I'll add my twopenny worth - get yourself a home charger if you can. Apologies if it really isn't possible, but home charging is where the huge savings get made. Find an electricity supplier that offers cheap rate electricity for charging, and you're laughing. The cost of the charger is less than the savings you make in a year.

If you need 30% or less per day, then that is much more true of a granny charger

I don't speed and found the over speeding warning a nightmare. The reality is the car doesn't often read the speed limits correctly and doing 31 / 32 / 33 in a 30 is hardly "speeding" by any sensible measure. Thank goodness I worked out how to turn it off.

I think most people would benefit from going all in on a home charger. I often think if I wasted £1k getting a proper charger installed as I could of just granny charged every night but what a faff in reality. If your on a budget then defo get a granny charger over regular public charging. But an investment into a proper home charger if possible if the best way to go in my opinion.

Ive got this car for at least 3 years and probably will get another EV so its a worthwhile investment for us.
