The new Zoes do seem to be getting excellent reports, I hope you're very happy with yours.

I wonder how much of the low range in winter problem stems from people who are used to driving their ICE tintops wearing shirtsleeves with the heater turned up full? Stalwart Morgan drivers, used to driving in the cold whilst wrapped up in warm clothing will probably find it quite natural to keep their coat on in an EV and have the temperature set much lower, thus realising many more miles before recharging.

We're planning to get an EV in the next few years, and the solar array, batteries and charging system are going in this spring/summer, but our main runaround (Fiat 500) is just 5 years old and has only done 8k miles. It's working perfectly and it seems a bit wasteful to get rid when it's got so much life left in it. It's amazing how few miles we're doing now we're retired.
