I've done a lot of research and I'm totally sold on the Model S and the whole ethcis of the Tesla company and Elon Musk. He is an amazing guy and I have a lot of respect for him.
I live in London and most of my journeys are local 5 to 15 miles journeys. I rarely do more than 50 miles in a week (total) except for occasional longer journey's to my parent's house to Northampton which is about 80 miles away. I live in a rented house. I'm not keen on getting a charging port installed there but with my usual local journey's, I think I could get away with charging from a 3-pin UK mains socket over night each day. And on days I need to juice up more, I could go to one of the many London superchargers. When I go to Northampton, there is conveniently a supercharger station right off the motoroway junction I'd come off.
I'm only in rented house for abot a year but then plan to buy my own property where I will be able to install a home charger.
Do you think this could work based on my journey's? I'm currently using a BMW 525 diesel saloon which is 58 plate. It doesn't meet the criteria for the ultra low emission zone in London so I've been thinking of going electric for a while. Even a Nissan Leaf would be fine for my local London journey's but I'd struggle to do the longer journey back to Northampton.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
