EVs when the temperature drops.

I agree to some extent but just feel that there are a lot of people out there who could afford an EV but refuse due to a ridiculous notion about range. My FIL is a perfect example, he does very few miles but religiously tops off his tank every weekend as seems to need the comfort blanket of a 500 miles of range despite rarely venturing further than 20 miles from home. I have pointed out he's just lugging around a load more weight than he needs to (50kg or so) but he'll never change.

LOL - & let's be honest, the older generation are the ones who can more easily afford an EV (I know, bit of a generalisation!), and are most likely to have the space and home to have a charge-point deployed

Let’s be really honest. It’s all a bit of a generalisation.
