i've managed about 160 miles in it and it's been pretty nice to drive.
a full battery gets me almost to the office (where there are free chargers). yesterdays journey back home (25miles) gave me a fuel consumption of 155mpg... the app is pretty good, although not having a web interface is annoying. Also got my pod point charger installed today, which means I can finally charge the car at home rather than at the local sainsburys. =) there is one thing I've just realised.... did any of you guys buying a T8 get the government plug-in car grant applied to your order? Seems the dealer didn't put that discount down on my order form.... gonna be ****ed if they pocketed the £2500.... |

The grant only applies to cars up to £60k so mine wasn’t eligible.

Congrats on the car. I am picking mine up next week.
The rules around eligibility for the grant were changed in 2018. Only BEVs are on the list. Category 2 and 3 vehicles (pretty much all PHEVs) are no longer eligible. https://www.gov.uk/plug-in-car-van-grants |

yup... but i ordered mine in June when the grant was still valid..
I'm guessing it's based on the RRP of the vehicle as i didn't pay £60k for my car. =) |

Correct. It is based on RRP and doesn’t take into account any discount you may have got. Mine was well over the threshold despite about 11.5% discount so wouldn’t have been eligible either way.
