Peter J Fullagar 🌈<p>At the end of October last year, my partner got an <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ElectricCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricCar</span></a> - and a nice one at that. We're a two-car household and live in our own flat in a small development with a 'private’ car park.</p><p>Now, there's no way to charge at home - we're too far from the car park to be able to link a cable, and the management company have so far refused to put in any charging points. </p><p>However, there are quite a few charging points nearby, and as we both work from home, it's quite nice to take some time out to go and charge the car - well, he does, anyway.</p><p>I've been noticing with my petrol car more and more fumes coming from it. I've only had it a year and a half, but I'm seriously considering swapping for an <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a>. I drive fairly often to my mum, who is about 80 miles away (each way) and so I'm considering a long-range EV. My partner’s car has a max range of about 160 miles.

When I’m with my mum, it needs to be high enough for her to get in and to fit the foldable wheelchair in the boot - would prefer not to have to put the seats down.</p><p>Thoughts? Comments?</p>
