Day 8 of Quarantine, get to play with my nose again today
So whilst grounded, a second guest post from Contact, ex-colleague and friend Iain Minton who bought a Kia e-niro in January
As you may have guessed Iain is better at engineering than taking straight pictures, or is this artistic?
“after the first 1000 miles in my kia e-niro the most difficult thing is the heat” Iain lives in a sub-Arctic region, the NW England. So his problems may be amplified in much hotter regions, such as Stoke or Spain so let him tell you of his quandary: “do I out the aircon on and lose 10% range or open the windows?” I can confirm this quandary on the ID3.
“With an 11 kw home charger keeping the car full is easy, and when the local Tesco lets you fill up free then everyone’s in. Did you know how many electric cars there are – they’re always at the Tesco!”
“One of the things of having an ev is the constant range envy. The kia tells you what the current ev usage is and the percentage you’ve used. Now I’ve spent 21% of my consumption on the radio – did I have it too loud?”
“Finally, having read the blog, I found the kia has a sport mode – I’ve been in grandfather eco mode since I got it, something to try later – but I’ll leave the trickle charge and the earthed converter to Pat”
Just got an ID3 
Having spent a couple of days in the Lake District I have a new goal, how many miles can you accumulate in regeneration. I achieved 8 miles going down Kirkstone pass, beat that!!!!

How much did you use going up, if it was less than the equivalent gained going down you should patent it
