  • Yep, we have an BEV and no off-street parking in Manchester, and have been BEV-only for 5 years. It has a ~220 mile range and it gets charged once a week at a rapid charger at our local Tesco while we’re doing the weekly shop - that is unless we’re going on a long journey but then not being able to charge at home doesn’t matter either. We’re lucky that there are plenty of rapid chargers near us (half a dozen within half a mile) where you can just plug in, walk home, have a cup of tea, walk back to it. It hasn’t been a problem at all.

    Kerbo are trying to get councils to agree to channels being cut in the pavement with a steel lid to let you charge at home: https://www.kerbocharge.com/ - I’m looking forward to Greater Manchester allowing this, as charging at home is MUCH cheaper than using public chargers.
