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

The most amazing thing is how it drives. I think anyone from an ICE car that had a drive in this would be hooked. I can’t ever imagine going back and at the moment, I can’t see a better EV that I would trade for. I think given its age of design, all the faults are known and have been dealt with. I can’t say that for other brands just yet, however expensive they are.

What electric car(s) are you interested in next and why?

Maybe BMW or Porsche because of their exterior design and ride quality. However, their reliability needs to settle down a bit before I think of changing.

Home charging unit – outline both positive & negative elements

Ohme Pro – when it works, it’s great! At the moment I am having problems when away from the car for anytime but their help response is good. It is a complicated system and tends to fight with the car. Hopefully, I will eventually get to grips with it.

Electricity supplier & tariff – outline both positive & negative elements

We are on OVO ‘Charge Anytime’ – only just switched but looks OK so far. However, it’s not easy to see savings on the bill, it could be more transparent.
