Hi there! I’ve had my little 2nd hand Zoe since April this year and it has been amazing- until two weeks ago :\ I got the service failure “stop” message and the “battery charging impossible” message while driving down the motorway. Got it home by turning off eco mode and left it. Tried charging...

Hi, My Zoe is coming up to the end of it's PCP and I'm happy the whole electric thing works for me. My original reason for jumping into EVs was intrigue and the cheap deals that were available on the Zoes. Currently, my 22 kWh Zoe when used in conjunction with my right foot will do 70 miles...

My partner manages a fairly large block of serviced and traditional offices and after all my talk of charging and charge points he has put it to his managers that he would like to get some EV charge points installed in the car park. In short it's a nice selling point for the offices and might...
