20-80% charge at a 150kw charger would take no more than 20 minutes, I suspect you don’t have an EV…😂 In the UK there is the ball-ache of unhitching in many locations, not so much an issue on the continental who are set up for this (especially on the peage in France) |

Range anxiety is a thing those without EV’s obsess about, rarely those with. |

The original thread refered to towing with an ev where range anxiety i feel would be the number one concern, unless you only travel locally when towing.

Quite, but you added in about people driving slowly in EV’s and linking that to a range anxiety - unless you were specifically referring to those towing which, as the speed limit on motorways is 60mph, you’d expect so isn’t really a point.

So going from 20-80% is a 60% increase in charge, so if you have an EV with say a 150 mile range towing a caravan, you're arrival at the services, unhitching, drive to the charge points, assuming there is no queue, 20 mins charging, if it works and it's a super fast job, go back and hitch up, will get you a further 90 miles at best. I think I'd rather be towing with my old 6 litre Jag, even that would manage 250 miles to a tank and could be refilled in less than 7 minutes at any petrol station.

However for most business travellers who go up and down the length of the country, it's a constant issue. Probably 2 out of 3 times when I meet colleagues at a site, where they charged and how close they came to walking has overtaken the weather as to the ice breaking conversation.

But it’s the negative side to me doing 22k miles a year and only having to hit a forecourt a dozen times Last edited by Frank Bullitt; Jun 12th, 2023 at 20:35. |
