Car name - little green machine! - - - Nice shopping trolley, but I do hope you don't plan on going on holiday in it, as you will spend an hour charging for every two driving, assuming you can find a charger that works that isn't already occupied, and with a queue! As you say, the useful range is significantly down in winter, partly because batteries don't like being cold, and partly because you are running lights, wipers, heaters etc as well. Avoid getting below 20%, as some cars lose the last bit very rapidly, go into turtle mode, and you can end up stranded. And keep an eye on the 12v battery. If that gets low, the whole car will shut down - including the door locks! If the main battery is low, it stops charging the 12v! - - The infrastructure in the UK is sadly lacking, as yet, especially in Wales. As you may have already discovered, Instavolt are usually reliable, but very expensive per Kw.. - No, I'm not going green with envy! I've been looking at EV's myself, but they are all too small for my purposes. There is only one estate car, yet, and that's costa-lotta! - - - - Small vans - you'd be lucky to get 80 miles from a charge. Are they the future - not with the current (sorry) battery chemistry. They are better than petrol/diesel, but not THE solution to personal transport. If you haven't already done so - download Zapmap - it helps you to find chargers when you are out and about. - - - - I'm glad you didn't film the growing a life, especially the bit where you are planting the seeds, this is the wrong channel for that kind of thing!! 🙂 - - Happy New Year, Ross.

It's certainly going to be an interesting journey of discovery. 👍

@@GrowYourOwnLife If you want an educational laugh, watch the MacMaster, and Jeff Buys Cars, on the tube. Mac drives an electric Porsche Taycan, and Geoff drives whatever he can get hold of from ebay, etc, that uses wet fuel. They have challenges between them like getting from East to West, and so far Jeff is winning four nil.

I'll check it out... giving me ideas. 🤔

I love the colour!

[@GrowYourOwnLife]

I've always wanted a racing green mini. My first car was a racing green Citroën ax.

I'm late but congratulations on your new car!
