At Real Living we also try to play our part in protecting the environment. Our retirement villages at Epsom, Remuera and Warkworth have a complimentary electric car for the residents to use. The Electric VW Golf, known as the e-golf, is the car that Epsom Village started using at the beginning of April. Seven residents drive it regularly on top of other additional occasional users. They’re helping the planet not only by using cleaner transportation, but also by sharing it between themselves!
