Tell us something surprising about this car
There is loads of storage under the boot floor if you take out the redundant polystyrene trays and you can fit an aftermarket frunk.
What EV are you interested in next and why?
Skoda ENYAQ – bigger cheaper and designed as an EV from the ground up.
Home charging unit
Granny charger and an extension lead with a cable protector across the pavement, which is safe if you know what you are doing.
Electricity supplier & tariff
Pure Planet cheaper and greener including the gas and since I can only granny charge at 10 amps I need it be the same rate all day.
What public charging networks do you use? Would you recommend them to others and why?
Depends on the most convenient stop for rapid charger if I do a long journey.
Insurer
Churchill – seemed good value.
