The Austin Healey figure does sound stupidly high to me too, and yes, the consistency of the data in that database is annoyingly poor. Re. the i-MiEV and clones - I think where you live - London? - may skew the distribution, due to the congestion charge, plus them being a good 'city car' due to...

I see a couple of 3000's when I go to my local cider supplier - Healeys - and yes, they are apparently related: https://healeyscyder.co.uk/healey-cars/ I also did a "How many are left" search, but the data for Austin Healey doesn't include any breakdown of models...

Do plug it in to recharge it. Don't put petrol in it. I think that covers the do's and dont's

Chargebump was developed to do this, but I think is UK-centric. https://chargebump.com/

I think the Renault Zoe (small european hatchback BEV) can charge at 22kW and 43kW AC as well as 3kW and 7kW - it's available with a 22kWh or 41kWh battery. I think it might require a 3 phase AC supply to charge at the 2 highest rates.

you could go even smaller - Minilite still make 10" wheels in Aluminium and also lightweight Magnesium

I was wondering if the little Mitsu van that carries the battery pack is also an EV, and if so, what would it's total range be if it used the big battery pack in the back...

They did it in 80 days on homemade electric motorcycles: https://www.storm-eindhoven.com/World_Tour_2016/schedule

Scary looking things - are they between the bulkhead and the outer part of the dashboard etc. ?

Ta for those pictures phb10186 :-) They'd have to flip the whole car, not just the dash, otherwise steering left would make the car go right ;-)

I think I will try and find a PDF of the Mitsubishi manual - my Peugeot manual makes no mention of this, nor of the cubby under the steering wheel - heaven knows what else I am missing info on ;-)

A user on the SpeakEV forum (a mainly UK based general EV forum) has posted about a secret compartment in the iMiev dashboard. If you put your hand into the recess above the glovebox and feel the top, you should find an oval opening, which you can put your fingers in to pull down a flap. It is...

Johnny Smith owns and races an EV: https://youtu.be/u6VJ6_4yCkw Here it is setting an EV world record last year (not sure if that record still stands): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4iSS3eNZyg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZW3BxrBAAs More info here: http://flux-capacitor.co.uk/ Back to the...

A little more info on the Morgan EV3 from the Geneva Motor Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y7ghj-frns It would be interesting to find out what changes are made after the 10 "test" customers have had the car for a while.

Pretty sure I'm not in the target market - they're only making 19 of them, and that sounds like it will be very spendy. I do like the extra headlight in the nose/grill. I keep checking the factory hire list - they only have the V-Twin engined 3-wheeler for hire at the moment, if/when they get...

I just watched another of the Morgan promo videos about the EV3 (a Selfridges limited/special edition) and there's a couple of driving shots that show the rear wheel fairly clearly. I'd guess it's easily wider than the combined width of the (very skinny) front tyres - as is the total rear...

They do a "lite" version of the EV3 - cheaper, slower, but probably much cheaper to ship from Malvern to where you are ;-) https://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/mmc/shop/index.php/morgan-junior-ev.html

My iOn is 3 3/4 years old, and now has 25,551 miles on the clock, and is still serving us very well. It's coping with the extra weight of a 4th passenger without a problem (a dog in the boot).

or I could just run an extension lead outside and chuck a 3Kw domestic fan heater in there for a while. My EVSE has to have its own separate circuit from the distribution box (that's what the wiring regulations for an external EVSE states), which is a pain, as it would be nice to have an outdoor...

The results of my test yesterday evening - I was wrong - the blowers work, but no A/C or heat :-( I also found that I couldn't lock the door while the car was switched on and plugged into my charger. I just realised I only tried the remote lock button on the main keyfob to lock the doors (I had...
