The reality of electric cars, in my eyes anyway.

Electric car battery capacity is usually measured in kilowatt-hours. It’s the electric car equivalent to the size of the fuel tank in a petrol or diesel car.

• Battery Size = 73kWh
• Power of Wallbox Charge: 7kW
• Time to Fully Charge = 73 / 7 = 10 hours 25 mins 
• If you have a car with a fast charging facility like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 the amount of time can be reduced dramatically unfortunatelly the cost to recharge the car depends on the speed of the charger. For example, charging at home using a 7kW AC wallbox would cost around 18p per kWh, the average rate for electricity. 
• However, 50kW DC and 150kW DC chargers cost much more, starting at 32p and 38p per kWh respectively and the ultimate ultra-rapid 350kW charge costs 69p per kWh. So a 73kWh battery charged at home takes 10 hrs 25 mins and costs £18.70 or if you want a really fast charge in 20 mins or so it will cost £50.37 
• The Hyundai Ioniq 5 (£42,485) boasts between 240 and 298miles and has covered 270 miles in real world tests so it should make it from Luing to Glasgow and back (approx 210 miles) if the temperature is optimal. Driving an EV on a cold day (-6 degrees celsius) without switching on the cabin heater or any other heated components reduces the range by 12%. The optimal range of driving temperatures is 20-27 degrees celsius. So in the winter, if you wear Long Johns, thermal vest and heaps of clothes so you are not using the heater, it is still possible as the range will now be about 237 miles. You will have to have a short day in the city right enough so you dont use your lights and better listen to itunes on your phone rather than the car player. 
• If you dont make it home before the battery goes flat you are in luck the AA can help, if you are signed up for their breakdown assistance they can tow you to Tesco in Oban who have a 50kWh charger. It might be a wee wait for them to come and for the charger to do its stuff but hey you are saving the world and at least the car ferry runs 24 hours, ok that was a joke, you are not saving the world and the car ferry doesnt run 24 hours.

According to  the michelin route planner it would cost me £53 to drive my Nissan the same route, I would still have 383 miles left in the tank, I could have the heater, CD and lights on and not have to worry signing up for AA assistance and I'd make the ferry. Sounds like a no brainer to me, especially as I dont believe Greta and Al Gore as far as I could throw them.
