EV Owners thoughts please

Hi Guys,
I currently have a 54 mile daily commute give or take a few. The local car-park where I have a permit currently has an EV charging spot, although they state max charge time of 4 hours.
At home, there is no designated parking for the residents however as there is only 4 vehicles (2 of which are mine and OH) is not feasible to run a charging wire to the car (crossing pavement etc) We have a front garden which will be converted to a driveway in the near future after which charging will not be an issue, but does anybody else have a similar situation with their EV?
There is literally only one charging point in the whole commute (A & B roads) and that is at the car park.
Would you stay with the ICE or branch out to EV?
Thanks

54 miles is easily within range for the Zoe and Leaf, they will do 100 miles on one charge so unless you have a massive detour range will not be an issue.
Think someone on here has been offered a decent finance deal on the Leaf and Zoe deals are about £150 pcm for 12k miles per year.
If my annual mileage was 12k I would be driving an EV definitely.

Maybe if you drive like Miss Daisie, but in the real world of 'making progress', heating/aircon, British weather, you'll only see around 80 miles max of true range in mixed driving from either car.
As long as you can top up at destination, should you ever need to, you should be fine.
