At no point did I claim all in one go, it was comparing total stopping time to refuel excluding comfort breaks, as for the use of a bottle, why? In a caravan you have all your own facilities with you, no need to foul the lay-bys , and I also put that for personal use I could just as easily run an EV, for work, in my job,not a cat in hells chance.
Exactly, my understanding is you can basically do 4.5 hours driving, then have a 3/4 hour break, then go do another 4.5 hours, I think you can go up to 10 hours per day occasionally, but I’m not that up on it
Which I believe is more ecological for the earth than making a new vehicle, but I have no proof, it would be an interesting research for somebody
I should confess to running a VW Caravelle which is now 10 years old and has over 260k miles on it. EVs are not evil, but for many would be a a far better choice than simply purchasing another gas-guzzler. Too many base their vehicle choice on what they imagine they might do, maybe once a year rather than the real journeys that they do for 50 weeks of the year.
Infrastructure is key and it’s something I’m sure will be addressed.
I'm still not convince it's better for the environment, yes the emission from the actual vehicle at the time of the actual journey will be, but after you've taken in the material extraction, material milage, the electricity production, the disposal of the toxic materials at end of life?
That's all well and good, there are 2x spec Model X priced at either £90,980 or £110,980, those prices are totally OTT unless your incredibly wealthy, or someone else pays for it, by the same token you can get a 7 seat Ford Tourneo Connect, with an 8 speed auto and most expensive metallic paint option for £27,857, that's why sales are 20:1 in the favour of ice vehicles, and theres no need to take 2 cars to get everyone in plus luggage.
