Electric Motoring - London to Glasgow

COP26: How easy is it to drive from London to Glasgow using an electric car?

Cars are one of the four areas Boris Johnson has promised action on at COP26 but with more and more people making the switch to electric, how good is the current infrastructure?

I’ve been attracted to the idea of an electric car for decades – well before Clive Sinclair’s disappointing C5. Yet in spite of the hype, old problems still seem to be waiting for major technical advances.

I was driving a Kia e-Niro, a family SUV with a range of about 275 miles. With the map telling me it was 400 miles to the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow city centre, I reckoned two charges should see me through.

As the article makes clear, those two charges were more problematic than expected. Our 4×4 would take us there and halfway back on a single tank of diesel.

Most of the time an electric car would work for us because most of our journeys are short, but electric cars are expensive and don’t do everything our diesel does. I’m not convinced they ever will and I’m pretty sure nobody else really expects them to. In the longer term it’s public transport for the likes of us.

A pessimistic conclusion perhaps, but to my mind the political games being played, particularly games such as COP26, they certainly do not inspire confidence in a mobile electric future comparable to the mobility and freedom we have now. Or maybe that should be the mobility and freedom we had a few decades ago.
