EV general discussion

[mrgubby]

Well... The slippery slope to EV ownership has started.

Test drive of a Micra is booked for tomorrow, the car is for Mrs G but she refuses to be involved with the test drive . As long as it's a nice blue and not too big compared to her Corsa she's happy

Avoid Tesla groups, they are just unhinged.

Yeah nearly all of them are just rabid musk arsekissers lol

Wifey and I are discussing the best place to mount it. I favour on the steering column so that it can be seen through the wheel. Wifey says she prefers if it goes near the screen on the top. We will see once it arrives.

Steering wheel column is probably better. If it's mounted on the dash itself it will block the A/C vent right in front of the driver. The steering column position will also block the AC vent, but less so.

Is the range sufficient and you'll remember to plug in to charge yeah?
Besides being blue and the size requirements, the main thing is buying the right car for the use case.

Yeah my vote is for in front of the wheel as well, I would have thought it defeats the object putting it above the main screen.

No, not above the main screen. I'm talking out in front of the driver, close to the windscreen.

 

[iwrox]

Ah that makes more sense! Now that is more of a choice
