Hi there, and welcome to the forum. I take it this is your first EV then. You are going to love it. Enjoy.

Also named Alan.

Hi there Alan! A very warm welcome to you, welcome to the forum!

We are all quite tolerant on here so don’t hesitate to ask any question, no matter how trivial or maybe stupid it seems - one of us will probably have had the same question in our early days as well! Are you also new to automatics, if so the whole changeover to an automatic EV will take some getting used to.

 

[amorton1660]

no been driving automatics for a while now and always wonder why I preservered with a manual for so long ,.... im a big Peugeot fan but after 10 years driving 3008s thought it was time for a change .... don't know whether ive done the right thing as my daughter keeps reminding of Rover MG my dad owned drove him crazy as it spent more time back at the dealers than he actually got to drive it ... was on first name terms with all the AA mechanics.

Welcome to the forum and the whole world of electric propulsion Alan !.
Once you start driving EV's you will be wondering why you never did it before.
Moving from a long line of diesel cars, from now on you are now in for a very silent and relaxing drive.
EV driving is very addictive, you have been warned .

Hi Alan. Did you get the red one from Logan's? We've just got a red one from Mervyn Stewart's in Bangor. Picking it up in 4 days time.
Looking forward to seeing you out and about.

You wont get a quick top up as we discovered. Takes a few hours, just like your home charger.
What are you driving? Well look out for you.
I work in CAT at Larne.
