They are never going to provide charging on cross-channel ferries.

The house we were "visiting" (to buy) was not ours until we had done the
paperwork, had only a 3kW supply limit, was at the time disconnected and
we only stopped there long enough to look (bought as seen on the day)
and again for an hour to spray woodworm killer.

Charging anywhere on route, would have delayed us considerably.

So for the one weekend in your life when you drive to France, buy a house,
spray it with woodworm killer, and drive home again, you rent a petrol or
diesel car.

Perhaps the other weekends in your life don't involve nonstop driving 1000+
miles and are not as action-packed?

That's one reason why I liked the idea of plug-in hybrids. Best of both
worlds.

Sufficient battery to cope with the average journey of 7 miles, and
would have the necessary range for long journeys.

Plus not be as heavy as pure EVs so less carbon particulates from tyre wear.
