0:27.2	The idea that Europe can't survive without the US, or even the Britain can't survive without

1:29.7	You don't manage it manually.
1:31.5	Fuse does that for you with everything visible in the app.
1:34.3	Fuse will install it in one visit, then take care of the tariff and smart charging, so the car is ready when you are.
1:40.5	With the right setup, EV driving can cost under 3p per mile.
1:45.1	Getting the electric car was the big decision. A smart EV charger is the easy one. Visit
