In fact every company car I've had in the last 15 years has been a diesel, because that's the way the company car tax was/is incentified They went the wrong way and the car industry supplied the demand. ...

Re: Not bad figures for an electric
I wont buy another diesel when the family wagon decides to die. Diesel is now evil in political circles and give it a few years no one will want them imo.
Plus they are getting more and more complex to cover the crap they shove out the back.
I'll stick to large supercharged petrol engines

Re: Not bad figures for an electric
Given the vast areas of scrub you've got I'm surprised there aren't more wind and solar farms. They gave good rebates and buy back tarrifs a few years back (before I bought unfortnately) so there is already a lot of solar on the grid. The problem is peak production and peak usage are mis-matched ...
