Excuses for a drive

Have you noticed how easy it is to do with regen controlling the inertia compared to an ICE that would fly past the speed limit if accellerating hard up to it.

Very good point, I thinks it's the main reason I still have my driving licence after 12 months (and minimal wear & tear on the brakes as an added bonus)

It's 3 miles to the nearest shop but 12 miles to the nearest supermarket and 15 miles to the nearest Lidl. My OH dropped and broke the marmite yeaterday while I was out getting a few bits. She did text me but I 'missed' the text. I'll pop out to Lidl to get the marmite later because she doesn't know about the spare jar in the larder...

I keep a secret larder in our annex for such emergencies. I can juggle ‘necessary’ shopping trips as desired

We have some ground on the other side of the road where the car is sometimes parked ... but the charger is on the same side as the house obviously ... so I need to drive the car across the road, through our gates and park beside the charger ... and for some reason this distance is frequently about 12 miles ... strange!!

As Beady said, taking the scenic route. Given where you live and all the scenic routes available, I'm surprised it was only 12 miles.
