That is so stupid it hurts.

We took her 'useless' 80mi range for a 350mi day trip in the mountains this summer while the petrol car got repaired.

Sure it meant a few stops at fast chargers, +60mi in 15mins for quick stops.

We had 3 meals at places with chargers so it got 3 full charges while we ate.

It was still a great day out despite taking longer than it would in the petrol car.
