    https://www.speakev.com/threads/engie-rapid-chargers-in-west-yorkshire-which-are-free-to-use-until-october-2021.143240/ Free charging, oh, such a dilemma in Yorkshire You make some good points about heating, in winter I drive with it set to 21C and I also use the seat heater, so if I turned that lot off I’d get a few more miles. Preconditioning whilst connected to a charger saves a kWh of battery which is helpful. My radar & camera will always be active anyway (except when it turns itself off for some french reason). LED headlights, yes, they use a fair bit less that the old halogens, it’s all LED lighting except the boot light. Wipers I don’t know how much that will take from the range, mine were going occasionally today. However, I’d caution that you do lose a lot of range on wet roads. As for children, aren’t they disease vectors? you are carrying such creatures in your car? How do you get the snot out of the suede seats? And you allow them to have electronic devices that are beyond us older mortals learning capabilities?

    Thanks for this, the one in Morley is very near my offices so i will be popping in for some freebie juice from there.
