Check out the price of some Renault traffic E-Techs.

One year old, hardly any miles, and only £15,000 plus vat.

One year old electric van is the way to go if you want a new vehicle with warranty that isn’t going to burst the bank.

Talking about Tax, I have came up with a novel idea to bump up some customers prices. I'm telling them I need to add a pound next month to cover tax digital. Not even bothered if they cancel because today I picked up a new customer and when I told him its a tenner a month he said is that all.

Just gone in the loft to do a sort out.
Pulled a few boxes down with s/e tax return records going back to 2007 😳.
How long do you keep them.
From what I can gather its 5 yrs from date submitted
 Is this right?
I hope so as I want to bin a few early years.😁

Yep. 5 years.

I'm pretty sure it's 7 years not 5 years....

I have at least 20 years of tax records. HMRC can go back this far if they decided to audit you.

Personally I think its foolish to get rid of any tax records.

Nice one, it’ll take a bit of getting used to.

We use the Hypervolt charger for our ev car, would recommend it. Once you’re charging at home, youll realise how easy the whole ev switch is.

I’ve never used a charging point anywhere else, we have the eon off peak ev tarriff and can charge our car once or twice a week for less than £3.50 a go.

So that’s me done a weeks work with my E Custom. The van itself is quite brilliant, a pleasure to drive, very smooth and it glides nicely over the various road surfaces, in fact it’s such a comfortable ride that I now find it a drag to drive our X4M about town as it obviously has much stiffer suspension.

I don’t have a home charger installed yet so I’m relying on public chargers at the moment which is a bit of a pain. The van only charges to 90% ( I will need to look into this ) which gives a range of 160 miles, the reality is that of the predicted 160 miles I will actually get around 130 miles in the winter months. Not a problem as I don’t do a lot of miles.

The ratchet strapping of the flat tank isn’t ideal but it is the best solution at the moment, I have one  strap going over the top to pull it down to the floor and another going around it pulling it towards the bulkhead, it does feel solid but of course it isn’t crash tested, but then the Waterworks professionaly fitted system for EV’s won’t have been crash tested either?

I mentioned in another thread that the water sloshing was terrible in the flat tank, I have added 25 metres of 100mm perforated drainage pipe cut into shorter lengths, this has made a big difference.

All in all a very positive first week, the only negative so far being that there doesn’t seem to be a viable option of a bolted in tank/frame.

The key is to set your stall out at the start.

Mine is ...

No cancellations.
No late payments.
No weather or holiday dependent skipping.

If they break those rules without a blisteringly good reason - dumped.

Don't care whether they live in a council house or a mansion.

Put the bad payers on go cardless, I've around 15 on it at the moment, another few are just about to get a slip saying payment is changing and to change over before next clean or they won't be getting done.

Every single one I've put the slip through telling them to sign up have signed up. It did take a couple of them a few months before they realised they weren't getting cleaned until they had done it.

I just wait until I've cleaned them all then take all the payments when I've cleaned the last one that month, basically pays the van payment every month.
