Just finished first week with white exclusive (with black mirror caps waiting for the tint). Love it but less so the car manual. Can anyone help me on two questions: How do I keep the digital speed in the centre display? I switch to it and after a minute some warning has taken it away so I have to arrow to it again. The second is should I just ignore the snowdop button on the righ hand multi function gizmo on the steering wheel - it doesnt seem to do anything?
My observation on charging after looking at wall chargers, commando sockets et al. On the granny charger in one hour it recharges battery by +5% and adds 8 to normal range, 10 miles to eco range. So my average 60% weekly top up will take 12 hours - easy. Assuming an average consumption of 3.5 miles/kwh my annual 6,000miles (ignoring free solar in summer) is a max (6000/3.5) = 1,714kwh which at 15p/kwh is £281pa With a wall charger costing me £500 to install and Octopus 5p deal these costs would be £94 pa assuming I only charge between 12 and 4am. Thats a saving of £188pa so pays for itself in 3 years. Moving to a cheaper (12p/kwh) standard supplier and maxing solar use in summer its more like 4 years. So I think I have persuaded myself not to go the wall charger route but find a cheaper kwh rate.
