It appears that the EVHS grant will be removed this time next year and re-directed to the rental and leasehold side of the domestic sector. It will be interesting to see the effects of this on the private owner side. If the intent of government is to retain so-called smart charger roll-out then the cheaper dumb chargers will have to be outlawed! With the grant of only £350, clients already see the dumb chargers as a viable option.
Silly me - I thought that vans were allowed to do 85 mph. ?
There is a similar thread running in a motoring forum to which I belong except that the emphasis there is on cost. The break-even point seems to be around 20,000 miles/year, but if you can only do 100 a day and with 220 working days in a year (allowing for annual leave, CPD, sick leave, etc.) that seems difficult to achieve.
I don't suppose that many employers will want their staff spending 1/2 hour charging up and of course with motorway prices, the break even point changes.
For me, two things have to change before I get an EV.
(1) the price differential
(2) I do not believe that the earthing/broken neutral situation has been addressed adequately for those with a TN supply.
