3. EV TIP: LISTEN TO A GOOD PODCAST

4. EV CHARGE: GOOGLE MAPS

Take a look on Google Maps and find where you can charge you car. There are hubs with [6] or more CCS Rapid DC Chargers across 202 Sites.

5. EV REVIEW: RAC

Land Rover Range Rover Evoque P300e PHEV

If you're set on the smart second generation version of the Range Rover Evoque and you'd like an alternative to diesel power, we'd recommend the PHEV Plug-in P300e model over the conventional petrol variants.

This mates a three-cylinder 1.5-litre petrol unit putting out 197hp with a 107hp electric motor and can offer an electric driving range of up to 41 miles, with CO2 emissions of just 32g/km.

As with all plug-ins, there's an inevitable price premium to pay for the extra technology but there are no compromises in passenger space and you get all the same off road ability as with the standard car.

6. EV VIDEO: THE UNBIASEDBLOG TV

The entry-level Comet EV Pace starts at Rs 7.98 lakh, the mid-spec Comet EV Play is priced at Rs 9.28 lakh, while the top-end Comet EV Plush costs Rs 9.98 lakh (ex-showroom). We take a look at the equipment and features on offer on each of these three trims.

Until next time. Have a fantastic week!
