  1. Renault ZOE
    Hi folks. First time poster, have read with great interest lots of detailed posts about EVs here. Finally considering this could be a good time for me to buy EV, as my Peugeot 207 is going on the fritz. Budget is frugal as possible. I'd like the idea of space (van like Maxus e Deliver 3) but...

    We need to get our family car (2 adults and 2 kids under 10) rather urgently (petrol car got written off) and I am really new to this EV business, but I am determined not to buy another petrol or hybrid. I am looking to shortcut it by going to an exclusive EV dealer or reseller? Is there such a...

    Hey all. After years of living quite centrally in london, we've moved to the absolute outskirts, where a car would be useful. Have been a biker for many many years, and partner has never ridden more than a bicycle, so.. we're starting to look for an EV whilst we learn. What one do we want? I...

    Hello everyone! I've been lurking for a while, finding interesting info (thanks!), & waiting for the best time to buy an electric car. Have realised that there will always be something better in a few years, but that now might be a good time to buy a large battery Leaf. I believe it will do...

    Hello! This is my first post here. Next Monday we are due to drive from Brighton to Fishguard in West Wales. It’s the first time our Peugeot e-2008 has gone further than a 40 mile round trip since we got it in Jan. According to ZapMap we should only need to recharge twice along along the 307...

    SEAT Mii arriving in Autumn. Which charger do folk recommend and what should I be paying for charger and installation after grant reduction? Zappi quoted for £710 or Pod Point at £565 both 7kw tethered. Thoughts, Thanks.
  7. BMW i3
    Hi all, I'm a newbie and just bought a used 2017 i3. It came with only the Delphi 110V charger and towing hook. What other accessories do these come with new? Do I really need a level 2 turbo cable? (Here in California, all the chargers I see around town have cables attached.) Is there a...

    Hi I'm Kazz, a newbie in EV. I have this big dump truck that I want to convert. But here's the problem - I don't know the physics part of EV or how to build. Any resource here for someone who knows next to nothing but is willing to read up and learn?

    Hi all, I've ordered my first PHEV, (2020 Kuga). It will be used mostly for short commutes 5/6miles and for towing our caravan every 4/6 weeks. As I don't do loads of miles I probably would only need to charge it 2 or 3 times a week and this would almost always be overnight so no need for high...

    Hi all, Just picked up a second hand Leaf 24 from Nissan Leeds yesterday and had a lovely day in it. What is surprising is how solid it all feels - great. Home charging and what not to come and I am already using this forums advice - thanks to all.

    Just catching up on all the things EV on this forum. We bought our Zoe (R240, 22kwh) just last week so are very much newbies in this space. The Zoe is brilliant for scooting around town (Perth). Recharging has been done either at one of the ChargePlace Scotland points in town or using a...
  14. Kia Soul EV
    Hi Folks, I get my Soul in a couple of weeks. Got a really good deal on it, but unfortunately the dealer is in Brighton and I live in Dundee, 525 miles away. So I am planning a wee road trip with a mate to share the driving. (its amazing how cheap flights are these days) I've just ordered a...
  15. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hey all, First off I want to say thank you for providing such a friendly and helpful forum (from what I have seen). I picked up my 16 plate Golf GTE yesterday, and have managed to have a little play around with it. I want to connect my phone so that I can use Google Maps etc through the screen...

    Hi all, been on and off lurkering last couple of years as a Kia Niro HEV driver. Last week moved to a Niro PHEV. Would have loved to gone full EV and almost went for the new Leaf but rapidgate killed that for me. Couldn’t wait for the Kona EV to come etc. Anyway all that is history now and...

    I've currently got a clapped out ICE (Honda HR-V 2003) which I've been waiting to die for a few years now but just won't. However, my thoughts have turned to an EV as a replacement and I'm just reading up on it all. My first obstacle is the charge point at home. I live in London in a terraced...

    I am new to this Forum, so 'hello', but I have now had my 2015 Leaf for one month. I do a 65 miles round trip communte across County Durham two days a week and have had no problems so far. I normally have two bars remaining when I get home. We have been across to the Lake District in the last...

    Hello everyone. New to the forum as about to take delivery of a Mercedes c350e this week. Sorry if this question has already been covered. I have looked at lots of charging options and as I will mainly charge overnight I'm happy with a conventional plug vs charging station. However the car...
