Karol’s Korner Welcome to the September issue. I hardly feel as though summer has begun and already the nights are drawing in! Soon the children will be back at school and we will be out buying pumpkins for Halloween!

This traditionally is the season for visiting schools, and trying to decide on our children’s best options for the future. Make sure to check out our Education section - pages 8 to 11 for further info.

And not that I want to mention the C word, but once the schools reopen and a crispness returns to the air, everyone starts thinking of Christmas! Get those little (or big) jobs done in plenty of time this year, to make your Christmas less stressful!

Have a good September!

Karol

Technology for the new term You don’t need to pay full price for your child’s computing If your child needs a computer for schoolwork, don’t get downhearted by the high prices you’ll see in your local Apple Store or electronics emporium. You don’t need to spend a lot to get a good computer.

There are three main types of computer.

Windows ones, which run Windows 10 (don’t get ones with older versions; that usually means the hardware’s really old too); Chromebooks, which run Google’s Chrome operating system; and Apple ones. For most places the choice is entirely up to you, but some specialist courses at college or university may require specialist software.

If you’re looking for a Windows or Chromebook laptop, there’s good news: those kinds of laptops are almost always on sale, so you can expect a wide range of bargains. Sites such as Techradar. com have monthly round-ups of the best deals, organised into price bands: at the time of writing there’s a really nice Asus laptop for just £159, while more expensive laptops are available with discounts ranging from £175 to over £400. Sites often provide reviews of the products, so you can be sure you’re not buying something that won’t be up to the job.

Another way to save cash is to buy a refurbished computer. This means it’s been used by somebody else and then returned to as-new FRQGLWLRQ $ QXPEHU RI ¾UPV VSHFLDOLVH LQ VXFK computers and the discounts can be enormous: for example, Laptops Direct currently has a perfectly decent Windows 10 laptop for just £109.

If your child wants Apple kit, you’ll know it’s 6

often very expensive.

Shopping around doesn’t usually uncover much in the way of discounts but you can still save money if you know where to look. Apple has a refurbished Mac store on Apple.com. and at the time of writing it’s offering Mac minis with a typical saving of £140, alongside MacBooks, MacBook Airs, MacBook Pros and iMacs with £160 to £190 off. Third party refurbished sellers can offer even bigger discounts but check the age of the product: may third-party computers are a few years old, which isn’t necessarily a problem but does affect how big a bargain you’re getting: don’t compare the price of a three-year-old Mac with what Apple’s charging for a new one.

End of line stock can be good too. Every time Apple updates its product range, the previous models are often sold at a discount. Keep an eye on eBay and you can save stacks – we’re writing this on an iMac we got brand new for two-thirds of the list price by looking for end of line stock – but make sure you stick to business sellers with solid, positive feedback going back years.

Last but not least, there are second-hand computers. Many ‘power users’ replace their computers regularly, and those computers are still more than powerful enough for the rest of XV H%D\ DQG FODVVL¾HG DGYHUWLVLQJ VLWHV VXFK DV Gumtree can be great sources of good secondhand computers, but be wary. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

phone. (It’s proven an absolute hit with my seven and ten year old.)

The watch itself costs £69.99 and you’ll need to choose a rolling network plan, which costs from £10 a month. You can also customise the watch with different straps, which cost £7.50 each. See www. moochies.com.

Tech for Tweens Kid-friendly technology that keeps you in control Child-friendly tablets With Amazon’s Kindle Fire, you can activate parental controls to limit how much screen time your child has, when they can use their tablet and what they can do on it. It’s also worth adding the YouTube Kids app, which ¾OWHUV RXW XQVXLWDEOH FRQWHQW and allows you to cherry-pick the channels you’re happy for your child to watch.

Have an accident-prone child or just want extra peace of mind? It might be worth paying extra for the Amazon Fire Kids Edition tablet. It’s priced around £100 to £200 depending on the screen size and memory, but comes with a robust case and a two year quibble-free warranty. You also get a year’s subscription to Fire for Kids Unlimited (normally £3.99 a month), which gives your child access to thousands of age-appropriate apps, game, 10

videos and books – see www. amazon.co.uk.

Smart watches Most children’s smart watches allow kids to take photos and play games. The Moochies watch also allows children to text and call people, but only those who’ve been approved by the parent. So, your child can call you to ask if they can go to a friend’s house after school, send a text message to their cousin and video call their granny, but they can’t call or text anyone you haven’t approved.

There are several pocket money apps and cards on the market The Moochies watch is ideal for children who are old enough for a bit more independence, but not quite old enough for their own

Pocket money apps If your child is old enough to go shopping on their own, you might want to look at getting them a prepaid debit card. There are several pocket money apps and cards on the market, including Go Henry, which allows you to transfer money to the card, decide how much your child can spend, and keep an eye on what they’re spending their money on.

You can also set them chores to earn extra money. So, for instance, you might set them the task of hoovering once a week to earn £2. Once they complete the task, you mark it as done on the parent app and the money is transferred from your account to theirs.

You can also set up savings goals and kids can choose to give a percentage of their pocket money to charity.

Go Henry costs £2.99 per child, per month at www. gohenry.com/uk. Similar schemes include Nimbl (£2.49 a month) and Osper (£2.50 a month).

ROADSHOW CO 6th September 2019 11am – 2pm

Best Western Deincourt Hotel, London Rd, Newark NG24 1TF

Krugerrand

Breitling

Amber Urgently required!

THE EAST MIDLANDS ANTIQUES ROADSHOW arrives in Newark and offers local people the unique opportunity to come along and have a free valuation of any item and possibly be made a firm spot cash offer without any obligation.

Mr Franks recalls an instance the last time East Midlands Antiques were in the area, when a couple came along with a selection of old broken and incomplete rings, a few items of unusual jewellery and an old broken gentleman’s wristwatch, expecting only a small amount and they were totally amazed to receive over £2,000. Another astonishing story was when a crystal vessel estimated at just £100-£200 was sold for £220,000. So why not take this chance to search through your attic, drawers and cupboards, to see if you could also be sitting on a fortune. Don’t be afraid or embarrassed. You will find our representatives most helpful, courteous and friendly. There is no obligation to sell, so if you just require a free evaluation, no problem. All transactions are strictly cash.

Mr Franks said the reasons for choosing the area are numerous. Many valuable articles were found in the last visit to the area. For instance on one occasion this year a Rolex, valued at £2,000-£3,000 fetched a staggering £48,000. The hotel is well known to local residents and is well placed with plenty of car parking available.

So on Friday 6th September, you have the chance to visit the hotel and see our accredited buyers and valuers absolutely free. Mr Franks has over 20 years experience of professional valuations and now his expertise is available at no cost to you. Specialising in oil paintings, water colours and many other articles. Medals, decorations and orders are one of the most collectable items and East Midlands Antiques has a waiting list of collectors and customers willing to pay for these articles. Please see listed a few of the items we require, but due to limited space not everything is listed, so if you are in any doubt, bring it along! LADIES – LOOK IN YOUR JEWELLERY BOXES. If you have any old broken rings, chains, earrings, old gold wrist watches or items with stones missing, then bring down the box and let us surprise you. Amber and Jade, costume jewellery – high prices paid. WE MAKE HOUSE CALLS IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO VISIT. For further information or an appointment please contact us on: 07930 157 944 any time.We specialise in watches and listed below are just a few of the make we require – BROKEN OR WORKING – ANY CONDITION Omega, Rolex, Breitling, Patek, Philippe, Vachron PLUS MANY OTHER MAKES

Have you watched the BBC programmes Flog It or The Antiques Roadshow?

Our format is exactly the same, but we offer the chance to sell without the uncertainty and commission of the Auction House and if you are unsuccessful at auction there may still be charges to pay. East Midlands Antiques realise that there are some very unusual items that require the exposure of a major auction house and we would be pleased to advise in such cases. However many items do not warrant this and East Midlands Antiques will offer accordingly. Come and try the friendly and discreet service we have provided for many other people like yourselves over the years.

WHO ARE THE CHRISTADELPHIANS? “Who are these Christadelphians?” we hear you say. Let us tell you.

They are a community bound together by a common faith in the gospel preached by Jesus Christ and his apostles: and have borne the name “Christadelphian” since the mid-19th century.

Their name encompasses in one word the phrase, “brethren in Christ”, a phrase used by the apostle Paul to describe 1st century Christians.

[Cf. Colossians 1:20].

SEPTEMBER TALKS 1st September Speaker R. Lower Subject: Getting to know God

by His name 8th September Speaker J. Wilson Subject: 5 good reasons to believe in the Bible

Their faith and teaching stem solely from the Holy Bible, which, as the word of Almighty God, they acknowledge as the sole authority on matters of belief and conduct. They do not believe that any of their members, past or present, have received any special revelation, but that it is the Bible alone that is able to bring men and women to a knowledge of the way of salvation through Jesus Christ.

[CF. 2 Timothy 3:15].

8th September Speaker B. Berry Subject: The real Jesus – who rules the world

There has been a Christadelphian community in Newark for over 168 years, and they now meet in their own hall in Cliff Nook Lane, off Appleton gate, NEWARK, NG24 1LY.

22nd September Speaker J. Westly Subject: Subject to be announced

On Sunday evenings, commencing at 5.15pm, where the first century Christian gospel is preached, and Bible teaching on aspects of behaviour is examined.

You are warmly invited to join us.

In addition you may wish to log on to our international website: www.thisisyourbible.com.

Beauty Boosts Treats for your skin, hair and senses.

If your skin (like you) is feeling a bit ‘meh’ after your summer holiday, try Green People’s Beauty Boost Skin Restore, £21. The creators seem to have set themselves a challenge to see how many supercharged natural ingredients they FDQ ¾W LQWR RQH SURGXFW There’s everything from shea butter and avocado to wakame (a type of seaweed), aloe, rosemary and evening primrose. Skin instantly feels much softer, 20

plumper and fresher.

Mine still felt better 24 hours later. It’s an intensive treatment to use once or twice a week, and a little goes a long way, so the 50ml bottle should last for months. It also smells amazing as it’s scented with calming essential oils such as ylang ylang, mandarin and lavender. Perfect for before bed or when you feel like a bit of an aromatherapy treat, see www.greenpeople. co.uk.

If you’re in the market for a new day cream, Tamaar Skincare’s new Rejuvenate Advanced Natural Anti-Ageing Cream Complex could be just what you’re looking for. The hero ingredient is a date palm extract called D’Orientine, which has been clinically proven to boost collagen by up to 28% and improve the skin’s natural defence systems.

The cream also includes turmeric root extract (an DQWL LQ¿DPPDWRU\ WKDW promotes healing), aloe vera, rose hip oil, argan oil and other plant-based ingredients. It’s packed with antioxidants, vitamins and other goodies. The cream absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling softer and more hydrated. My skin loves it. It’s £47 at www. tamaarskincare.com.

There’s less plastic waste, and the bars are easy to transport. I’ve been trialling The Shine Bar, which lathers well, leaves hair feeling clean and shiny, and has a pleasant citrus fragrance. It also comes in a handy metal storage tin, so is ideal for taking to the gym or for travelling. The Shine Bar costs £9.50 from www. shineshampoobars.co.uk.

Sound Advice Hearing You probably have regular check-ups at the dentist and the opticians, but when did you last have your hearing tested?

ADVICE WORTH HEARING It’s estimated that as many as 1 in 6 people in the UK have some degree of hearing loss, which equates to about 10 million people in the country. This is not limited to people in an older age bracket either.

Hearing loss usually occurs gradually & can cause embarrassment, depression, isolation and has been linked to serious health issues such as dementia.

It can take between 10 & 15 years to come to terms with hearing loss, but we are here to support you. Sound Advice Hearing can help you hear better again and in turn, help improve your quality of life and the lives of everyone around you.

If you think you have a problem, how can we help?

We are a local independent family business, with a full-time hearing care centre in Lincoln, covering Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.

There is easy accessible parking nearby that we are very happy to cover your costs for.

We offer FREE hearing tests in a sound proof environment in our fully equipped centre, or if more convenient, we can also arrange home visits.

We provide independent and impartial advice and can provide a FREE hearing aid trial (with no obligation to buy). You will receive a personalised solution for all your hearing requirements based on lifestyle, cosmetics & budget that will guarantee to change your life forever.

What other services do you offer?

We also provide a comprehensive wax removal service by either irrigation, micro-suction or 22

instrumentation. Our friendly and highly skilled audiologists ensure our patients get the best advice and the most appropriate procedure that is best suited for them.

Wax removal is becoming more & more difficult to have administered through some GP surgeries and can sometimes involve frustrating & lengthy delays. We also provide custom solutions for noise and hearing protection for sporting activities such as shooting and swimming.

How can I tell if I have a hearing problem?

Typical indicators include; • Asking people to repeat themselves • Struggling to hear in noisy environments • Confusing words or misunderstanding what’s being said in conversation • Having to turn the T.V up If you can identify with any of these, then it is important to book your free hearing assessment to determine whether you have any degree of hearing loss.

What should I do next?

The most important thing to do is not ignore it! In most cases hearing deteriorates gradually & it often affects people around you more than yourself. Wearing a hearing aid can make a real difference to your quality of life & those around you.

It’s never too early to look after your hearing.

What makes you different from the competition?

We are a local family run business with many years of experience. We have access to all makes and models of hearing devices and can provide impartial advice accordingly. It’s our combination of this extensive product range, experience, continuity, in depth testing, dedicated time and attention to detail that keep us ahead of the field. We are a hearing care company that is passionate, dedicated and focused on helping you to hear better.

tend to suit larger, period rooms (pelmets, swags and tails may also be an option in this case), while simple curtains are more suited to modern properties. Check the heading, as this determines the way the curtain will hang: usually, a tape sewn to the top of the fabric is pulled to form either loose gathers or more formal pleats, and is hooked onto curtain rings.

Other styles include tab, tie, eyelet or hemmed tops, which look decorative but can sometimes be harder to draw.

Choosing A Window Treatment Curtains, blinds or even shutters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the right window treatment can make or break a room. We look at how to choose the best option for your home.

While maintaining privacy and blocking early-morning light may be their primary functions, window treatments are also a key part of an interior design scheme, adding colour, pattern, texture and an essential element of sophistication.

They can also correct a badly proportioned window, disguise DQ XQDWWUDFWLYH YLHZ žOWHU EULJKW light and provide a visual link between inside and out. But where should one start?

Does the window treatment need to be splash-proof? Once you have considered all the basics, think about the overall style of your home and what else is in the room, and start to narrow down the options.

Curtains When choosing curtains, the colour, pattern and weight of the fabric are the important factors, as is the style of hanging.

Generally, grander curtains

Curtain poles are designed to be on show and come in a variety of materials, with žQLDOV DW HDFK HQG WKDW DUH either simple or ornamental.

fading, dirt and condensation.

Blackout linings are ideal in a bedroom, while thermal linings can be as effective an insulator as double glazing.

Blinds Perfect for smaller rooms, blinds are also great for modern homes and in EDWKURRPV DQG NLWFKHQV ° DQG they tend to be a lot cheaper than curtains. Roller blinds are the most basic style, while roll-up versions, tied with tape or ribbon, have a pretty yet still simple look. Roman blinds are smart and versatile, suiting almost every room.

Choose fabric that is midweight and not too textured, as blinds need to roll or fold easily against themselves.

There is nothing to stop you combining more than one colour or pattern, in the form of smart, contrast borders down the sides or along the bottom of the blind. And sometimes it is a good idea to combine a plain and a sheer fabric, to allow light through at the top of the window while giving privacy beneath.

Shutters Good-looking in an unfussy way, shutters suit both old and new properties. They are

expensive but are good at blocking out sound and light, and can even provide extra security. The plainest shutters feature a timber frame and solid centre panel (a local joiner should be able to make them for you), while louvred versions (from specialist shutter companies) offer privacy while also controlling light.

Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES

LEO

March 21st - April 20th

24th - August 23rd

An embarrassing secret will come to light on or around the 14th, due to a troubling Full Moon. A jealous colleague will shed light on a deception, putting you in an awkward position. Instead of getting defensive, admit your mistake. Ask forgiveness.

Change your behaviour. People will forgive you when they realise you have genuinely turned over a new leaf.

Arguments over an insurance refund, legal settlement or inheritance could erupt on the 14th, due to a contentious Full Moon. It will be necessary to hire a lawyer to represent your interests.

Don't respond to taunting messages from the other side. Keep a record of all the messages you receive. By refusing to get drawn into this drama, you will prevail financially.

SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st On the 14th, the Full Moon will shift your focus to family matters. It will be necessary to take time off work to cope with a real estate deal or domestic dispute. If your employer pressures you to put in long hours, you may decide to find another job. Don't leave your position until you secure another one.

It's much easier to find work when you're already employed.

TAURUS

VIRGO

CAPRICORN

April 21st - May 21st

August 24th - Sept 23rd

December 22nd - Jan 20th

It will be difficult to reconcile your friends with a romantic partner on the 14th. That's when a tense Full Moon will create a stir in your social circle. Lately, the people you've known for years have been upset by your absence at various parties and gatherings. They think a love affair has been commanding all your attention, and perhaps they are right.

The Full Moon on the 14th will fill you with a sense of urgency. Try as you might, you won't be able to force people down a path they do not want to travel. Instead of putting more pressure on them, make a strategic retreat. After coming together and discussing your hopes, dreams and fears, a temporary separation may be in order.

Surprising news will arrive in midSeptember. The Full Moon on the 14th will shed light on a deception. Your outlook will change considerably after you learn the truth. Putting some distance between you and a manipulative relative will be necessary.

You're tired of being tricked into making loans, writing references and going to bat for someone who doesn't deserve it.

GEMINI

LIBRA

AQUARIUS

May 22nd - June 21st

September 24th - Oct 23rd

January 21st - Feb 19th

Your relatives will be jealous of your career success in mid-September. The Full Moon on the 14th finds you being celebrated by your work peers.

Although you're thrilled to be recognised in such a public manner, your family is less excited. They're resentful of how much time you spend on your job. Unless you shift focus, you'll drive a permanent wedge between you and your kin.

If you keep pushing yourself too hard, you'll suffer health problems in midSeptember. The Full Moon on the 14th invites you to take an extended break.

Going on vacation will make you nervous at first. You'll worry about job security after sleeping late and enjoying room service. Instead of giving in to your greatest fears, envision the outcome you want.

The Full Moon on the 14th puts stress on your bank account. Fees may be deducted from your paycheque, leaving you with very little to show for your hard work. No matter how much you complain, you will not be able to recover the money. Treat this setback as a learning opportunity. Before signing a contract, show the document to a legal professional.

CANCER

SCORPIO

PISCES

June 22nd - July 23rd

October 24th - Nov 22nd

Feb 20th - March 20th

A legal matter will be decided on or around the 14th, due to a tense Full Moon. You'll be disappointed by the results. Instead of dwelling on this setback, make an exciting plan for the future. Doing something adventurous and exciting will give you something special to look forward to. People who have been trying to create problems for you will be crushed by your upbeat outlook.

Friends will conspire against you on the 14th, when the Full Moon invites you to enjoy private pleasures. It's time to set healthier boundaries between you and your loved ones. Coming to other people's rescue is becoming exhausting. You need to devote more energy to the activities you love.

Shopping at antique markets and communing with nature could be calling your name.

You're tired of being pushed around by a romantic or business partner. The Full Moon on the 14th demands you confront this bully. You've always been accommodating in relationships. There should be a limit to your generosity. The next time you are commanded to do something unpleasant, put your foot down. If this alliance falls apart at the seams, so be it.

Use Locally - Issue 77 September 2019 free-draining loam that does not become too dry in summer, nor waterlogged or compacted in winter.

Improve drainage in heavy soil by adding horticultural sand and some bulky organic matter, whereas light soil will retain moisture better if plenty of well-rotted organic matter is dug in.

Going Green With the ground still warm from the summer sun and moisture levels in the soil increasing, September is the perfect time to create a new lawn.

Continued on page 38

Using grass seed is far cheaper than using reasonable quality turf, plus you can choose a suitable grass mixture for the site and it is easy to shape the lawn without having to cut pieces of turf.

So how do you ensure a great green surface with your newly sown lawn? Examine the site žUVW DQG FDOFXODWH WKH WRWDO area to be seeded, then study the grass seed packs in your local garden centre. Many different types are available, but broadly speaking you will žQG \RXUVHOI FKRRVLQJ IURP various grades of utility lawn (which usually contains a fair amount of rye grass to provide WRXJKQHVV žQHU ODZQV WKDW look more elegant but need more care, and mixtures suitable for lawns in partial shade.

It will be about three weeks before the seedlings emerge and then about ten weeks before the lawn can be cut, so bear this in mind when choosing your time to start.

September is the perfect time to create a new lawn Clear the area you wish to sow by removing all weeds (including their roots), any old grass and any debris. Dig out or kill off any perennial weeds before you sow the lawn, either by hand or with a suitable weedkiller. One containing glyphosate will be carried down to the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots or rhizomes but will be deactivated on contact with the soil, meaning grass seed can be sown straight away.

Dig the area over completely and consider the texture.

Ideally you want a light,

Next, rake over the soil repeatedly to achieve a good level surface that is free from large stones, any plant remains and other debris. Gauging the level by eye is normally adequate, but if necessary use a system of pegs and a spirit level.

Incorporate some granular general fertilizer, raking it in or spreading it evenly over the prepared area.

To prevent pockets of VXEVLGHQFH IRUPLQJ žUP the area by treading it over HYHQO\ LQ ¿DW VROHG VKRHV or boots, keeping your feet level as they hit the soil, paying particular attention to the edges.

If you think the site is not level, drive in pegs along each side of the patch.

Mark each peg at the same distance from the top and tap them in to the same height, using the mark as your guide. Use a spirit level and (if necessary) string attached between the pegs to check the levels, then re-rake the soil using the markers on the pegs as a guide.

For lawn seed to germinate quickly you need warm,

moist conditions so avoid hot, dry weather and wait until just before rain is forecast.

Using the directions on the pack, weigh out the quantity of grass seed needed for one square metre. Use four XSWXUQHG ¿RZHUSRWV WR PDUN the corners of a one metre square plot and distribute the seed evenly over the plot, thus showing you how the lawn seed should look when sown correctly. Obviously there is no need to mark out each square metre, but with this as a guide you should do perfectly well.

Never sow too thinly as this encourages weeds to invade and makes a thin and motheaten looking lawn initially.

You should also avoid sowing too thickly as this will create poor-quality seedlings that are more inclined to die off because of the damp, muggy and overcrowded conditions.

If you have a large lawn it may be worth considering borrowing or hiring a machine to sow the seed, but for most gardens hand sowing is perfect. Sow the entire area with the lawn seed and then lightly rake a thin layer

of soil over the seed, so that much of it is at least partially incorporated into the soil.

Water the surface regularly ZLWK D ¾QH VSULQNOHU RU watering can so that the seed can germinate and the young grass seedlings start to grow. If birds are likely to be a problem, use a system of twigs or canes with taut cotton tied between them to keep the birds off the area. Alternatively, use garden netting but make sure whatever you use is taut, or birds may get tangled up in it.

Top 5 Care Essentials for a Happy and Healthy Dog Seeing your dog grow and thrive is one of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great rewards, but which are the most important areas when it comes to canine health? Here are žYH RI WKH HVVHQWLDOV 1. Vaccinations Vaccinating your dog against life-threatening diseases such as distemper, parvo virus and leptospirosis prevents or reduces their potentially devastating effects. Your vet will let you know which vaccinations are required and whether any boosters are needed in the future.

2. Diet Dietary needs change during a dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifetime, so

the calcium-rich foods you fed your puppy wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as suitable when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fully grown. By the time they reach old age fewer calories will be needed, and probably additional help to maintain bones and joints.

miles on a single charge, and is spacious and comfortable too.

BMW i3s BMW has taken time to UH¾QH LWV L DOO HOHFWULF FLW\ car, ditching its petrol range extender thanks to better UDQJH 7KH ¾UP KDV DOVR added this – the i3s – which gives the car a little added performance.

The 10 best electric cars on sale today The rise of the electric car can’t be underestimated. Each manufacturer is rushing their own plug-in car to market, and demand for these new models is increasing by the hour.

But which ones are best?

We’ve put together some of the ideal all-electric cars currently on sale.

Hyundai Kona Electric Hyundai has changed the game with its new Kona Electric. Capable of travelling up to 279 miles on a single charge, it’s got one of the most impressive ranges of any new electric car available. And as a result of being based on the regular Kona, it brings funky styling and plenty of in-car technology too.

in recent years as the diesel crisis hit shortly after it invested heavily in the fuel.

Fortunately, its bet on an allelectric SUV has paid off, with customers queuing up to buy one.

It’s easy to see why – the I-Pace is fast when you want it to be but a comfortable cruiser when you want to relax. It’s far from cheap at £64,495, but that’s good value compared with the Tesla Model X, its biggest rival, and with almost 300 miles of range recharging should be a rare occurrence.

It’s all put together in a compact package, which means that it’s just as well suited to urban driving as it is to longer distance motoring.

Nissan Leaf Nissan’s Leaf is often one of WKH ¾UVW FDUV WKDW VSULQJV WR mind when you think of electric vehicles. It was, after all, one RI WKH YHU\ ¾UVW DOO HOHFWULF FDUV to become popular, and has gone on to retain a lot of this popularity as the years have gone by.

These days the Leaf can still hold its own. It’ll crack 239

It comes with a tuned stability system and a slightly more dynamic look – but still encapsulates all the good qualities of the regular i3 too.

Kia e-Niro (YHU VLQFH MRXUQDOLVWV ¾UVW got behind the wheel of the e-Niro, they’ve praised the crossover for being good to drive and offering a battery capacity that can consign range anxiety to the past.

However, unfortunately the e-Niro has been a victim of its own success. Kia hasn’t been able to source batteries quickly enough to meet demand for the car, so wait times are now up to about twelve months.

Hyundai Ioniq Electric Do you want the good news or the bad news?

The good news is that the Ioniq Electric is a mighty appealing electric car. It’s practical, good to drive and surprisingly quick, too. The interior feels a little on the cheap side, but it’s far from disappointing.

The bad news, though, is that Hyundai is hit by the same battery shortage as Kia, so wait times can be up to a year. So if you want one, you’re going to have to wait.

Audi E-tron Audi may be one of the largest carmakers around, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually been relatively late when it comes to an all-electric model.

However, this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the E-Tron ° LV LWV žUVW PRGHO EULQJLQJ a premium look and feel as well as impressive electric technology.

Audi claims that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do 248 miles on a single charge, but also provide plenty of space and practicality while it does so.

Renault Zoe The Renault Zoe offers one of the cheapest entry points to EV ownership, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mistake that for meaning itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cheap and cheerful offering that should be avoided â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Zoe is a great little supermini.

Opt for the big battery

version and you get 186 miles of range, so most inner-city commuters will only have to charge it once or twice a week. Prices start at just over ÂŁ17,000 with the plug-in grant.

Tesla Model 3 Tesla could be classed as one of the founding fathers of the electric car. The Model S, its saloon car, has arguably been one of its most successful. But for many, it was just a touch too expensive and a little out of reach.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the new Model 3 chimes in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed to be a bit more affordable, but still capable of delivering plenty of range and high technology levels too.

Volkswagen e-Golf If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a safe bet when it comes to your electric vehicle purchase,

you really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong with the Volkswagen e-Golf.

It brings the build quality and dependability youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect from one of the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bestselling models, and simply adds an electric powertrain.

It can travel up to 144 miles before the batteries need topping up, and while thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far from the best in the segment, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly acceptable for the typical commuter. With plug-in car grant applied, prices hover around the ÂŁ30,000 mark.
