Hello.
Fantastic forum and a loyal but 'eyes open' following it seems. Just wondering how you'd react to a C-Zero driver contributing? I can't see anything approaching this in terms of breadth and depth of knowledge and discussion for a C-Zero.
I've put down my 3 upfront lease payments here in the UK and I'm expecting a delivery date (5-7days away) tomorrow.
In terms of driving profile it's been a bit of a quest of research to 'estimate' how well this car is going to fit my needs! The CZ (I have to shorten everything but this now reminds me of an Eastern European motorcycle manufacturer ) doesn't enjoy the benefit of E and B modes on its 'gearbox' so I feel range might be somewhat shorter than the I gets. This in conjunction with my daily 31mile each way commute, with 220kg of commuter (484lb) , just 2 of us! and 1000ft of decline in the morning and the reverse in the evening have had me scratching my head.
I guess the simplest answer is, 'you need to charge at work', but as the first EV on site and some risk averse senior management, that is proving a little difficult to confirm as an option.
My current plan is to drive very very carefully on my first trip, and probably there after, and keep my fingers crossed! I've had a good read of the hypermiling section as well.
So in summary, if its ok with you I'll post back on how life in the Welsh Valleys with an EV goes as soon as it arrives. Not an I, but a very good deal, and of course 220/240v as std!
Thanks.
