Depends on use - but we have not used anything other than the home charger since before Christmas...   How much range do you need ?? - we're doing less than 100km per day and charge over night at home.

 

 

Oh, my BYD Atto with a 60.5KWH battery is rated at NEDC 480Km/WLPT 420km....and I can get 420Km real world range with ECO driving.  It's a lot more than I need for day-to-day driving....and needing to charge once on a long trip is not a big deal. 

 

HOWEVER, BUT, I would like to have an EV with approx 750Km real world range. Do I really "need" an EV with such a range?  No.   But do I "want/desire" such an EV?  Yes.       And I would like to have a full size SUV EV with that save 750Km range....heck, I would even settle in the interim for a 500Km real world range on a full size SUV such as a Fortuner size.   

 

And EVs with significantly longer range will pretty much kill-off a main reason lots of people don't buy an EV---range anxiety.   EV sales will surge!!
