Work trip to Bristol.
Weds morning up at 05:45
Taxi booked for 06:30 to Glasgow Airport
Phone pings at 06:15, taxi arrived in plenty of time, great.
Stagger out in rain to see a red MG5 LR Exclusive outside – which is exactly the same model as our own MG5 which will be used by the family later that day.
Double take, driver says – which one should we take?
40 mins of sharing experience with the driver ensues - “D” for the purpose of this post.
He has done 35,000 miles since Oct 21 (I asked twice to be sure) avg 4 miles per kWh, only 1 major problem when car locked when trying a quick rapid charge.
Paid similar prices – plug in grant plus the Affinity deal that came with the EST Scotland interest free loan.
I have solar PV, D thinking of battery plus off-peak electricity. Discussion on limits of 16 amps per phase on size of battery.
I know “D” reads the forum – so I hope you don’t mind the post – is was a pleasure to talk to you.
MG5 Taxi drivers must have run up the highest mileage and gained more experience than all us "civilian" drivers (D's term) - what have you learnt?
