Positives 

The power and handling.

Negatives

Range not the best but as I’m an older driver who needs to stop every 2-2.5 hours for a toilet break, I charge when I stop.

Compared to when you first bought the car, does your battery still charge at the same rate & do you still get the same range?

Same rates, no degradation.

Have you experienced any faults with the car? If so, what have they been?

No issues.

What are the standout technological features of the car?

The Google interface is excellent and easy to use.

The power, as all that signifies it’s a 350kW EV is the badge on the bottom of the front doors. Getting away from traffic lights is fun!

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

Polestar 5 ideally, as it’s the next generation EV but it’s too big and expensive. So more realistically, a Polestar 4 AWD.

Home charging unit

Pod Point – plug and charge, no issues.

Electricity supplier & tariff

EDF Pod Point EV tariff – No issues and their app is great, 7 hours cheap rate, it’s the best.

Insurance

Admiral – no issues.

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

• Tesla, Be.EV & Arnold Clark – good for price and convenience
• I avoid the more expensive ones – InstaVolt, Osprey, bp pulse, Shell or GRIDSERVE.
