Now that BEVs routinely do 500km/300 miles on a full charge, range anxiety should be a thing of the past.

In my previous occupation i’d burn that on one site visit and have you tried finding a charger away from home ?? At the height of my freelance career it would gave been quite impossible as most of the rollouts to site were twice that and lots of others on the motorway with me were equally long range. Yes today there’s more home / remote working. Thats about tbe only way EV’s will work. |

Well you need to try a bit harder next time with your all British Britishvolt. One tip, if I may suggest, is don't make your chief battery scientist some trendy young girl graduate with a couple of years work experience in a different field. She might be good in bed, but no good at making batteries. |

That's about the time it takes me to have a cup of tea and a smoke. You really do not want to drive 1000 km without a break anyway. |

You're obviously referring to something from China, but as far as I'm aware the state of the art in the real world at the moment is the 250kW Tesla Supercharger network which can deliver up 200 miles/300 km range in 15 minutes. After that the charge rate slows down and it could take another hour to reach 100%.
The difference is of course that the Superchargers really exist not just on Youtube.

Thank god you said that, I've just spend nearly an hour trying to plug my car into a youtube channel  |

You wont find it on the BBC of course. They only print war and failure.
These ones are water-cooled and announced via a company press release. They are expected to start installing them next year. The 1000km batteries have been available for some time, but now the battery manufacturer is selling the integrated system, i.e. battery, plus motors and drive electronics all in one sub assembly. The car manufacturer just has to put wheels on it and the top part. This means higher volume manufacturing can be achieved and faster turnaround for new models. It's just one more innovation where the Chinese got there before the world leading Brits.

They could do, you'd need to click on from the link.
It's worth noting though that company cars are much less common in general on the continent than they are in the UK. The USA too for that matter where they're practically non-existent.
