Hi Ian. Good to hear from you.
 The EV comes into it's own on short journeys (less than 200 miles) which is 90% of my time. Anything over 200 miles does require careful planning and even this can go pear shaped when the intended charger location is full or out of use. I've got a couple of trips this week each of about 140 miles. In all probability I'll use the Porsche for one of them simply to give it a run out.
I can imagine that living in rural Australia isn't the place for an EV especially when you are great travellers. Steve xx
