Think: Heavy rain at motorway speeds..... The car is waterproof..

Once my GOM prediction goes below 10 miles, I get a blank, and an itchy feeling below...:)

Driving below 60mph on a motorway is a dangerous, IMHO. It causes all sorts of chaotic reactions by other drivers suddenly catching up with you, and having to take avoiding action. Personally, I try and do 65mph, but often speed up to 70mph if there is lots of traffic.

Both front and rear are still good after 32000 miles.... I must be driving like a saint...:)

Mine was upgraded from 60 to 80 amps at no cost to me. The Lecky boards trainee almost lost it doing the change...:D

Just enjoy the car with all of its bells and whistles. Don't worry too much about miles per Kw etc, your journey is short, so efficiency as such is not an issue. Advice is good, but don't get hung up on it. As summer approaches, and temperatures rise, your m/kw will rise significantly anyway...:)

It is a bit slow setting it up with the destination address, but works OK generally. Of course, the phone is the alternative...

No moans about my 3+y/o ZS EV. For £23,500, a brand-new car, it was a steal. Lovely car to drive...:)

I changed my battery in the keyfob last month. 3 years and 3 months. Nothing is stored in the key, just a code to open the door and validate the car start etc...

No biting...:)

Thanks for comments. These new 150kW chargers are pretty cool Max charge was about 54kW , as my 3-year-old MG is getting a little dated now.

From Swansea to Northampton, and return , some 400 miles, in my ZS EV Mk 1 80% on motorways and dual carriageways, not the most economical driving. Speed between 65 and 70 mph. With stops and business at the other end, a 12 hour day..:( Recharging Network was great. Leaving home with an 80%...
