At the end of all … Continue reading Still deciding… →

Considering Buying an Ampera – Again!

26th April 2012 SnaxMuppet Leave a comment

Those of you that have been following my experiences with the Nissan Leaf will know that I was seriously considering getting a Vauxhall Ampera as a replacement for my Land Rover Freelander 2.

Diary Saturday 21/4

22nd April 2012 SnaxMuppet Leave a comment

Not charged overnight. 4 miles – Shopping Just to Supermarket! Would I charge at the supermarket? No. Why would I? I am less than 2 miles away and I think that unless you are very much the exception you wouldn’t be far away from where you shop either. Supermarket charging is not necessary. 17 miles – … Continue reading Diary Saturday 21/4 →
