I am sure you will have guessed I am just picking all these messages now, however, I have mentioned my work routine, but the cost of charging a Tesla is very low, Economy 7 or not, I dont want to say its similar to charging your phone (because its not) but if a full charge is £9 compared to a full tank in 3 Litre Audi that is £120 then its a no brainer

Lexusgs430:


He might be on an Economy 7, hence the ability or illusion to charge his Tesla off peak (maybe he works at night).... And plays during the day.

also i think this is speculative,
Depending on your area, you can get longer times, however - there are more places to charge other than street, I have a massive IKEA close to me that offer free charging, I have a train station close to me that also offers free charging, most hotels do free charging plus a massive Tesla centre close to my house that offers free charging


on a diff note,you can charge up to 170 miles in 30 mins, thats like stopping on the motor way to use the toilet, grab a snack and stretch your leg

Lexusgs430:


The parking ticket can be changed, once UK can boost of 60% EV on its roads......

The council that restricted it to 4 hours, can simply increase or decrease that limitation........

Just a point to note, London famous black cabd will be replaced with EV, so imagine how many charging points there will be in london alone.
The more there are, the more competition, the more prices go down.

I have seen a start up that wants to use street lights as charging points, so imagine a street that has as many as you can count lights, all been charging station.

Lexusgs430:


When all private parking space providers also invest in charging points, the unforseen limitations would be absorbed by the extra capacity.....

And the EV cabs would be selling for £60,000...... Once EV cars becomes the norm and are slightly cheaper, I would expect the government of the day, to offer scrappage schemes......

EV charging points would be at every corner, that charging points would become a second nature....

£9 vs £120? I don't need to answer this question.....

Sadiq Khan would be happier, because his emission levels would almost be 0% ( assuming he is still the Mayor) LOL

Why will they spend 60000 pounds on new EV cabs when they can switch to Chevy Bolt or Tesla 3 now?
