Tell us something surprising about this car
It warns you when you switch it off if you’ve left your phone on the wireless charging mat!
What car are you interested in next and why?
Not thinking of the next car yet really but the electric VW camper van may be very tempting.
Home charging unit
zappi – yes, especially if you have PV – has a great app and is very easily configurable for different charging patterns on different days.
Electricity supplier & tariff
Octopus Go tariff – definitely recommend as a great company and decent rates, especially if you have an EV for cheap overnight charging.

Don’t use much but when I have I find Instavolt really good and easy to use.
Insurer
Aviva – not really had to use them much – hope it stays that way!
