You could really take the piss and charge at a customers house.

I reckon that if I needed one I could find a charging point in my area if I really tried.

Thing is how many of them are working , down here many are shown on a map but don’t work or there is 4 in a Tesco car park for 1,000 cars so not much chance of them being free when you need it

This is true.

Yesterday I had an email for a softwash quote that’s 42 mile away. I started to wonder if the E custom would make it there and back with half payload and cold weather. Then again, I’d probably just wait for the weather to warm up a bit before doing the job.

There is a range calculator on the Ford website for the E custom. In 0 degree weather you may only get 88 miles when motorway driving with a full load. That’s pretty horrendous  ::)roll

Lots to consider.

Anyway, I’ve got my MOT tomorrow, so let’s see how that goes before making a proper decision.

I wouldn’t even consider adding that extra level of stress to my working  day just to save a few quid. Not a chance.

It sounds like you had a great experience with the electric vehicle! The blend of smooth, quiet driving, responsive steering, and impressive features like the digital display and rear camera make it stand out. It's interesting how the range adjusts based on heating and usage—good to keep in mind for planning longer trips. The appeal of maintenance-free electric motoring is hard to ignore, especially compared to the concerns with diesel engines like DPF and wet belts. If you can get a deal that works for you, it sounds like this could be a solid and enjoyable choice!

I suspect it's AI. Has that non-human feel to it.

Weird that Josh Way-I is reading the full context of a window cleaning forum thread and posting though, isn't it? To what end I wonder?

Josh, if you're not AI then I apologise but the post does have the whiff of computer generated-ness
