I charge my vehicle at home which is fine and I tend to plan my route so that
00:04
I can always charge my vehicle at home. I have done some long-distance routes to
00:10
the airport and things like that where we've stopped at services to charge the
00:14
car and it's become a bit more difficult than I thought because there's
00:19
potentially only four or five fast chargers at the services and you've got
00:23
a queue of potentially seven or eight cars that are waiting for these chargers.
00:27
I think whilst you're at work and overnight that's fine but if you're doing any long
00:30
distance and that can be a problem particularly when you're trying to find
00:33
a charger and find that it's out of order so it's not as easy as a petrol
00:38
that you can turn up and then at least get a can of petrol.
00:40

00:46

00:53
electric cars or any devices will be better in the future.
