In ‘tom’s guide’ on 10th April 2021, Tom Pritchard wrote a piece about his experience with a Nissan Leaf on a 250 mile round trip for his brother’s wedding. It makes for an eye opening read as he says “Needless to say that car sucked up power like the worst gas-guzzler. And it started pretty much straight away.”
“I picked a service station 74 miles into the journey, and figured half an hour would be more than enough time to give my battery the necessary pick me up. What I didn’t count on was the fact the Leaf’s range estimate doesn’t account for the fact I’d be driving at 70 miles per hour, the speed limit on British motorways.”
“It’s a good thing I’d already planned out my recharge break in advance, because that battery hit the 20% mark a couple of minutes before I reached the station. My car claimed that would only have taken me an extra 33 miles, though I imagine it would have been less considering how my power reserves had been depleting.”
Going electric sounds more like going out of business to me??
