One KWh takes me 3-5 miles depending on hilliness and speed.

So 60 to 90 miles if you use the battery to depletion (which of course
you won't)

Like I said, a toy.

EVs may well become usable - Give em 250 usable miles in any weather,
and the chance to add another 100 miles in 10 mins at a refuelling
station and I would expect most people would be able to cope.

Now all you need do is build the nukes to power it all.



How often do you make a journey of even fifty miles? Most of my journeys are under twenty miles. Many are less than five.

For some people that's practical, but it does mean you need 2 cars. For most people that ain't practical.

pretty but lousy handling


NT

True.
It's forty odd years old and has 1970's handling.
I intend to have new dampers fitted.
Before the age of low profile tyres and subject to both over and under steer.
Cheap to insure, no road tax.
Just a bit heavy on petrol. (Seven litre V8 engine).
But it's an investment.
Just like my solar panels.
Which BTW have paid off very well.
