You have a home charge point. Don’t you? Well, get one. There’s a grant, so it’ll cost you less than £500. If you don’t have a driveway, to get an overnight or allday recharge check zapmap.com for posts near home or work that give between 5kW and 7kW.
Always make sure that you know in advance the supplier for the post you want to use, and register on its app or get its dedicated RFID card.
Rapid (DC) chargers, at a slightly higher price, are best used for long trips, like you’d stop for fuel.
They take roughly as long as filling with petrol and having a full English.
In winter, keep plugged in until you drive away, as pre-warming the battery and cabin increases range. When possible, choose heated/cooled seats over cabin heating and aircon.
Try to drop your motorway speed by 10mph: it’ll hugely increase range, getting you there far more quickly if it avoids a recharging stop.
