Spring has sprung and summer is coming ( I've already spotted the grockles on the A47 !).

Before MG Rover went into administration, I remember seeing a hybrid electric MG tf at the motor show - mock-up? Sorry can’t remember what year that was I saw the hybrid and concluded had MGR survived we would be seeing an electric Rover 75. The Rover 75 and MG ZT remains an attractive and visually appealing car in my humble opinion, so do enjoy yours.

Kia sells electric 4x4’s in Kenya even though there is no infrastructure to support them. I wouldn’t have a clue what sort of repairs and maintenance is needed.

Nothing preventing you doing home maintenance on electric vehicles.
