One week into the new and exciting world of my new eMotor and I’m looking to venture further afield. Home charging is easy, if a little long with a 13amp plug and I eagerly await my 32 amp POD Point to take advantage of cheap night rate electricity. It’s still called Economy 7 you know,

Jan 5, 2017Trevor Larkum1 CommentBlog, Electric Cars, Renault, ZOE, ZOE Z.E. 40

I heard the news from Renault in about the middle of December that there were just 11 of the Renault ZOE ‘Dynamique Nav’ still in ‘stock’, i.e. available to sell across the UK dealer network or in Renault’s south coast import yard. That is the 2015 model of the ZOE, the one with the 22kWh

Hi, I am Trevor Heale. This is an introduction/taster to the Ioniq EV. Look online for in depth reviews/specs etc. Robert Llewellyn’s “Fully Charged” YouTube program was my introduction to the Ioniq. So I have to thank him for this adventure. I have finally managed to go electric and here’s my first thoughts on my

The updated BMW i3 is better than ever and this Range Extender makes range anxiety a thing of the past Verdict: 4 stars The BMW i3 is a more compelling proposition than ever thanks to its bigger battery pack and improved range. The pure EV version will cost pennies to run, but it’s this REx

Speculation about the future of transportation, like common flu, appears to be contagious.
