Yeah - this was my concern when I looked for my last car. The availability of charging stations is still not perfect everywhere, and in my case I use my car for when I do long trips out of the city, and just my feet/an electric scooter when inside.
So, went something efficient for now, but next vehicle I’d definitely like to consider an EV, so hopefully by then the network is larger. In Western Canada though, so distance between cities is pretty far.
Hopefully the tipping point comes soon in both countries. We’d planned to go EV next but it’s going to just depend on when ours needs replacing and what the state of charging is by then. Fingers crossed, anyway!
It’ll also be cool to see how solar tech goes over the next while too. If it starts incorporating into the vehicle exterior then parking in sunny lots might give enough for most folks daily commutes (10km or so range I’d say)

My natural reaction is to make a joke about the crap English weather but honestly, it’s been heating up here, you might be onto something.
