Have a look at this lifted from the Chevy forum:

"All changed for me now.

I'm on 1700 miles and used 1.6 Gallons since mid-May.

I had a Chargemaster fitted by British Gas under the Source London Scheme.  It will work out £400 installed with 3 year warranty and 3 years of cover for all the electrics in the house.

Full charge in 4 hours at home now and use the standard charger at work occasionally if I need a top up to go somewhere on the way home. 

Maximum 49 miles on full charge....minimum 32 miles (mainly motorway).

I have had a few error messages, but Phoenix have just sorted this out for me."

That mileage is terrible!

[MR MISTER]

Sorry...Chevy volt.

Volt, which is the Ampera here? It's a big car, I'm not surprised by the low miles on leccy.

Only way I'd go leccy is if car was sub £5k, would easily last 10 years and I could charge it at work

You can get the volt over here. Different car to the ampera.

For that kind of range it must have less battery capacity than the leaf. On a bad day 70 miles range, I have done 95 on a full charge.

BG are booked in to install a home charger once I move in to the new place which will give me a full charge from empty in 8 hours.  The install is free but any extra work needed to fit it is charged extra.  £400 seems quite excessive given that it's a 16amp feed installed directly in to the fusebox on it's own dedicated ring.

I stand corrected young'un.
How come I drive a Daewoo if it's 'mechanically identical' to a zafira then?

Because, dear Esta, the Zafira is a Daewoo not the other way round.

Quite a blog load space in those, isn't there, Esta.

If you mean big load space, yes. Room for lots of wheels.
