Is it possible to run an electriccar as your only car if you can't charge it from home? We tasked NeilBWinn with the job of finding out. After 2472 miles behind the wheel of a vauxhall MokkaE, here's what he's got to say...
You either have to hold a parking permit – which I don’t – so you can access the local lamppost chargers, or you have to pay sky-high charging rates to providers like Source London that charge by the minute, not the kW.
On the whole, I’ve found charging while on longer trips much easier due to an ever-improving motorway charging network. However, this also requires you to think ahead. For a start, it makes for a genuinely impressive city car. It might not be that much taller than a regular hatchback, but its seats are mounted quite high up, giving you decent visibility to the front and sides. And while over-the-shoulder visibility is hampered somewhat by a rising window line and chunky pillars, the standard fit rear parking sensors and rear-view camera make parking a relative breeze.
