We’re mostly on Tesla’s, kona or Kia e-niro, all which get near on 300 miles.
I am intrigued to see how I get on with my Kona though, especially as I don’t have a fast charging point at home. How do you charge? X

See more...

I did look at the Konas, as I really like Hyundais, especially all the extras they include in the higher specs but I couldn’t get one for what I wanted to pay. I also don’t need the range, but could have been useful for trips to England if were ever allowed to leave the IoM again

So far I’m charging from a 3-pin plug but it’s pretty slow. I’m waiting to have a wall charger installed at home, as then I can go onto the tariff for half price electricity overnight (just wait, I’ll have all my appliances running/charging overnight!)

I’m waiting for my wall charger too, and I’ll do the same! Told my husband he won’t be allowed to turn anything on in the day!
I have to say, so far the Kona is very impressive. It’s got every gadget you can think of. I like the little phone holder that’s a charger (without plugging it in) I’m easily pleased 😂

So have changed to the petrol eco model.
Thanks all for the help.
