Converting to EV, what do I need to know?

Afternoon all,

I tend to go to London once a week (from Birmingham) for work, and the obvious choice is to charge up at Oxford services.

Buy a LR. It will make it to London and back on a single charge.

Thanks all for the advice.

Thinking of a 69/20/70 reg Model 3.

I spend 3 days in London and 4 in Birmingham. (Work pay for my apartment in W.London)

I’d look to install a charger in my Birmingham home but unlikely to do so in London as it’s an apartment.

So will need to weigh up the costs/potential hassle of an EV.

Many thanks for your responses!!

Have you compared prices of used vs new? When I did at the start of the year it didn’t really save all that much, to the point where I decided buying new was probably worth it.

Collecting mine on Thursday.

Unlikely with a 4 day break between legs

I have considered, but the wait time is November this year so bit of a lead time…. + who knows if that’s the actual date it will be fulfilled given the situation we are in

Don’t drive whilst I’m in London, so may have a look into it…. Also benefit from privilege discounts
