Plenty sensible ones available with ranges of 300miles, which is my comfort point - enough to go most way to Edinburgh or Glasgow and then change my mind and come home again - which rules out the e-tron anyway for me.Assuming she'd been doing her usual run on Friday that could have been circa 80-100miles, and then on Sat the same, so 160miles of running.
Not sure what car, and what range we would have but my mate has a Audi Etron that claims 250miles, so taking that headline figure, given its -2°c, been snowy, and the cars going to have heater, demister, wipers on for both that days, what's the real life range? And Mrs FB ain't going to be running down under the 20% battery mark I'm thinking we'd be pretty much done.
We have a wind turbine here and annoyingly it can't run when there is power cuts, but otherwise having an electric battery car would work great for us and allow us an easy way of storing up the power produced, and make for really cheap motoring.
Not against battery cars, but I think the infrastructure/infrastructure planning is not there yet for everybody having one.
It will come but take a while.
For your situation this week, I could see a battery too up in the local town would have been easy enough too - assuming everyone else wasn’t doing the same of course. How widespread was/ is the outage?
