We have bought an electric car!

Thanks Harm Less,
Yes, it is a really new experience.
Vehicle is a Hyundai Kona 64kw.
Range surprised me somewhat.

Great advice we received from a Tesla Model S owner was to sign up with Ecotricity, if they're available in your area. Their off-peak electricity tariffs are definitely worth taking advantage of. We charge our Leaf from midnight (using a timer) to minimise charging costs, and shift our demand away from national peak demands. (That's if we don't get the chance to charge off our PV during the day). I'm not familiar with the Nero but many EVs have functionality in their software to schedule charging times.

I came home from the hospital in a fully electric car, I loved it. My only quibble about them is they are so quiet. Traveling on the footpaths on my scoot I have had several near misses with e vehicles pulling out of driveways, I just don't hear them coming. I am now very wary...

Certainly are quiet. 
A new regulation in Europe now means all new electric vehicles must emit an external noise under 12mph.
I would imagine these sorts of laws will follow here purely due to all manufacturers following them.
Currently, If they are reversing (eg: out of a driveway) the car emits a sound plus a warning to the driver if the car detects anything within a certain radius front and rear.
Drivers still need to be aware of surroundings.

I'm certainly conscious of the silent aspect in situations such as supermarket car parks. Reverse has a chime/alarm but slow speed forward certainly does catch out pedestrians. People wearing earbuds/headphones are obviously at risk but that applies to all traffic for them, not just EVs.
