Leaves are beginning to yellow as autumn takes its hold over the country, and for the lucky ones out there who like to saddle up on two wheels, now is the time for getting out there and enjoying the fine weather while it lasts. It’s also the perfect time to leave those trailing queues for petrol behind; with your trusty EV you can spend time focusing on what really matters, be that taking a trip to see family or simply enjoying the thrills of the open road.
