Not an X-Power, no.

There's a 26 plate Ealing Green round the corner from us. That colour is fantastic.

Ours was a bit temperamental on Sat/Sun. I put it down to the clock change as the Ohme ready time kept changing to an hour later than requested.

I still turn it off here in Stafford. Otherwise it plays havoc with my pothole avoidance technique.

We were lucky. In last year's holiday in Porthmadog I found Instavolt chargers just outside the town at Tremadog, LL49 9SN which were normally free.

Our ER can just about do 320m at a very steady pace and when it's warmer weather.

Well, the toll road was closed yesterday so I got stuck going south on the M6. After clearing that I had to hammer down to Heathrow and ended up only getting the equivalent of 255 on a full charge. On the way back I stopped at the Instavolt site near Banbury. Loads of chargers, probably due to...

There was another smurf parked in the short-term at Heathrow T2 yesterday. Plenty on the M40 - a smurf behind me on the Oxford/Banbury stretch and overtook a tango trophy and a white SE on the southbound, in convoy.

I'm doing Stafford to Heathrow again this weekend. Last June, I got there and back in our ER with 3% battery left. 320 miles is therefore realistic and I'll be interested to see how it goes this time in slightly colder weather as current range is about 250 miles. I no longer feel the need to...

Had the second service at Pinkstones N-U-L on Monday. This time, they had a record of the booking and the reg number was visible on the top of their jobs whiteboard. They warned me it could be upto 90 minutes, so I toddled off down to McDonalds and had a call an hour later. The car had been...

During the recent cold and rain, our ER got the equivalent of 250 miles on a trip to Weston Super Mare on the M6 and M5. In warmer times, 320 has been achieved on a Heathrow round trip.

I last did an equalisation on our ER on 29 December. I used the bump charge, rather than an Ohme scheduled charge and it took 11 hours 45 mins to pull down 73.1 kWh at a cost of £12.35. Its second service is due next week so I'll ask for an SOH figure while I'm there.

I use an Electroverse card. It's touch-in and touch-out. Had no issues so far.

I got a text message confirming the booking this time, so I'll keep it just in case!

Second annual service booked for 23 Feb. Had our details stored and booked quickly and easily.
