I would of taken a pic of the outside but its just a white van & it needs a wash...

Just drives like an auto, just torque from the off no build up of revs, bit weird not having an engine noise, you do get a faint turbine type whine & the road noise & thats it...

Range fully charged shows 131miles... I did just 25 miles today, it tells me the range left is 93miles :confused

I'll have to start driving more like a granny...hahahaha

Thought this might have sparked off a battery of replies, but it's gone a bit flat.

There will be 300 leccy charging stations by the end of this year in London.
By the time all the cars are electric, I think there'll be a very long queue at each charging point.
The commute might even end up being slower that the train.......

IMHO electric vehicles need to be able to charge up their own batteries as they go, so they won't be a drain on the national grid,
