AN EV driver is fuming because he can never find a free charger for his car – and the cost is becoming ridiculously expensive.
TikTok user @iamdollard said there are not enough charging points – and some EV drivers don’t bother moving their car when it’s fully charged.

He believes buying an EV is a waste of money, and it’s impossible to charge his car daily.
He started the video by saying: “If you are thinking of buying an electric car, don’t bother, don’t do it. Save your money.
“The infrastructure is not here. The app tells you that the machine is available, and you get here, and it is not.
“There are two d**k heads who have probably been here overnight. Do you see this green flashing light?
“It would indicate that the cars are fully charged, so, yeah, they’ve probably been here overnight and they’ve just left their cars there.
“Their cars are fully charged, and no one else can use them because they’re just now using them as parking spaces.
“But then a ‘stupid’ app will tell you, oh, the car is available. Go ahead.
He also believes that charging an electric car has become too expensive.
He continued: “It used to cost around three to £4 to charge it. Guess how much it costs now?
“It costs £40 to £50 to charge your car. So yeah, don’t bother, don’t bother.
“The infrastructure is simply not here, don’t bother getting an EV.”
People were quick to comment on the video.
One said: “Electric cars only work if you have a home charger and stay local.”
Another said: “So the issue is not electric cars? The issue is people and not foot infrastructure!!!”
A third pointed out: “This is the unspoken truth. Electric cars are impractical at the moment.”
