Today's the day

I've organised our first EV 'meet up' by the seaside in 1066 Country. Hopefully, we will have lots of EVs on view with owners able to answer any questions the public have about driving an electric vehicle.

We might have the toughest audience with some 200+ 4x4 Range Rover owners. It's being held at a 4x4 specialist garage and the owner is preparing the business to focus on electric vehicles in the future.

At least, I'm not the only EV in the village any more! But EVs are still few and far between in my neck of the woods.

Anyway, wish us luck!

Well done Guv, sounds like it could be a fun day.

Well done CT good luck, sounds like it could be a fun morning [Thumb_up.png]

We’ll need pictures of the more exotic EV’s, especially if there are any Porsche Taycan Turbo’s in attendance. Also, the best and worst miles per kW readings of the day [Like.png]

Re: Today's the day

It went really well for our first meet. Next time, we need to find somewhere bigger, warmer where we can sit out on some grass and enjoy the sunshine.

As requested, here are some piccys. No exotic EVs, we ain't rich down here.

I don’t know, a Jaguar Ipace is exotic enough for me, plus a couple of Tesla's [Like.png]
Nice selection of vehicles though, good to see a classic Leaf there even though it's a courtesy car [Happy.png]
