Prefer the Polestar, shades of muscle car, iPace looks like any old generic SUV.

Yeah it’s annoying really, means you actually have head room in the back of the IPACE...
very generic for a 5 seat vehicle to accommodate 5 adults.

iPace looks decent enough, prefer the Polestar 2 myself.

defiantly the Jag on the right
I've just been looking on Zap map to see if any new charging points have come up near me (from like a year ago)
nothing new
so browsing around and noticed some "zap-Home" chargers, anyone actually used this ?

I provide mine on Zap-home, given lockdown etc. I've only had one user thus far, which was a couple of weeks ago I responded in the thread about it.

Polestar 2 or iPace on looks
who’s is that then? Love the Photon Red, looks like it’s got air suspension too.

Polestar looks more modern, don’t think the colour of the Jag is helping.

The curve on the jag is weird, down at the door and up at the wheel. Looks like someone crashed it.
some new pictures of ioniq 5 ..... the back has design style like a de'lorean's front ... umgh (even lancia delta or r5 resemblence too)

had a bit of a brain wave last night
for some reason i looked up the i3 (as i knew they had a range extender version)
had a good think and thought "i could make it work"
then i looked to see what EVs i can get in my budget, leaf 30KW with the 6.6 rapid charger is possible or an i3
Then i was thinking how I can make this work without charging at home, and you know what, i think I can...
Free Charging at work every day via "Pod Point" network
Question, do these public chargers have a "cut off" , i.e. park in a supermarket for an hour over the parking limit, would it stop changing at any point ?
if not, then thats great !
also if the pods are down, im sure i could park it round the back and use a 3pin plug if needed !

It won’t stop charging, they might ticket you for over staying in the car park though.
IMO it isn’t worth the hassle on such a short range car. Work chargers can be taken away and people can get competitive over a “free” resource.
As an experiment I didn’t charge my EV at home for a couple of weeks and it’s a complete pain and gets frustrating very quickly. Nothing beats the convenience of it always being ready at home...
