The cold weather range article is misleading because it uses WLTP range rather than summer range as a reference. Obviously this is great for click bait, but ultimately makes it less useful.
Good point. Having spoken to the team, I think they've done a thorough job and needed report about efficiencies. I'd also rather a trusted auto source like WhatCar? do the report than someone like Which etc.
I have sympathy for those complaining about the EV only parking spaces in Knaresborough. Locating chargers is a tricky business partly because needs have evolved rapidly. My rule of thumb would be destination EV chargers should be in the least desirable spaces to avoid ICEing.
At this point shoppers won't want to charge because they can charge at home, and even when charging spreads to those without parking it will remain unpopular because the unit price will be much higher for daytime charging.
Exactly, but then it might not look like good PR for a council pushing EVs to undesirable places. It's a difficult balance I suppose. In this case I think they've moved far too quickly. 10 spaces is quite a lot!
