Yep, drive somewhere. Park at a charger for a bit of a top up and free parking. Looks like authorities are slowly catching on and removing some of those freebies that EVs have though.

That's our plan if we ever get a car again (which will probably be an EV). There's a bunch of charging places within 400 yards of us and it's easy for me to do the logistics as I work from home. Drive up, set to charge, walk back home to work, monitor charging status, walk back and collect car when mostly done and park it up outside home.
With it just being used for 5-30 mile journeys most of the time (where public transport is not available or would take hours) it would only need charging every few weeks.
Having an EV won't make me drive more. When we had a car I still always walked to the local shops, it never occurred to me to drive. If we wanted a big supermarket shop we arranged a delivery (again, WFH helps in this regard).
Also helps that there's very little parking contention where we live, a few roads away and it is carnage.

I keep hearing on local groups of our neighbours driving more once they got an EV as it's 'so cheap' to run. EV's aren't exactly the solution wanted in London.
Need to push some cost on somewhere. Roll on pay per mile.
