Yes, I do get that they aren't for all for one reason or another. I still find driving it a pleasure, and I expect many would be pleasantly surprised. The public charging can be a bit of a mare so if I were dependent on regular public charging I'd be thinking again, but there are new charge points popping up all the time, in quite large numbers I understand.
I had the Ampera (PHEV) for a couple of years before going fully EV, that was a useful intro for me.
Btw I'm pretty sure you can, in theory at least, now get a SMETS 2 smart meter on three phase (- is that the same as poly phase?) and therefore get the Octopus EV rates. I'm sure I read about it on the Octopus forums. Other brands may also be available!! :-)
