MR240v is mobile, and eating up the miles.... or should that be kilometres... and providing a little fun for the family at last, after all those weeks hiding in a workshop getting ‘upgraded’.

Of course some would argue that converting to an EV wasn’t an upgrade at all, given problems like range anxiety - feeling like someone’s given you a tiny five litre fuel-can to get home on; and having to charge it all the time.

On the other hand, it becomes more like a mobile phone, which we usually charge each night regardless, and I enjoy the fact that the increase in electricity charges are a lot less than the drop in fuel bills... AND that the PV panels on our roof are providing sustainable - green - power, producing no carbon to do it.

Now that the car is licensed I have time to work on the appearance side of things, the bling, as Daniel calls it, but I think he has suggested most of the ideas: blue LED lights in the old engine-bay-now-electric-motor bay; a clear plastic motor cover so people can see the batteries and motor and so on.

Drive on, and enjoy the zany feeling of being better than carbon-neutral, I am driving a zero-carbon car. Much better to walk and ride everywhere, of course, but when you have to drive, what a feeling!
