πŸ˜„ I’m sure it’s fine, and just me being overly cautious as usual.
I might have to speak very nicely to my in-laws about getting a charger installed up there…

Fair enough. I have heard of horror stories using a 3-pin charge though…

πŸ˜…πŸ‘ I initially charged my current hybrid vehicle with a 3-pin lead. The only reason I stopped is that for a whole night of charge I only managed about 25 miles of charge, so barely worth it.

I’ve always read that’s not an advisable/safe option…

for that out of my own pocket, or else rely on using the charge card my employers will provide. Which is fine, but part of the convenience of EV is that you can charge at home, which I would lose out on. The other issue is charging at my regular long distance destination of Scarborough…

Nice summary.
I’m going to be β€˜forced’ down the road of EV as I get a vehicle with the job that I can also use for personal journeys. My only issue is having a charger installed at home, about 25m from the house at the bottom of the garden where my off-road parking is! I would have to fork out 1/2

Interesting! If I remember correctly, you’ve recorded it once before in your garden?!

Errrr, I’m not sure I want to divulge in the public domain. Might be best done at one of our regular 1-2-1 therapy sessions?

Yes, I’m easily overexcited too by these things…you may have noticed πŸ˜„πŸ˜†

Best of luck, Ruth. I’m sure the local Shoulder Stripe population will find the MV light irresistible πŸ˜…

Yeh afternoon best.
Just one big Oak near to my garden, but still manage to lure in giganteana, so worth trying anywhere…which sounds like you have been!

I knew I’d get you hooked on the chemicals eventually. You’ll need to be drug tested by the end of the season.

Good stuff. You’ll have to see how many new giganteana dots you can add to the Derbys map now πŸ€ͺ
