Why did you choose this car?
It most closely fitted my perceived requirements at the time I bought it.

 

Positives – List 3 or more reasons why you love this car?

  • Very cheap to run, free if I charge it from my solar panels
  • Very smooth and comfortable, making it very relaxing to drive
  • More performance than I could ever reasonably use!

 

Negatives – List 3 or more things that you really don’t like about this car?

  • Doesn’t have a place for a cabin tidy. As a result I accumulate rubbish in the car.
  • Wish it had a hatch-back
  • Can’t think of anything else I don’t like!!

 

Surprise us! Tell us something surprising about this car?
Regenerative braking means using only one foot to drive and it’s rather like riding a motorcycle and using the engine torque to slow down into corners.

 

What EV are you interested in next and why?
Possibly the Tesla Model Y or another Model 3!

 

What home charging unit do you use? Would you recommend it to others and why?
myenergi zappi2. Works well with my solar panels. Yes I would recommend it, it’s a great piece of kit.

 

What home electricity supplier & tariff do you use? Would you recommend it to others and why?
I’m on the Tesla Energy Plan from Octopus Energy. I would recommend it for the low-priced electricity and excellent export tariff.

 

What public charging networks do you use? Would you recommend them to others and why?
I use the Tesla Supercharger network. Nothing else comes close.

 

Who do you insure your EV with? Would you recommend them to others and why?
Direct Line gave me the best price both initially and on renewal. Never had cause to use their accident services but reports from others give me confidence. I would recommend them.
