The cold weather has hammered the efficiency of mine, that and a heavy right foot ;) currently charging every other night but hey it's still cheaper than petrol :giggle:

Still on the standard Bridgestones, I know they come in for a lot of stick, but I've not had a problem with them so far with my style of driving.

I have to say how impressed I was with how the car performed over the weekend, never got stuck anywhere or even felt like it was struggling, even had to stop twice going uphill with snow/ice on the ground and moved off again no problem.

Well if I must, one of the few photos I've took so far, the day it was delivered.

Yeah, lucky to get that at the moment

Charged my Xpower to 80% last night, -3 degrees this morning and the range was 125miles

My daughter lives and works on a dairy farm in the Peak District and she's so thankful that she has an old Range Rover to get around as it's quite remote and the local roads don't see a lot of traffic.

At -3 degrees C, was showing 75miles of range at 50% battery, so it's definitely taking a battering, but I certainly appreciate the cabin pre-heating at 6am

Not too much, a couple of inches at most and it is melting during the day, so certainly not as bad as some areas. How's it up North?

First try using the 'SNOW' mode and the car feels OK, even using the stock Turanza's, caught me out to start with as I didn't realise it changed the Regen to 1, came to the first corner expecting it to slow quicker than it did, but after that it's all been fine, I did get the back end to kick...

First wash since ownership, not my best work, but at least it's clean.
