Got the charging point installed for £400 - again through a work referral though I've sent it for £449 without. Not really noticing much difference in electric costs, certainly cheaper than filling up in Costco where I used to go.
My mother has been looking at getting an EV for years now, but due to the near 4m drop from the road to the house it's physically impossible to charge at home.
I'm lucky in that I can have off road parking, so if I ever decide to get a car, it will be electric.
And to be honest, even today I've been considering actually learning to drive.
Since the last X21 from Gateshead to Bishop now leaves at ~9:30pm, it's been an absolute pain trying to go to the cinema with friends. One finishes work at 6:30pm, and really the latest a film can start for it to end in time for me to catch the last bus is 7pm, so there's literally like 2 options available.
In the past it would have been fine since I believe the last bus left ~11pm, but since they haven't put the later buses back on I'm a bit screwed!
