Anyone got any experience or knowledge of any of the electric cars that are now available?
Situation at home has changed that after years of working about a mile from home i recently took VR, had a year off with my little one and the dog and have now (after a 4 week stint as a postman) have a job back in IT but it involves a 60 mile round commute from Chesterfield to Derby. We'll be keeping the Insignia GS Tourer we got back in March as the family load lugger and being a 1.5 turbo petrol its not bad fuel wise anyway but i'm pondering ideas to replace our 64 plate 1.6 Astra which is a bit lacklustre in favour of something thats more economical\cheaper to run both for my 60 mile trip and possibly short trips round and about at home.
60 miles seems to be well within the capabilities of most electric cars these days and just a case of plugging it in at home to charge each night. I'm just not sure whether full electric is the best way, one of the many fangled hybrid options or some super economical small car. The drive to Derby is partly country roads, then A38 dual carridgeway and finally the city centre roads of Derby.
