Or posting that you are at Gatwick and will be on holiday for 2 weeks and your house will be empty or it will be when you get home.

Range of 250 miles and full charge in 10 minutes… at a 350kW charging point. So fine if you live within 125 miles of Maidstone which has the only 350kW charging station in the UK.

Aaaaaah, in that case I don't want one :?

PS is that your paella Geoff ? Before or after ? And what colour pants are you wearing today. You must update your Faecesbook page for all the world (except me and Simon) to see

Like most things, supply will meet demand. I don't imagine Maidstone will stay the only one for very long.
I guess they will work also with older charging points which charge it in 30-40 minutes, then make use of faster charge points when they become available.

They've just opened one in MK so you and Trev are alright. :twisted:

Problem solved. Just tow around your own 350kW generator and mileage is unlimited.

You'll need that at home. We don't have enough power generating capacity to keep the lights on let alone power EVs (which are only green if you live in a city). We needed to build several nuclear power stations about 10 years ago, but currently can't borrow enough money from the Chinese in order to pay the French to build them for us. Before we joined the EU we lead the world in Nuclear power technology is that just coincidence that we are now reliant on the French?
