ZS EV Subscriptions, Motorway & Granny Charging Trial

[LightningBolt]

I have just begun a subscription with Elmo for the ZS EV, expecting delivery Friday 7th May and I am very excited! I've gone for the exclusive model, sadly only the blue was left because I think I prefer the red.

Looking to trial it on the subscription with the aim of starting a lease if all goes well. I'd love to continue a subscription, but I think it'll be a few more years before they can compete with low lease costs.

I drive around 75 miles a day round trip to work almost exclusively on motorway/dual carriageway, so I am interested to see how often I need to charge it. I live in a flat with only on street parking too, hoping to be reliant on work charging, which shouldn't be an issue. But some days fast chargers aren't available, so I'm also keen to find out if I can rely on granny charging. I will post how I get on here and hopefully it can be helpful for anyone else who might be in a similar position but wants to convert to EV life!

Thanks to all those who have come before me and asked great questions and/or provided great answers on this forum. It has been a huge resource the last few months, so thank you.

2 days on a single charge at the mileage on faster roads might be pushing it IMO. If it was me, I'd be charging each night, but there are much more adventurous people on here who would go beyond that!

I bit the bullet and just went straight for the lease, absolutely loving it so far!

Hoping to plug in OVMS this weekend and then put to proper test next week on my 80 mile round trip commute.
