When you turn off Eco mode it drives like a racing car and the road handling is incredible! Also, the steering lock is incredible, you can do a U turn practically anywhere!

What home electricity supplier & tariff do you use? Would you recommend it to others and why?
I’m with Octopus, I hear they do special deals for home charging but I don’t have one. However, Octopus is excellent and they do have a thing with ‘Electric Juice’ where I can use a charger and have it billed to my home energy bill; great for those who don’t have home chargers.

What public charging networks do you use? Would you recommend them to others and why?
I mostly use Chargemaster aka bp pulse and Pod Point. Both work well, occasionally the chargers play up depending upon where I am but most of the time I can use my nearest bp pulse charger without any trouble.
Who do you insure your EV with? Would you recommend them to others and why?
Admiral – reasonable price.
