    Worth noting that the EON Next Drive Smart tariff will let you charge at any time - however it is only compatible with certain car brands and Renault / Hyundai are not yet supported.

    I like the Inster, I actually went to have a look at an Inster 01 long range yesterday, £22K. The 01 seems the pick of the bunch with the vastly superior 15" wheels with tall tyres, and doesn't have the automatic interior mirror that invariably leaks vile ichor after a couple of years. It also has replaceable bulbs in all the lights, not the £££££££££ LED units. I quite fancied a proper 360 camera set up, but that is only on the cross. The colours are a bit insipid too.

    The only thing I noticed (from the outside) was that the 01 doesn't have gangsta windows. The seat seemed a bit firm too compared to the Kia EV2, but I'm put off the EV2 by the massive width (1.8m without the mirrors, you need a long stick to reach the passenger!)

    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    Yes I tried the EV2 but thought it too big. I'm addicted to having a sunroof so it's likely to be the Inster Cross. Discounts are great at the moment as I'm a teacher.

    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
    It's tough getting rid of the past but it does free up space for the future.
