Bear with me I’m new to this EV stuff…..
How fast is the Ubtricity charger and what does it cost?
My local one is 5kwh and 45p off peak 79p on peak (16:00-19:00) per kw with 35p log on fee. So I’d only get 19 miles range per hour charging and peak rate is more expensive than petrol.

When we first got ours it took over 3 months to get a home charger fitted. We don't drive it heavily (no commuting) and survived fine with a combination of lidl, tesco and streetlight charging.
Lidl had fast charging so an hour left there gave a good fill.
One of the Tescos (not very near) had free charging so worth having while doing a big shop.
Streetlight ones are slow but good for an overnight.
Public charging is much more expensive than home charging - and the faster, the more expensive - worth checking around on zapmap to see what options there are nearby. At our use level it worked fine with an occasional bit of planning ahead needed. If you were wanting to charge every couple of day it would be more of a pain.

A Nissan Leaf on NHS salary sacrifice scheme 3 year inclusive lease with an Ubitricity bollard charger 5 doors down and Lidl rapid charger 500m away.
What could go wrong?
