A medium size dog weighs about 50 pounds. Think of fifteen of them!

If you hadn't written this I would have done. Agree completely.

If you're in the UK, especially England, then as long as you live or work pretty near to a public charge point, it can be very economical. I drive less than once every two days, but still charge up around a dozen times a month at free charging points, working out at an average cost of £0.65 for...

Try toggling between Auto and Manual in the bottom left hand corner.

Even slight slopes make a considerable difference. I always charge up to full unless there are exceptional circumstances. From a home or near-home charge to the next town, which is 14 miles away, I usually will only use about 40% of the charge in the battery, but even then I won't get back...

Very good! Did you charge up at the top?

Just revisiting this thread to report that I got my first ever real 32 miles range performances over an average of level ground last summer - when the temperatures in England were up towards 30 degrees and there was no wind. It seems a far cry from that now in January - lucky to get 25 miles...

A puzzle. I do most of my charging a mile from home in what turns out to be the first EV charging point in Shropshire. That one uses a Type 2 plug. I quite often have to go to Shrewsbury, where I can charge up at ASDA. ASDA has four parking spaces for two charging points, both of which have...

So it's going to cost £120 when four batteries go! Hmmph! I've found it useful to have this facility when the tyres lose pressure in a cold winter: I reckon they had dropped by about 5 psi.

36 miles is my best EV estimate. which usually drops to about 8 or 9 after the 14 mile drive home after (occasional) work, as there's a gradual climb of about 400 feet.. My best EV range has been 30 so far - on a few of those nice warm summer days. If I'm working on a day like that, I can get...

I only ask the co-driver to do that in extremis for that very reason. Instead, if I'm planning a route I write out a list of instructions so that I get the info I want. I'd rather hear my good wife's voice giving me those than Blandie!

I much prefer using a map to plan the journey and then checking traffic updates on the radio rather than using a satnav.

I've not managed to open my tailgate from the fob yet, so I'll try this tomorrow.

You'll even have room for a few large sacks of dog food if you push the rear seats down!

I bought my Type 2 cable from EV connectors and have had no problem with it - have you contacted them?

Best of luck, and keep us posted on here with how you get on with your new beauty!

Well, you learn something every day. ;)

So, 1500 km per month, or 18000 km per year. 52 Thursdays and 52 Sundays in most years - and roughly 170 km on each of those days. Always the same journey?

I would think it safe to assume that a dead level route will always give better fuel economy than an up-and-downer that starts and ends at the same altitude.
