You've nailed it @steevc - with the cancellation of the government grant, and the massive price spike of rapid charging here in the UK, there's a huge amount of push back going on these days (even though the government are still pushing zero emissions) It's being caught between a rock and a hard place if you have or have had an EV now, and have to charge it. Unless you have a wall box at home, it's just not viable.
It's going to be interesting to see where Omoda UK go over the next year. As they are a subsidiary of Chery, they've got massive backing, and the fact that they've launched at the same time their dealer network is in place, and the first consignment of customer cars have rolled off the dock in Southampton means they are hitting the ground running.
Isn't it nice to see common sense in an entity as large as a new UK car brand??
