    As I said, I always start at 100%. The 180 miles in the winter has the battery down to about 10%. I was getting closer to 230 miles in the summer months.

    Private Hire Taxis

    The 2 pictures above were my solution to the problem. I put some protective film onto the bumper and then put the velcro on top. The film will not damage the paint. And if you look closely at the top of the taxi plate you can see a small rubber strip I put on so I don't damage the black plastic...
