I guess this is kind of similar to all the advice about ICE cars and how to get the most life out of them. Things like never letting the fuel tank get too low (so you didn't get gunk in the fuel filter), not revving the engine too much until it had recached working temperature etc etc.
I expect electric cars will be treated with the same range of care as ICE cars with some owners doing as much as possible to look after them and others just using them as a tool for transportation.
100% agree, people will treat them no different to how they treat ICE cars
It’s been said on these forums, how many people buy a new car whether it be petrol/diesel or an EV & even read the manual?
How many have got the time, patience to follow every recommendation to the letter?
I talked to a neighbour recently, he has an MG ZS EV, at the time I spoke to him it had just under 7000 miles. He can’t have a home charger & said when him & wife go on the weekend shopping trip, whatever his battery % is on, he sticks it on a fast charger & mostly charges it to 100%, he’s had no issues
Now I’m ( was ) due to have a home charger installed April/May but we are moving next February to a new home which has a driveway & garage. I might as well save the money on having a charger installed now & part of garden concreted over, the money saved will cover the public charging costs until we move next year. By then my car will probably be on around 5000-6000 miles, I’m sure it will survive on 50kw public chargers until then
Have said all that, there’s always people who treat cars like crap. Have the car 2-3 years & already scrapes on it, probably never check oil/water etc until they get a warning light telling them to.
