Week One in Electric Vehicle

First week driving the fully electric Nissan Leaf and I have to say I LOVE it!

It is so quiet, very speedy and responsive. All the inside "toys" you could want including reversing camera, full bluetooth connectivity with my phone (great for playing Spotify!) climate control and auto wipers. 

The main thing that concerned me was charging the vehicle. However it is a doddle! I charge it at work while I am in the office and all I do is park next to an outdoor plug socket, take the charging cable out the boot and plug it in and go off to do my work. This is an ordinary 3 pin plug by the way not a designated charging point. There is also a rapid charger with the car which can be used at charging points but I haven't had the need for it this week. 

As for driving about in it - I have been to Ayr and Kilmarnock branches a few times and the car is incredibly nippy! I have had to check myself several times from going too fast as there is no noise from the engine to let you know. 

So far so very good! I would highly recommend this type of motoring!
