Couple of days but I'm into it

- about 120-140mi range but we will probably only need to use that 2-3 times a year when we can use charging facilities anyway.

- 3-pin or type 1 charging seems fine for us. Garage is a long way from meter and panel so a dedicated charger isn't the best ROI.

- drives like a dream. We've had Golfs in the past and this feels no different but a bit nippier. Plenty of room for kids, dogs etc (coming from an estate)

1/n

- I've never downloaded so many apps so quickly in my life. We haven't even used a public charger yet but I *do not* want to be the guy faffing around with apps when he needs to charge

- Realised that even though our care came with a type 1 cable you really need a type 2 just in case for public chargers - An extra £120 spent

- Already signed up for an EV energy tariff that will cut charging costs to 1/3 overnight 👍

2/n

We're a single-car household so I'm really happy we could find an "affordable" EV so quickly that meets 99% of our needs and wants.

The current EV market is full of really naff design, sky-high costs and unsustainable vehicle sizes.

I'm glad that, for a while at least, we don't need to wade through the current "new" market
