After a night of wild weather , we woke to sunshine and a fully charged car in the garage. This is the norm for many EV drivers who charge overnight at home and start each day at 100%. It is a novelty for us though.
We had booked Sunday lunch at a nearby pub and took a drive into Bude first for a coffee with the papers, our Sunday morning ritual.
Jamie has a bad foot so I drove. We usually have to negotiate who’s driving these days. He only really has the weekends and holidays to get behind the wheel, and we both love driving the Leaf, so it’s often a bit of a tussle.
One thing that is very noticeable, are the wind turbines and solar farms, and we were encouraged to see these. The house we’re staying in has a couple of solar panels on the roof, so we really are driving on renewable energy this week.
As the foot needs to rest this afternoon, in front of the footie, I will take myself for a wee walk and get in some steps , while the weather is good.
Car is back in the garage charging up for tomorrow, as we used a whopping 21% on our journey today.
