ELO

 Just noted I used Electric Ladyland earier so new title added!!

To try to do our bit for global warming I have just purchased SWMBO an electric car. it is another Corsa which she was very hppy with after eventually being persuaded to have  new one. It matches her driving profile perfectly. She does mostly short journey's and with a range of about 200 miles, range fear is unlikely to be a problem. It has sat nav facilities and hands free options for the phone so that is all additional peace of mind.

We have installed a home charger so it is very cheap to run at the moment as we are fortunate still to have a fixed deal well into 2023. Tesco were running a free charging service up until 1st November but that is now a payment facility which is a pity as we were getting a free 35 miles every time we shopped. Wirral council have some lamp post facilities but none really fit our travel template.

On a recent trip down South we did a check of service station charging options in case we ever need to go far afield in it. The service stations really only have two or three charging points and people were telling us they waited up to 40 minutes for a spare bay. There is a twelve station power farm in Banbury so thatm would be one good option to bear in mind.

We had all six grand children in one place during half term so it was good to get the Swiss branch into London, and we did Hampton Court Palace and a few other things. It was almost three years since we were in Geneva the last time we saw them.

Traffic was heavy on the way home and my sat nav was not giving me traffic information. It turns out that as the car is now three years old, I need to pay an annual fee for such information. Hey ho, they do say BMW where even the steering wheel is extra!
