Ive been reading this forum intently over the last few days as I'm waiting for my 16 plate gx4h to be delivered to my local car supermarket. However, I'm worried that I'm making a mistake in getting a push and it's not going to be as economical as I'm expecting.
I have a 17 mile each way commute to work. Going to work is all downhill, some very steep, but then coming back up is bad. I can charge overnight from a 3 pin plug at home, but I can't charge at work at the moment. I often have to go out again to pick up kids from clubs but that's usually about 2 hours after I get home and charge.
I also then have a 99 mile trip on the weekends to our caravan but once there was can charge from the van.
I'm a little heavy footed, having a BMW 1 series sport currently but this is too small and I need a much bigger car.
I'm also worried about people saying about the MMCS and how complicated and annoying it is. All this is putting me off tbh!
Do you think I will save buying this car, obviously providing I drive it carefully!!
Can I charge the battery enough going downhill to have enough power to get home up the steep hills?
Thanks.
