Why did you choose the Mustang Mach-E?
As a pensioner, its SUV characteristics (height) make it easy for entrance and exit. Mercedes couldn’t guarantee me delivery in under a year!

Home charging unit – outline both positive & negative elements
bp pulse – I had to have it replaced after 9 months of use. Their latest, more ‘up-to-date’ charger was supplied and fitted without cost to me. Unfortunately, it was not recorded/allocated to me, so for nine months I could not access it on the bp App. This came to a head when (nine months after installation) it stopped working.
On contacting bp pulse they discovered the error! Having now got access to the charger, my ‘IT expert’ was able (in around an hour) to reconfigure the charger and link it correctly to my wi-fi hub. bp pulse hadn’t told me that the new charger was dependent on wi-fi!! This corrected the malfunction. Their advice was correct but took around 10 days, a little long to supply. Not recommended!
Electricity supplier & tariff – outline both positive & negative elements
SSE – their service is good. Economy 7 supplied, therefore I have the supply at a reduced cost between 2am and 9 am when I charge my car (on its timer)! Recommended. Almost all of my charging is done at home!!
Insurer – outline both positive & negative elements
AXA Insurance – reasonably priced and good customer care. I haven’t had to claim so I have no negative comments.
