Yeh its not every week. Just most holiday periods so maybe 5 or 6 times a year at the most.
Normally I just do it all in one trip without stopping but I probably wouldn't mind a 45 minute stop to get a coffee or something.
I truly hope there is a breakthrough that makes over 300 miles a charge (even in the winter) realistic for the average EV car. Would be amazing.
I have a private drive running right next to the wall of my house so charging and getting an ev point installed would be no issue. Its literally only the range that I'm worried about, and I think that would only ever bother me infrequently .
Most recommend staying away from the leaf unless it’s really cheap or you’ll not be stuck with it for a long period of time (including gen1 leaf owners).
It’s a really old car, that has been tarted up a bit and a large battery pack added.
The main issue with the leaf are the fundamentals are still the same as when it launched in 2012 (chademo, air cooled batteries etc.) and they are not up to standard in 2021.
It really doesn’t go very far given the size of the pack and it was considered to be pretty expensive for what it offered.
That said, if you can get a good deal over a short pcp/lease it might be worth looking at.
