Nine miles per kWh. Marvellous. Now try it on my street: no driveway, no charger, one cable strung from a lamp post across the pavement like a tripwire. A third of the kerbside points dead since spring. Motorway services: four working chargers, forty cars, a man weeping into a lukewarm pasty. The car is magnificent. The country it’s sold in is a skip fire.
