Just thought I'd make a note of how it's going so far... well 22nd Sep I took delivery of my Electric car. Coincidentally my home charge point was also installed on the 22nd. Its been super easy to live with. Mild concern the other day. I'd set off in the morning without a full charge drove 36 miles to work. Then driving home I'm getting to 50plus pct charge on the A12 and I get caught up in a jam caused by a multi car shunt. So I'm sitting there 90mins looking at the power gauge and the est range figure and I'm concerned. Well turns out I used next to nothing extra false alarm. Got home with over 50pct remaining. Sadly the small car in the Transit sandwich we crawled past looked very bad indeed.

I read to maximise battery longevity, only charge when necessary and try to keep the level between 80pct and 20pct. So that's the goal. Some advice from the dealer or the manual would have been good.... Oh I recently checked the tyre pressures. The dealer had them at 48psi the manual says 36psi so lowered them. Seems smoother. Checked under the bonnet..not much to do there just top up the screen wash. Done 1100 miles next service 12000 so a way to go. All my charging has been at home so no issues with availability. Other than that it's been surprisingly easy . A neighbour has expressed a lot of interest and is thinking about doing this but hasn't a parking space near a power supply. So I guess the dynamics aren't as clear cut if you have to rely on public chargers. Work colleagues interested but think it'll be a few years yet before they consider a bev. Me I'm waiting for my first post car power bill !
