It would be a really big mistake. Your lucky if you actually get 80 miles out of a charge. The heating also drains the battery. And unless yout willing to splash out on a nissan rapid charger then expect to charge up for approx 8 hours in return for that 80 miles

a fast charge takes about 40 mins to give an 80% charge. Not ideal. You would be better off with a hybrid. I work on a circuit with leafs and nobody likes driving them. They are small aswell. Boots are small and i wouldnt want to be in the back with two other people

Till we get rid of batteries we wont have true electric cars, fuel cells (onboard electric production) is what is needed

You can get free soar panels from one of those green deal company's, get them to stick them on your roof :lol: :lol:

Mind you Vito drivers could actually use them to run the air con in London as they don't have back windows that open so save fuel :idea: :idea:
