Just a thought.

Massively cheaper than the petrol or diesel equivalent I would expect.

We did over 650 miles last week in our MGEV and using service station chargers it cost us less than £50.

Darn it, that was going to be my next question.

It just seems the government are now putting walls up that make it less attractive to go EV, I like to enjoy my motoring, sitting around in a service station for however long certainly isn't enjoyment, I also like putting my foot down without having range anxiety.

Around 35 minutes charging each time. Enough time for a coffee and a nice wee stretch and walk around.
Very refreshing and ended up I wasn't tired from the driving.
Would happily do it again, especially as more and more chargers are being installed.
No range anxiety, really enjoyed the drive

As of today putting your foot down will over ride th new cars speed restrictor (All fitted with one from July 6th) but i guess th insurance company will be made aware of everyones antics in th future.

No new car for me. Far too attached to my old ones. Just got to keep them going as long as possible. Had my share of new cars in my thirties. I don't fancy a spy in the car approach to motoring.
