Evening All,
Just dropping in to say Hi, I'm newly registered here. We've got an e-208 GT in Faro Yellow arriving on Tuesday. Ordered back in Feb through Drivethedeal who offered the best price I could find at the time - but it was delayed slightly due to Covid. The car was built on June 10th and should be being trailered to us from the supplying dealer up in Preston to save their driver having to stop and charge it up - as that's further away than a single charge.
Car is actually my mother in law's but she lives with us, so no doubt we'll be using it frequently for trips into town as both the wife and I have large cars that aren't the easiest to get round all the multi-storey car parks.
First foray in to electric cars, so not really clued up. We got the pod point installed which seemed fairly straightforward. I've had a bit of a poke around a few different threads on here and there is some great info.
Car is going in to our detailer to be ceramic coated with Gtechnic Crystal Serum Ultra and then topped with ExoV4 so it should look beautiful when that is done, and protected from the elements for longer than we'll probably own it (is on a 4 year PCP)
Couple of quick Q's
Anyway, good evening to you all - thanks for all the useful info

Couple of quick Q's
- Any common quirks or things to be aware of with the e208?
- I've registered the PodPoint app, what other apps should we download and register for public charging (not that we'll be doing this much if at all, but want it all ready to go in case we do need to) I've seen mention of Polar and Ecotricity
- Do people generally seem to be getting on well with the e-208? I still don't think I've seen one on the road yet (save the one we borrowed from the local dealer to test drive)
Anyway, good evening to you all - thanks for all the useful info
