You guys can get NIOs as well now - the ET5/ET7 look awesome to me.
After a depressing trip to York at the weekend, I concluded that the UK is nowhere near ready for EV usage, especially if not Teslas. The problem is that there are quite a few around, but the non-Tesla chargers can be very thin on the ground, are generally very slow and often don't work. It strikes me that the companies that run these networks are really in the business of milking grants, and have no interest in operating a functioning service (fees from selling electricity are boring).
I had hoped to get a good top up at the Premier Inn in Pontefract (which I have used before) but 2 other cars (Ioniq and iPace) had beaten us to them. Mind you, it was a somewhat Pyrrhic victory, as the unit had conked out - as is its wont.
York University main campus has precisely zero EV chargers, with a pair in Campus East (neither of which have worked in the last few weeks). The nearby park and ride chargers are operated by BP, who (surprise, surprise!) seem to relish pissing off those who don't buy petrol. I did make it to the Instavolt chargers at McDonalds and just beat a Hyundai to the last available charger where I waited while it trickle-charged at 37kW. I was under the impression that the Instavolt/McDonalds partnership was going to largely consist of 100kW units, but that was just the press release! All in all a very sorry story over here.
