    The newest leaf (gen 3) is now CCS and also has a liquid cooling battery system. I had sit in one a couple of days ago and highly impressed.

    If I just needed a BEV to use as a do almost everything tool, get me from A-B with the odd longer journey I'd look no further than the Suzuki e-Vitara I saw yesterday. Brand new, for £22,000.

    However if I wanted a car without the perceived negatives of an EV, the Swift hybrid next to it at £16k made far more sense. £6k buys a lot of fuel and it will be good for ten years of the available warranty. After ten years it will still be worth a good percentage of the £16k.
