Cheaper holidays EV charging

I’m sure they will become cheaper in time just as all modern tech has.  

It is a bit freaky at first but I soon got used to driving it to the extent that when I get in our other car I wonder why it’s got stonking great handbrake and auto gear change levers instead of small switches. I find myself looking for flappy paddles too😂

My new car doesn't have a handbrake either, just a button to start it and just a small stalk to select foward, reverse or park.

That’s nice.

When you drive your EV tinny do you feel very relaxed as I imagine. My truck is geared & takes a certain amount of concentration. EV’s seem to be way more relaxing, a kind of zen thing going on👍🏻😊

It's definitely relaxing, Rocky. All the controls are light and easy. It’s effortless and there’s no sensation of the car changing gear either as it’s just forwards or backwards in linear drive. A really laid back experience. 🤙

Just like my Sorento, except perhaps for the linear drive, but i get 250+ miles with the box in tow

I agree with all that you said Tinny - until you floor it. Then it not so much laid back as pushed back. And when you do (which I do if I need to over take, but very very rarely from standstill) that linear drive with no gear changes is pretty astonishing. The closest thing to the experience I can recall is the relentless push into your seat that you get from a small jet on takeoff. But (much) more aggressive...

We get the sensation from both our EVs, the little Fiat 500E and the Polestar, the Polestar is just far more powerful.
