@monty thank you for posting, really interesting! We just ordered the same car in dark grey with the convenience pack and sunroof on it, will take delivery in a couple of weeks (or when the adaptation company can fit it in for an electric transfer plate).
Our friends here are right, charging on service stations is daylight robbery, if you can find somewhere else to charge (neighbours, some free charging still at super markets etc) would make a lot of sense.
For us, we are trying to take advantage of the solar panels and use the excess electricity for the car, we also have a battery for the evening!
For me it lacks a bit of power and i thought it was a bit noisy when i test drove it (used to my own fast Merc, this is the Mrs’s motability car) but we will get used to it and drive sensibly, and it will cost us almost nothing especially if we keep charging from the sun (at least 9 months a year).
But I can’t wait to enjoy the comfy sitting position, the massive boot (never had such a large boot) and all the tech on it!
I’ve had full EVs and also PHEVs in the past (Outlander, Renaults etc) and the battery tech has moved on light years ahead…
Can’t wait ! 🙂
Pick up date can’t come soon enough, enjoy your
