Good question, they are charging over 200 buses daily on Heliox units across the UK, but the compatibility testing will be key to reliability. Some good options for Tesla drivers, others not so much.

First Bus has announced its investment in a state-of-the-art consumer electric vehicle (EV) charging hub at its Summercourt depot in Cornwall. This move by the bus industry will provide direct access to rapid electric charging infrastructure for electric cars and vans, making it the first of its...

Wow, just checked it out, it is fantastic!

Great to read, a regular trip for me.

Just what we did, whilst queueing to get off the ferry - the work of seconds. Emovis toll tag worked a treat. Beware - ordered our LEZ sticker about four weeks ago and still waiting for it to arrive.

I was at Tebay on Tuesday evening and there was 9 cars in front of me queueing to charge, at just after 9pm. It took an hour to chug through them before we could charge. A guy in a model S was saying the queue was 3 hours long at one point so as he was down to 3% on arrival, he just parked up...

Named after a space ship in the Iain M Banks Culture series: Clear Air Turbulence.

Calling in there tomorrow, doing Kinross - Cockermouth - Chorley for family visits, Gretna makes the most sense to stop at, just hoping for a quieter day on the chargers. The M6 north of Cheshire and all the way to Glasgow on the M74 does really need a bit of an upgrade supercharger wise.

An i3 we have had since new and is up to 75k miles and a flat six manual convertible for those warm weekend days.

Makes me feel very relaxed, 264 kwh DC in 11,500 miles so far!

Same here, the last update seems to have given random issues - will try a reboot.

TeslaFi says 296 Wh/Mile including any drain. LR New in December, 10,400 miles

The traffic levels are pretty low up here and I was trying to be good! Overtaking with bikes on the back feels slightly naughty...

Tesla - 7 days!

Got 250 miles on fast cross country roads in Scotland (including Glencoe) with two bikes on the tow bar and two relatively big kids bikes with wheels removed in the boot. 276 wh/mi which I thought was not too bad.

Following.

The M3 does do this, if you either tap on the style of satnav on the top left of the screen, one of the modes is the entire route which shows the estimated state of charge at the end of the journey or if you did a round trip back to your current point. It will also do this if you drag down on...

Yes, regrettably I have experienced exactly the same issue. I have never been able to get a charge out of Kinross P&R in the 3 despite no issues with our i3. Also couldn’t get anything out of the Real Food Cafe at Tyndrum rapid charger yesterday, but the one at Glencoe thankfully worked fine...

In Scotland the Charge Scotland stuff is usually pretty reliable. I have a card rather than rely on the app and the variable phone signal.

Trip up north of Aviemore to Findhorn Valley, trying to catch site of eagles!

Attitude Adjuster after a ship from the Culture - a series from Iain M Banks

Mine too, extended a month. Let’s hope we are able to make longer journeys at some point fairly soon. Miles Jan - 2176 Miles Feb - 1456 Miles March -1298 Miles April - 69 Miles May - 407 (310 work related, key worker moments)

I realise beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, but I think our i3 looks great. Such an innovative, relatively roomy, lightweight, small and fun to drive little electric car has no comparison, except perhaps the Honda E. My wife loves hers and it copes with the two kids and our...

Here’s some fitted.

First use of my aftermarket items - knew there was a reason I got some!

Cheers Rustybkts, flaps ordered from EV Accessories and fitted today. They didn’t have any blue left in stock but went for the classic black look. I see what you mean about the website...

Loving my M3 LR and after three months have already clocked up 6,000 miles, but with only three supercharge sessions. After hand washing today I noticed the ares to the lower sill immediately behind the front wheel and the same height immediately behind the rear wheels seems to have changed...

Depends! Since getting the car on the 18th December I am averaging 312 wh/mile, so on a full charge 230 miles. But this is the worst time of the year, I commute on Scottish motorways or fast A roads, I only condition one way and don’t really hang about. With the temps improving the consumption...

And here was me thinking it was my short arms! I do agree, a bit more to the right would be very helpful.

My M3LR, my good lady’s i3 alongside. Second pic is after number plate surround removal.

Sounds great Mr H!

Looking at my lifetime maps, which I regret starting until about a week after some serious Christmas family mileage to the north of England, it looks like I have a real south west - north east Scotland bias, nothing north west to south east! Must get out more. Considering a European road trip...

App works maybe 50% of the time with my old Samsung, I always have the card!

Looks like just a basic update, cannot see much new?

Oh yes...., the state inside after 4 years use with a Leaf then i3 and now a M3.

Inspired by this thread I have removed the plastic surrounds and on the front gone with a sticker whilst on the rear a plate with sticky pads. It does look so much better.

Same as me, two buckets every second week, seems a shame to have a filthy one!

Love mine! Normal alloys, pah!

V50 D5 - awesome and tuneful company car Merc E250 estate - huge for small kids stuff Volvo D6 - first steps with a plug, limited boot but fast BMW i3 Rex - used for all my commuting Jaguar XJ Super V8 LWB- used for all my long journeys Tesla M3 LR - replaced the two above

Many thanks!

Hello Picked up my LR3 two weeks ago and enjoying the experience so far! Trying hard to get the best out of the car whilst also appreciating all that a M3 can bring If anyone could let me have a referral that would be great. Thanks Andrew

Picked up my LR in blue with black interior and a tow bar today. Very smooth handover and love the car, the range on the motorway and a warm 11 degrees was well over 300 miles. Sound system quality awesome too. Very happy!

Thanks for the advice. All new to me too, apart from a Wii, this is the first console in the family!
