Shame, I'm either going to a show on the mainland ("up west" as they say) that weekend or I'm working in the cab... the latter looking more likely at present.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Yis can come around and look at my EV if youse want and I'll only charge you half what the RDS is charging  :P




On a side note, got another message from Linders that they're 'great deals' for taxi drivers trading in their current MG EV for a newer one.  They must be desparate to shift EV's...

If you got another grant you'd probably make a profit from trading up... or is there a clawback/rollover of the original grant?

It's mad how we get used to the comforts of theses new jammers.My latest favourite the is preheating the car to remove the ice off the windshield via my mobile app in the house 15 feet away...you can preheat the seats too but I don't like to sound like a total wanker..

Dunno how I ever did without it.It's gonna be hard to downgrade on my next motor.

Heated seats and no work...living the dream.

Re heating and the battery...  Obviously use the central heating to heat up the car in the morning but once the car is ok, just use the heated seats to heat yourself during the day.  Heated seats use less energy and extends the battery range.

Yeah I noticed it's more efficient that way Watty.The heating in my yoke needs a bit of tuning.It seems to fog up a fair bit and my feet can be a little cold sometimes,probably due to lack of use or diabetes on the way... Everytime they do an update they change something.Just like Tesla they build the vehicles then fix the software afterwards.

Park the jammer further away from the gaff thus improving your circulation before you sit down...don't mention it! 8)
