Hi all,
I've long wanted to join the EV revolution and finally managed to justify to myself getting a Leaf this week and it is due to arrive Monday. I will admit to an unhealthy level of excitement about this!
It seemed logical to add the 6.6kWh upgrade due to the extra flexibility and I was initially quite pleased with this decisions but... I've since learned that the upgrade means I won't get a charging cable I can use at home with the car. :-(
In *theory* British Gas will maybe, at some point, come and fit a charging station in my house but their email was worded very much in a "it will be a while, if ever" kind of way.
My old car went bang today so I can't wait for BG to catch up. I rang the Nissan dealership selling it to me and they quoted me £486 if I want a 3 pin cable by Monday.
I can't see how I can cope without one but that just seems so much money. A quick ferret about the net has yielded no obvious cheaper options - certainly not ones that can get to me in time - so I thought I would ask a community of experts. Any other options that I can try? If I want it by Monday the indication is I need to move "now" :-/
Many thanks for any advice you are able to give,
