my left foot
My first proper drive in the electric car yesterday - ie on the roads with other traffic and not just on the nissan test track. Its very easy to drive once you get the hang of the feel of it - sort of suped up dodgem really - although dodgems didnt have reverse gear, or brakes did they?
Great acceleration and then there's the eco tree game - if you drive carefully and regeneratively you are awarded eco trees while you drive - i got one and a half trees today. In the international league i'm pretty well at the bottom - there is a man in japan with so many trees - he must do nothing all day but drive efficiently!
Seems that my left foot is not needed as there is no clutch and the left hand is pretty redundant once you are in gear. Pauline
