Some Advance Payments £1,000 or more reduced than before Motability suspended Ordering.

Colour and spec i am waiting on, just different badges.

No idea yet if i can get it handed over to me  before possible changes in Lockdown in Scotland Mid July.

The Advance payment changed and went higher after i ordered and now is much lower and i hope it will be the same when the list changes in July which is the 3rd quarter.

 

 

 

1,800 miles driven since the 10th August and that will be over 2,100 by tomorrow.

Only expense has been the £62.25 a week  Motability lease and the advance payment and £11.32 paid to charge at a Rapid charger that is not part of the Free Charge network in Scotland.

 

Very happy with my choice of car.

Over 240 miles possible from a 98% charge and that can be down to 150 miles with Motorway driving, passengers and stuff carried or just nipping along when the weather is colder and roads wet.

Charging to over 90% is quick on a 50 kWH charger, not just quick to 80%.

Just the last 2% is not worth waiting to get in the battery, but if the car is plugged in and you are not waiting it takes like 20 minutes.

Ahhh.  This seems similar to most over EVs.

 

The only other answer marques seem to adopt is the useable and chargeable zone is actually to 90 or 95% of true battery capacity.

 

Think they should give us users more credit ie the last 5 or 10 % is like the expansion volume on a liquid hydrocarbon tank.

 

Charging just now and topping to 98%.  If I went to 100% now it would show 98% by morning and less range but the range would increase within a few miles.  All a learning curve while the weather is good.  This is my 3rd time at a charger today since a 6am start and 370 miles covered at no cost to me.
