Previous experience of many VWs gave me the confidence that an electric Golf would be good.

  • Practical.

Surprise us! Tell us something surprising about this car?
It’s a stealth EV.

Lexus UXe . Had a CT200h, excellent quality and great customer service. Expect Lexus’s 1st EV to be very good.

 

What home charging unit do you use? Would you recommend it to others and why?
Rolec smart wallpod. It’s hopeless, I don’t recommend it. Smart functions are unreliable and customer service is dire.

Octopus Go – let’s me charge off peak and low carbon at 1p a mile.

 

What public charging networks do you use? Would you recommend them to others and why?
Instavolt is my first choice, total reliability.

 

Who do you insure your EV with? Would you recommend them to others and why?
LV – great price and as far as I know it’s the only EC-specific policy on the market.
