Wow, the clearly city/urban-centric point of view of so many here, who seem to have the usual townie attitude that the countryside is just the place where they can go to play with their expensive toys, then retreat back to the all-encompassing luxuries or their comfy urban lifestyles.
How very bloody patronising and condescending!
Christ, it’s often difficult to find a conventional filling station after a certain time of night, there’s nothing between Bristol and Chippenham on the A420 after around 11pm, for example, which is roughly thirty miles, a great many people live and work in small villages well off the main routes, with zero access to public transport, in many villages there’s only on-street parking well away from residents homes, so any kind of plug-in electric car is a non-starter; for example a former work colleague lives in a small cottage at the top of a narrow footpath, his car is parked on the main road through the village wherever he can find a space, which might be a hundred yards away! Many local villages, like Biddestone, don’t even have street lights, let alone somewhere to plug in a car, because the houses are either well away from from the road, or there’s nowhere to park a car nearby, so what the actual **** are all those millions of people supposed to do?
