Quite right I think. There was a report on Wales Today about the lack of fast charging points around Wales. They showcased a chippy from Welshpool who bought an electric van and it has severely impacted his business due to the range in that terrain.

Charging points will be like broadband / mobile phones. Nothing in the middle of Wales until government pays for them.

Get the Caddy, 1.6 TDi in my Seat deals with hills not problem, even loaded up with 3 blokes and cycling gear in the Pyrenees.
