Goodbye Hybrid Vehicle Hello Fully Electric Car!

After successfully trialing a Toyota Yaris Hybrid Vehicle I have decided to take the plunge and go fully electric! Since I am forever forgetting to charge my phone what are the chances of me being able to remember to charge a car! 😔

So after discussion with the eco-experts at Bridgend Motor Group where I work as the HR and Payroll Manager they comforted me with the fact that as I only drive locally the range on the electric car was fine for me and that I can charge it using a 3 pin plug at work or at home or at a charging station should I need to. 

We chose a Nissan Leaf 80KW Acenta 24KWH 5 door Automatic  (link to website below)

Great features on this model such as built in Sat Nav, Bluetooth Connectivity, automatic lights and wipers, climate and cruise control and audio streaming, USB connections, touch screen media display, rear view camera, keyless start. Fab!

I have just picked it up from the Bridgend Eco Centre in East Road Irvine where Scott & Darren the electric and hybrid specialists have shown me how it works and how to charge it. Very excited but also a bit nervous so watch this space!!!
