97% of EV drivers wouldn’t go back to petrol or diesel. So when someone says “my mate went back to diesel” or “my neighbour had an EV, he sold it and got a petrol”… The chances are, they’re making it up. An overwhelming majority of electric car drivers are happy with their vehicle, and Britain's charging network, data shows. The latest annual EV charging survey by the charging point finder Zapmap took in the views of EV drivers, and found that 88% were satisfied with their car. This was up one per cent on 2024. In the same vein, the number of EV drivers who want to switch back to internal combustion engine vehicles remains low and static at just 3% - the same as last year. This year’s satisfaction with the public charging experience is higher than in 2024 as well. EV owners rated the pubic charging network 69 out of 100, an increase of five points from last year.

@JordanEVGuy I am happy overall, but there are still lies told about EV range. My Renault Scenic 87kW is supposedly 379 miles...then they tell you to only charge to 80% to avoid battery damage. You still expect 260 miles though, right? WRONG - try 180! I have to plug in every night!

@LoopingDaLoop @JordanEVGuy 180 miles plus charging time. So a trip of 3-4 hours becomes 4-5 hours.

@LoopingDaLoop @JordanEVGuy Usually take wltp and remove 20%, my niro states an average of 15kwh, today did it as I was only doing B roads average speeds of 70km/h, but motorway is always close to 20kwh or around 300km when charged to 90%...

@LoopingDaLoop @JordanEVGuy I have a Tesla Model 3 LR. I charge it to 80% to limit battery degradation and for daily driving. But there's no issue charging to 100% when you need the range. What you really want to avoid is charging to 100% and leaving it like that for extended periods of time.

@LoopingDaLoop @JordanEVGuy Have you read the claims for ICE mag from manufacturers?

@LoopingDaLoop @JordanEVGuy Those optimum ranges are only available in ideal conditions therefore they are only valid in those circumstances.... Buyer beware. No battery likes the cold and when you have to heat the battery in winter reduced range is to be expected.

@LoopingDaLoop @JordanEVGuy Yea that and and the fact that most people can’t charge overnight at home.

@LoopingDaLoop @JordanEVGuy You know that mileage can only go down with degradation of the batteries. It will never go up.
