@neil if you need a car (as we do living in a reasonably populated area with almost no public transport. aka outside London) an electric car makes a lot of sense if you can charge at home.
Second hand ev's seem good value at the minute and I think they actually last better than liquid fuel equivalents.
Early leafs do have very little range and the early leaf and Zoe are showing signs that the charge port is the weakest link and expensive to replace. Good luck.

@samw The best designs use multiple 2x2 connectors and put ground and power on random pins without reverse polarity protection.

@CjMalone True but in the UK that kind of meter is very rare. They have had a mechanism so it only ever measures incoming in for a very long time. In countries where these are still common you are very lucky to be able to buy and sell at the same price.

@nowster @neil Smart meter came with the new build house. Gas side has never worked properly, and I have to give them manual readings.
Electricity meter being smart is really useful when you have solar panels, batteries and ev although working out how to minimise bills with such a set up becomes very interesting.
