I’ve had a couple of electric cars over the last 5 years.
Here are 5 things that I’ve learned since I made the jump to one 👇🏽🧵

Most cars do over 200 miles per charge, and the ones that don’t can still do around 100 miles.
The average mileage a person drives in the U.K. is 19 miles.
There is no need to be concerned about range.
Most motorways have fast chargers, and by the time you go to the toilet/get refreshments, you’ll have enough charge to get where you’re going.
It’s not perfect, but it’s getting there.
I’ve lost count the amount of times I’ve been asked questions about my car over the years, how I live with it, how much it costs to run etc.
People are genuinely curious about them still.
Whilst they can be expensive up front (if new) you can save massively on fuel. I used to spend £90 a month on diesel, but now it costs me £20 doing the same mileage.
If you can find a deal, the savings make up for the price.
Since I bought my first EV in 2020, the cars are getting cheaper and the ranges are getting bigger. Build quality varies, but that is dependent on the brand (like any petroleum/diesel car).
Soon, they will all be the same price, regardless of fuel.
TL,DR :
• Don’t worry about range day to day.
•Charging infrastructure is better than you think.
•People want to learn about EV’s.
•They are cheaper to run than you think.
•Cars are getting cheaper with a longer range.
