Surprise us! Tell us something surprising about this car?
Driving around town and over 300 miles range is easily possible, which is significantly more than the quoted range.
What car are you interested in next and why?
No desire to change the car, I’m planning on keeping it for many years.
What home charging unit do you use? Would you recommend it to others and why?
Pod Point – I have had a couple of issues but they were dealt with satisfactorily by their support team.
What home electricity supplier & tariff do you use? Would you recommend it to others and why?
Avro – I change to whichever is the cheapest tariff when the annual fixed tariff expires. This has been Avro for several years now as they have had the best tariff. I would recommend them.
What public charging networks do you use? Would you recommend them to others and why?
I mostly use BP Pulse if available, as I have a subscription. Otherwise whatever is available. None of them can be guaranteed to be available/unblocked (ICE’d)/working, so can’t recommend any to be honest. There is a new Gridserve electric forecourt in Braintree, Essex which has over 20 chargers and is fairly priced, this is the only site I would recommend.
Who do you insure your EV with? Would you recommend them to others and why?
LV – they were the cheapest when I bought the car. I have no problem recommending them but pricing depends on many factors, including postcode.
