Well the Leaf has completed it's first weekend. The mileage dropped quite quickly going to Leicester into the wind but it finished Friday with 25% charge left and Saturday with 34% left. Saturday was a 7 hour shift.

BHX wont be a problem, it is only 55 miles away. He has done 2 East Midlands so far. I think he has a Heathrow later this week so that will require a battery boost to get back.

The car is on the Heathrow job now. Started with a full battery and stopped at Beaconsfield services to charge up. The battery was on 36% left. Got on one of the 40KW chargers and it was on free vend. You get 45 minutes. at the end of 45 minutes there was no one else waiting so unplugged and plugged in again, still on free vend so battery full. Hopefully get on a charger at the airport just to top up whilst collecting the passenger. total cost of electricity for the 260 mile round trip will be around £5.00 when charged up tonight at 5p per KW,
