concern would be traffic. If there's an accident I can be in slow moving traffic for quite some time.
How long does a battery last when in traffic that moves just enough that wouldn't turn your engine off.
So own two cars when you only need one.
Being stuck in traffic uses virtually nothing. Its motorway 70mph speeds that eat into range the fastest, oh and the cold takes about 30% of the battery efficiency away. Our Zoe has about 70 mile range in this weather and 100ish + in the summer
That doesn't make any sense, the reason I want an electric car is I value my time and an electric car would save me lots of time over a fual car.
Electric cars are stupid.
This is where roof solar panels come in. Means the company saves money on running costs and any extra goes towards that. Not sure how you would police it though or arrange costs.
Do you live in fantasy land? Why would employer pay tens of thousands of pounds to have solar panels, which takes years to pay off, then have reserved parking and connection points just in case 1 car out of 50000 is electric, for the employee to charge free of charge for?
haha
