The ultimate sin

Well, forgive me and pray for my soul. I have just committed the ultimate evil sin and bought an electric car. Will it run on veg or bio? Help needed urgently.
ps. Hope you will still speak to me at the BBB in July. I'll either come in the diesel van or walk there.

You could always charge your car from a diesel generator on bio to help make amends

I'd buy electric in a heartbeat if I could afford it.
MIL has an electric Kia and it's ace. Hired the Tesla Model 3 Performance and that was fun to drive.

I also committed the very same last August. Got to say electric cars are amazing to drive.
We also have an XC90 which is now always the reserve car and I still make bio for that although I'm only doing about 4 batches per year now.
I think it could be a while before there is a 7 seat EV that can pull my caravan or boat or a 2 tonne trailer that sells for a price that I could afford though.

proper hybrid, has about 25miles of battery range and can drive normally etc. (25miles if the hearer is off anyway)
it's so smooth and responsive it's really really nice to drive

I forgive you Ian, having not run bio/veg for around 5 years myself it's hard to hold it against you.
I drove a Tesla last week, even though it was only the single motor version it still went very well. Not my type of car, but fun for 5 minuets.

I confess too! 3 years with my Tesla now, and the diesel Megane has gone after almost 100k on home made bio!
I have some methanol still in the garage and potassium if anyone can use it? Wigan area.
