I wonder if @edd9000 sees it as a challenge, making an electric car backfire…

I’m sure that introducing a short will give you a pretty solid bang.
I’m definitely seeing that as an experiment for Edd
See DIY extension cables…

Many people with PHEVs don’t actually bother plugging them in, so are basically lugging around a heavy battery.

There is a very good chance I will be getting a phev as my company car soon. A big enough EV with decent range is out of budget at the moment.
Will be getting used to plugging it in. The plugging it in at home will be a pain, but needs must.
Just get yourself a nice extension cable
Will have to park the Alfa on the street and then Connect it to the socket inside the just inside the garage door.
This will probably change in the future when Mrs B gets a new car. But that is a few years away, probably.
OLEV home charger grants can cover company car use, so get a proper connection.
Got a Schuko extension lead.
Magnificent car. Styling was simply ahead of its time IMHO.
Although fairly mingling nonetheless, obviously.
Any idea when it might arrive?

My boss, 25 years ago, had one. The one saving grace was the leather seats were unbelievably plush.
Agreed. I still think the Scorpio had the most comfortable seats of any car I’ve owned.
Rover 800 for me - better than Jaguar; better than Rolls/Bentley.
I had a 60-minute taxi ride in a new S-Class the other week. How come the very cheapest French car is so much more comfortable than the very most expensivist German car??
I owned an 827 Sterling for a year. Ridiculously comfortable and had reclining rear seats that went fully flat.
Nice.

Because the French car has to double up as a stationery arm chair at the side of the road

Reliability isn’t linked to comfort. Why can’t the Germans manage comfort? Too much for their mighty engineering?
While we’re in the Milk Float thread, my Lexus milk float ahd the most unconfortable, backache-inducing seats ever. n Horrid.
Have you ever compared rural French roads vs German? Necessity and all that…
