Good Luck with your shiny new Ariya !

Unfortunately I have to inform you of the vary sad news that DaveBerlin, reportedly, has passed away a few months ago.
Dave indeed was a valuable source of information and assistance to us all.

Hi Qaifan
That’s really sad news about Dave
I had only emailed him a month or so ago and thought it was odd he hadn’t replied
So very very sad he will be missed

Nick what were your thoughts about going all electric? What were the deciding factors for you. What spec did you go for. Personally I’m still hesitant about all electric. Considerably more expensive, whilst I don’t need the extra performance. Would be good to know what swayed it for you.

Hope your new car (it looks fantastic) meets all your expectations.

Hi Steve
I have a Friend who works for Nissan so got aCracking deal, I went for the evolve 87 kw which does 300 miles so for me anything over 250 miles was the tipping point!
I am also spending a fortune on fuel now as doing more weekly mileage so thought time to just go for it!
That’s hope it was the right decision!
Thanks for asking
Nick

I suppose there's a possibility that this forum might expand to include the Ariya - we've been discussing it for ages.

Think that would be a good idea.
