Quite long

None

What are the standout technological features of the car?

Tell us something people wouldn’t readily know about your ID.7 Tourer

Best combination of quietness, comfort & performance – it’s fun!

What’s the biggest or funniest myth you’ve heard about EVs?

Scary reverse braking is so, so sudden! I once thought I’d hit a tree, I got out of the car and was 1m away. The driver in the car behind was killing himself laughing 🤣

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

Let’s wait and see if the government reduces all the company tax benefits; if they do, this will be my first and last EV.

Home charging unit

Ohme Home Pro

Electricity supplier & tariff

OVO Anytime

What public charging networks would you recommend to others and why?

Not enough experience. On one trip, three chargers weren’t working so I had to drive within 30 miles of range but found a brilliant fast charger in Campbelltown.
