We were one of the first owners of an electric car in North Yorkshire. The local radio station appealed for someone to give a local journalist an hours ride while they recorded a live interview. So. my husband volunteered and the presenter was very impressed. The car was a Zoe, and we had it for many years. Now on our second car - same model but much bigger range now on the battery.
I should mention that we have our own charging unit on the side of the house, so have never needed to find a charger when out and about.
We are both eighty, and dont do many journeys more than 40 miles. So for us it ticks all the boxes.
