@monday We’ve been driving an VW iD3 for a couple of years now. I should and maybe will write a longer post about it, but long story short could never go back to non electric. Lack of supply and high prices have been holding back uptake a little in Europe, but both are going to change for the better in 2023 There will be lots of Chinese entrants on to the market and prices will fall. Tesla knows this and has tried to get ahead of the market by reducing prices a lot a week ago.

All my driving so far has been done within Ireland and have had no range issues/problems with charging (touch wood) so far. And I’d have no hesitation in taking in on a long road trip most places in Europe. The Ionity network on its own is pretty good and there are lots more alternatives arriving on the market.

I’d much prefer though if the grants that Governments are giving towards purchasing new electric cars went on improving cycling networks within cities and small electric buses making connections between smaller towns and rural areas.

All in all, the transition is going to happen faster than most people realise.
