The estate my workshop is on is all solar panelled and also has a big solar farm behind, so a lot if the time we are supplying the grid. I can charge my car during the day if required without using 'mains' power....

When I'm racing, it's means using the truck or van and trailer. For other life, an EV fits perfectly. Yes, I'd also love a Tesla, but when the time comes to change there will be many other interesting options, I'm sure!
