Test Drive ZS EV - Wow

[JCFlippen]

I just had a brilliant 1 hour test drive of a ZS Exclusive. Cat amongst the pigeons now, if wifey likes it on a second longer test next week then it will a no brainier decision - I hope.

Put your persuasion head on

When I “presented” the idea to my wife I did a comparison of running costs fuel and road tax. That sold it to her?

I have also just told her what the servicing costs will be. Ours will be here on Monday.

Well done! Welcome aboard the 'ZS EV' bus You'll be able to say "I told you so" to the wife, over the next few years, for a change!

I hope all goes well for you, I had to use all my brownie points to get my missus to agree to the MG ZS EV, she wasn't keen on it at all but now she's driven it over the last few months she loves it.

All I had to do to convince the boss-lady was to to take the test drive, 18 months ago. Irresistible!

Taking delivery on Monday of a ZS EV. Full approval given with one compromise! I am not known for regular stops for coffee so now we have an EV we will stop every 100miles or so for a break. The sacrifice is tremendous but no doubt with the Ecotricity updates and good Instavolt sites I will manage.Looking forward to the future ?

The EV bug bites hard !.
It's a one way street, no turning back to ICE anymore.

We have had ours since February. I must say, as a new EV user I'm very impressed.

That's how I sold mine (read ours) to my wife it's so cheap to run, plus she knows that eventually all you'll be able to buy is electric, and to be honest I can't imagine ever going back to a petrol/diesel.

We have had ours for a week now and I have shown her how much money we have saved. Every time we pass a petrol station I remind her of the price per litre of petrol. I think though that I had better stop doing it as it is getting annoying.

Same here! I also point out every now and again (okay - every night!) when our cheap rate electricity kicks in, how much more we're saving!

My mileage is exceptionally low, local runs to and from work, the occasional 80mile round trip to visit family and a couple of localish holidays but I've spent the princely sum of £68 on "fuel" costs since September last year

I am looking forward to getting my home charger fitted so I can keep a close eye on costs via the associated app.

Yeah - I've got a Pod Point charger so, from the app, I can tell I've spent £8 on 'refuelling' the car over the last 4 weeks. It's pretty handy but the Octopus website has my electricity (and gas) usage for every half an hour from the previous day (and 'back' for over a month - I'm not sure how far back it can go as I only joined them a month ago!).

When I check it (usually every morning at breakfast), the wife just rolls her eyes at me!

In the early days of EV adoption, it was the very same in out house.
I kept bashing on about just how much we where saving by going EV.
Until one day, I just let it out how much money we had saved over a couple of months to my wife, when I received this instant responce.
“That is a lot, I could buy a new handbag with that”.
I don’t bother so much reporting the saving anymore !.
Strange how ladies see a cost saving as a great opportunity to spend more on things like handbags and shoes !.
No offence to our lady members of course.
