Electric car range anxiety. Is it a thing?
I’ve had my EV for nearly a year, done one long journey, and it hasn’t bothered me a bit.
I can get 160 to 220 miles on a full charge with my Renault Zoe. I’ve learned to use my home charger as my go-to, but if I go on a long trip, it’s all about using the technology, mainly zapmap and google maps, to figure out where the public chargers are, and visiting as many as I need to in order to get me where I need to be.
For myself, I avoid the motorway service stations, and instead look for retail parks with a bank of EV charge points as my pit stops, for two reasons. There’s a lot more to see and do than there is at Fleet or South Mims, and the charge is loads cheaper as well. You’re talking about 79p per kW at the motorway over 49p per kW at the retail park. Well worth a small diversion.
It’s just a case of knowing your car’s limits and staying within them.
