They must have heard the calls of people saying a subscription wouldn't be worth it anymore!

I replaced my 56 reg BMW X3. The lease costs me almost exactly the amount I used to spend on just Diesel each month! A real no-brainer. Plus I anticipate that some expensive parts might fail in the near future... The ZS EV is my first ever brand new car. I'm used to second hand rust buckets, so...

Received an email this morning that BP Pulse are increasing their prices from 10th June 2021. 8p jump for the 50kW Rapids! I just hope my free trial actually starts in time for me to do at least one 15p charge :ROFLMAO:

I set it off twice yesterday on my first long-ish drive, I clearly approach stationary traffic far too fast :ROFLMAO: Lesson learned!

I'd also really love to see the Adaptive Cruise use regen braking wherever possible. Then cruising would be bliss.

I bit the bullet and just went straight for the lease, absolutely loving it so far! Hoping to plug in OVMS this weekend and then put to proper test next week on my 80 mile round trip commute.

Let us know how it goes! Successful trips like this in an EV should reassure anyone about range. I haven't converted just yet, taking my first hire soon, but I personally love the idea of an enforced stop every ~90 minutes on a mammoth journey like this. Fresh air, a stretch of the legs and/or...

Thanks for this, it is going to come in very helpful!

Beautiful photo! Let us know how you get on.

That's fantastic! I can't wait to get my one on trial this week.

I notice you said that video was a test with no additional weight. Has anybody noticed a significant range reduction while carrying a full car of people and stuff?

I have just begun a subscription with Elmo for the ZS EV, expecting delivery Friday 7th May and I am very excited! I've gone for the exclusive model, sadly only the blue was left because I think I prefer the red. Looking to trial it on the subscription with the aim of starting a lease if all...
