Hello so pleased to join this forum. I am a car enthusiast and have been driving for over 50 years.
This is a big change for me having had all
kinds of vehicles over the years mopeds motorcycles 3 wheelers my Reliant Regal kept the rain off but it sadly died when I rolled it one Saturday morning. My first 4 wheel car was a mini clubman estate and I owned two Rover 75’s each of which had well over 150,000 miles on the clock when I sold them so I am well versed in some of the history surrounding MG Rover and how it came to be swallowed up by SAIC. The move to electric is a massive step for me particularly in view of the rapidly changing moves by Government and the direction of travel of the motor industry which I sense is about to gain some form of reprieve for ICE power trains. Having just retired I felt it time to try something new and join the EV world. I am 3
days in having purchased a Piccadilly Blue S5 Trophy
after trading in my faithful and much loved Citroen C5 Aircross which has been fabulous. So here I am an EV owner with much to learn about this brave world of of electric vehicles. Have so far done just
over 100 miles on the dealer provided charge and loved every minute of it. My first real run is going to be around New Year to make the over 200 + mile journey from Lincolnshire to Southampton which I
must say is causing some trepidation around charging as it will no doubt need feeding more than once along the way.
