What electric car(s) are you interested in next and why?
I am not.
Home charging unit
myenergi zappi – it’s OK but we do have some ‘out of range’ voltage issues.
Electricity supplier & tariff
Octopus Intelligent Go – has been great.
What public charging networks would you recommend to others and why?
Tesla – as they are cheaper.
Insurance
Quotes appear expensive for a vehicle of this value. Maybe because they are so difficult to obtain parts for.

My 15-year old Mercedes E-Class estate is overall much cheaper to run when you consider depreciation.
