Yes when I took my son out for a demo and put my foot down he went WOW, they have certainly developed, more like a milk float on steroids 😄 Unless you are a motorway muncher doing more than 250 miles a day certainly consider an EV

OK so it's been five months since I was last here, having pensioned off my C class after 10 years of ownership. I defected to a Kia E-Niro having originally been considering a Hybrid, my research indicated that a full BEV would make more sense. I like many had thought that range was an issue...

Well I use the local Tesco 7Kw charger each week while I do the shopping, nip to the bank all the usual stuff. So in the hour I get another 35 miles free. Not massive but hey I never got a free gallon of diesel filling up anywhere, even at the local Sainsburys filling station. As regards cost...

Be interesting to know how an electric vehicle copes with fords !

Never been surpassed as an F1 commentator. RIP Murray and thanks for the memories.

Quite true, when I first started driving in the sixties, diesel cars wee unheard of, even many years later they were rare. I've just switched to electric, a lo of perception about charging and the time involved compared to a fuel fill up is being broken down. You just need to behave differently...

I tried to go to my website today www.artyman.co.uk and received the following message "support.google.com refused to connect." displaying a page logo with a no entry sign. Happened this morning and I hoped that it was some glitch that would clear. Looking online loads of stuff about Google...

P/Xed it for a 2020 EV not Mercedes, or Tesla

Funnily enough I've just tfd my personal reg to a newer car, and it's reverted back to another personal plate that was on it when I bought it and let laps, they haven't put it back to the original first registration.

I've been looking at electrics for the last couple of weeks, and yes my previous concerns about range anxiety are unfounded. Quite a few EV's now have a range of 280 miles, now I know that being of a certain age more frequent stops are now mandatory, I daresay that most people are going to stop...

I wonder what happens to an electric Land Rover when it goes through a nice deep flood, no snorkel required though !

An exciting trip to Tesco's and Screwfix for a couple of replacement light switches, how do I contain my excitement ;)

Took it to the Docs to get my first Covid jab

Happened to me nearly sixty years ago, car turned right into a side road in front of me, ended up with a broken wrist and headache, the car had a large dent in it's roof from my helmet, and a broken front passenger window from my wrist. People have lapses of attention.

Just file of the sharp bits and reprofile as best you can then some touch up paint as a temp measure
