September 9th, 2010
With the Nissan LEAF making its market debut this year, the Ford Focus EV due out in late 2011, and BMW working on a small electric car that could launch in 2012, it seems that the era of the electric vehicle (EV) is finally upon us.
But with so much hype and hoopla circulating, many of us could barely fill a thimble with what we actually know about EVs. With that in mind, we compiled this list. It’s by no means a comprehensive overview, just the top 5.1 most important things to know about the long-awaited and highly-touted electric car.

Performance Car Insurance & Misfuelling
September 7th, 2010
Misfuelling is one of those things that we all laugh at, unsure of how anyone can get mixed up at the petrol pumpand pump the wrong type of fuel into their cars. However, despite that, more than 400 people up and down the UK do it every single day. The problem is that driving off when it has happened to you is the worst possible thing you can do because it will ensure that the wrong fuel makes its way round your system and your performance car insurance will not cover you for it.
Now there are services provided by a well known roadside recovery specialist that will essentially save you all the time and cash you would normally spend getting your performance engine restored.

Home Insurance & New Policy Discounts
September 2nd, 2010
Beware the new policy discount on your home insurance! I recently had my home insurance policy renewal come through my door and was astounded to find that the contents alone had gone up by £15 a month. Now this may not seem like a lot but when you consider the total over the year, it really is. I called to find out why this amount had been added to my policy considering I had not made a claim and was told that it was because my new policy discount, which had been applied when I took out the policy as a new customer the previous year, no longer applied.
This may sound bogus and I believe that it is but it is how companies draw you in and get you to sign up.
