Why did you choose this car?
Looks very nice and not an obvious electric car by the look of it. Very cheap to run (£7 for 160 miles range, would be cheaper but not on a cheap overnight tariff at the moment). Fun to drive and the instant acceleration is really nice!

The Hyundai IONIQ 5, as it’s got good range and looks really nice.
What home charging unit do you use? Would you recommend it to others and why?
zappi – highly recommend to others as it looks nice and it’s reliable. Also hooked up to my solar panels so can charge directly via them or do a mix of solar and energy from the grid. Can set it to charge for certain times too via an app on my phone.
