So far so good

So far the operation has been smooth and reliable. I got the battery to zero bars once, and started charging immediately. 
Tried to use the remote timer function and it worked great, charging the car early in the morning, just before going to work.
The morning routine of walking the dog and switching the heating on works great.
Noticing an increasing number of EVs near the free charging stations near my home.
Wondering how long the free cheese will last : ). It's great to know that that electricity is from extra solar panels our housing complex has for these purposes.

As for driving experience - still getting used to the quietness. Music is so much better. I like the twitters in the front. The speed - following the speed limit in general. Driving on Eco. Got accustomed to situations where you need to merge into fast traffic - just press harder.

Noticing the reduced regen on the fully charged car. The car protects the battery : ). Maybe i should leave the last bar uncharged, since the first few miles are downhill anyway...
