In a word, no. There are a few reasons behind this and i'll be short with them.
I live in London where my car lives on the street. We don't have set parking spaces so it's a free for all when parking on an evening. So how am i supposed to plug in, and if i do what's to stop someone just pulling the plug out?
Also the pathetic charge to mileage ratio. The Grand Tour illustrated this perfectly the other day when James May drove his I3 to Devon following Jeremy in his standard Golf. James stopped at 2 charging stations to find them out of service and when he did find one he was there for an hour while it got some charge back. You want to take an electric car across europe, that would take monumental planning!!!!!!
Also the Bmw still has petrol in it to power it's back-up generator.
And as someone rightly pointed out that the more we buy into this bull**************** the more drain on fossil fuels there is through the back door, pretty simple really.
We've seen the future in the Honda Clarity, that's the direction we need to head in. We really do need to stop buying into the electric bull**************** (Californians, i'm looking at you and your bloody Prius. A car proven to be more damaging to the environment due to it's manufacture process) and actually make a viable answer to a petrol substitute.
