@fossyant I can see the temptation there. The Zoe is programmed to crawl @5mph like a traditional auto, so pretty good in traffic and none of that gear changing nonsense. My left knee sometimes aches if I get a day when I'm out driving a lot at work from using the clutch.
Dedicated parking and free fuel from work - think of it as a pay rise. Incidentally it cost us £5k from here We did try a Leaf as well, but it is a bigger car and my wife just preferred the Zoe.
The range for the caravan - we only get around a 60 mile range, and charging from a 3 pin plug has issues. Renault don't want you to do it - it took 12 hours from nearly empty when we first got it (before we had the charging point installed) but we've only had to do it the once. The 3-pin plug cables are not standard.
Ours is one of the earlier cars, the range went to 80+ with the later newer motors (possibly 2015 onwards). 2017 cars battery capacities have gone from 22kWh to 40kWh with subsequent rise in range.
Shame they don't know about vat though. They are saying business users can claim vat back. Good luck with that.
They actually look half decent. No good for me though as I don't have a drive to park on.
