Why did you choose this car?
I love the look of the ZS and found that the options are limited to two models. I chose the Exclusive which is the top end of the two. It has everything you could need on an EV, heated seats and a tilting sunroof are both things that I use often to regulate temperature and save on power consumption. The car provides on average 150 miles of genuine charge, more in the summer and less in the winter. I don’t exceed 50 miles per day and gain enough charge overnight on my home charger.

Surprise us! Tell us something people wouldn’t readily know about this car.

What home electricity supplier & tariff do you use? Would you recommend it to others and why?
Octopus Go Faster – I load all my electric use onto the off-peak rate which saves a lot. I would not recommend them as I believe the tariff I’m on has changed a lot and I’ve not had a chance to review the changes.
