Money saving smooth briliance

I've had my merc eqa or about 5 months now and its cost me a little under £100 to do 3k miles its a no brainer to go to EV motoring from a money saving point of view.
its very quite on most road surface dependant and i couldn't ask for more unlike a tesla its has buttons where you want them and goes really well for a heavy SUV that is build from a petrol/diesel merc GLA chassis and body shell so as a non ground up build its an amazing factory conversion.
I've opted to lease like most people and its the same monthly cost as my last TDI german car but will not paying £2 a litre for diesel that was costing me £130 a tank min some weeks £148.
The users manaul is utter juk and has no idea what your looking for and its online online but it appears a re-call will see and hard paper copy so alot of feature like re-gen braking i found out from a quick you tube search.
i found it a slow charge like all EV's from a 3 pin plug but everything else 7,11,22, 150 & 350kw chargers the sme speed if not a bit quicker than other EV's out there.
I did a super fast charge on the motorway once that was a 350kw charger that cost me £23 to charge from 24% to 100% and that took a mind blowing 17mins i was still in the que for my coffee when the app told me it had finished charging.
I'm happliy charged over night on my garage 3 pin plug while waiting for my home charger to be inslated unlike the jag ipace that hates 3 pin plug and wont charge at all on a extension lead my merc charges fine on any electric thats throw at it :)
the merc app tho it r****** constantly crashing and now the last 3 month hasn't worked at all and their web team is working on it.
I do a mix of long trips, midium 150miles a day trips and around fast ton road layouts & its been issues and range anxity free this whole time.
I would buy another one tomorro.
I wish the boot was bigger like all suv's its too small and not deep enough I'd go for a e-class estate if your buying for a family car and need push chairs loading etc...
