Here’s a quick checklist of features to consider. Work out which ones you really want or need. Ask the manufacturer to guarantee that your chosen features are definitely available in the model you have selected.

- Setting to charge automatically when grid electricity is at its greenest (less coal/gas, more wind/solar)
