Having replaced our diesel car with a fully electric Hyundai Ioniq 5, I wanted to talk through some of the things people warned me about before going fully electric and what it's really like in reality. Things like range, charging speeds and the inability to travel long distances.
00:00 Introduction
00:50 #1 "You're always going to be worried about range"
02:50 #2 "You're going to be spending most of your time waiting for your car to charge"
08:18 #3 "Long car journeys are impossible with electric cars"
12:44 #4 "There are so many apps it's so confusing"
