Electric Cars aka EV's

Does anyone drive and EV?

The reason I ask is that I am finally replacing my venerable and 12 year Astra, with a new Hyundai Ioniq fully EV car? 

What are peoples thoughts on EV's ?

With energy prices all over the show at the moment in the UK, I wonder how long before charging point price for a three-hour charge follow suit? Heating oil here has risen from £186 to £260 for 500 litres in 2 weeks.

Chart for last week, for 900l, here - previous week's rises were similar in magnitude. Gas high also, and won't be long before electricity follows suit. 

Off to read your blog now, @madasaf1sh

I was thinking of this in relation to the energy price hike last week. Not much of an incentive to go totally electric currently in my opinion.

Sad really.

2 EV charging points in Morrison's supermarket ... & ... just this last week or so 2 more EV charging points near centre of town upon completion of conversion of old job centre into executive appartments, which are now all spoken for. Interesting to see if nearby Tescoe's have any EV charging points.

My mistake earlier in saying my son's car is a hybrid ... it is ... a diesel Skoda Suber(b) - my son is hoping for a new car by the end of the year. He is to travel Ireland next year on behalf of the company so let's hope he has his new car before then. He works in the Land and Mineral Resources department of a concrete company, promoting prefab buildings among other things. I would say he is leaning towards a hybrid car thinking about his company 'road trip' next year.

We were discussing this, the 3 of us, on a recent visit to see my son and his wife up in Tyne and Wear.

As an aside I used one of those electric battery powered mobility scooters when going around Alnwick Gardens. The 'kids' surprised me ... oh what fun I had ... = ... my kind of speed dial = left was the image of a tortoise and to the right an image of a hare ... I mounted the kerb once, pranged it on the wishing well ... & ... went off road over the rough terrain where my son and his wife were relaxing in a two-seater 'garden type' swing ... an area of many swings like that for the children in the peak season and weekends.
