is their a problem with them we don't know about? (assuming the charging point was working)
Just seemed odd to see such a new car (still covered in finance stickers) being loaded onto a recovery truck.

If it was covered in finance stickers - could it have been a new car that had been on display at the leisure centre?Just seemed odd to see such a new car (still covered in finance stickers) being loaded onto a recovery truck.
Or perhaps they were just filling it up with leccy to deliver to new owners with a 'full tank'

I've seen the car driving around town a few times, so I don't think it was used as a a static advert (although it may have been)
It does make me question the wisdom of short ranged electric transport though. Lets assume the average petrol car get 30 miles grace once the low fuel light goes on. Plenty of time to fill up. That's approximately half the leaf's real world range, not to mention electricity does not come in handy refillable cans.
Ah well... it gave me something to mull over on my way to work

My mrs knows nothing except to charge every night, she goes about her daily trips to school , friends, shops etc and doesn't think about it - perfectly suits her everyday use.
Longer trips ? Hire car is no problem
Same here, i3 now at 3500 miles and still hasn't seen a public charger, probably never will.Longer trips ? Hire car is no problem

Indeed. A recovery man once told me the most reliable cars ever were Mitsubishis and the worst were BMW 5-series, based on how many he recovers. I had no comment.
OR does that suggest Mitsubishi owners know how to change tyres and put the right fuel in whereas BMW owners are paranoid and want the garage to check anything their husband hasn't explained...scubadude said:
