    When are you going fully electric?

    Thats what i did back in 2020. The Ev 'installers' we giving me daft quotes, and that was talking the grant into account at the time. Everyone wants to be on the EV gravy train :p I was getting quoted ~1500. In the end I paid £500. Aside from the paperwork the actual install is not rocket...

    When are you going fully electric?

    Ive had company cars since 2006, and ive pretty much covered 90k in each of them, very very little has gone wrong with the 5 cars. That said, when i look back at the mot histories, 2 of them are no longer on the road :p Even when i was in older cars, i never really had any drastic problems to...

    When are you going fully electric?

    The upcoming Tavascan also looks like a tasty looking car. It’s essentially an ID4/5 and Enyaq without the dullness

    When are you going fully electric?

    It’s all about the clicks with these YT’ers. Bashing EV is the topic du jour so annything related to that is guaranteed to get you views. Alex and co are doing the old top gear schtick, They are entertaining at times to be fair. The big mechanic guy seems to be naturally funny.

    When are you going fully electric?

    You say that, but I know a few companies who have issued all their service teams with Tesla model 3’s, these lads won’t be higher rate tax payers. And it’s not huge companies either, maybe 3 or 4 mill TO.

    Electric vehicle depreciation

    As a side topic There’s a 2019 370z with 1470 miles for 31.5k. How on earth does anyone do so few miles! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326046049760?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=MGanCjgHQpi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=b-MUANBQRD-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    When are you going fully electric?

    I have a few friends in the garage repair business, and it’s only now that they have woken up to the EV repair game. Mind the basics are the same for EV and ICE in reality.

    When are you going fully electric?

    If i look at the network 3-4 years and look at it today, its hugely better. I can make one work, and i do 20k miles a year (famous last words) If it wasnt for cost, I even have a ultra fast charger 5 min walk away that i could use if i didnt have a drive way. EV needs to be seen as part of the...

    When are you going fully electric?

    I added the interior and exterior packs, which means things like DCC,HK Audio, Glass roof and heat/cool massage seats. Standard spec wasnt bad to be fair either. My only big dislike is the poor range of colours available, i guess they are saving the better colours for the GTX spec.

    When are you going fully electric?

    After a test drive yesterday, the ID7 has been ordered this morning, price had been steadily dropping on our company car scheme, so decided it had hit a point that was too good to turn down. All options ticked apart from Towbar and HP, and it was still 1/3 of the price of a Model Y on the...

    When are you going fully electric?

    Yes, as i understand it. If you want the 6 hours at 7.5p then the car or charger has to be compatible with octopus intelligent. My Pod point is not compatible, but my BMW 330e is, so i just plug in and octopus talks to the car via the BMW app and they arrange the charges between 11.30pm and...

    Ive seen the ID5 and ID7 prices drop hugely in the last few days, might be worth a look.

    When are you going fully electric?

    The satnavs have a lot answer for, only Tesla cracked it tbh. A friend got a Etron (q8) and the satnav took him to some rediculous charge points, so much so that he stopped taking the car on long runs. I told him to try ABRP and he’s a hell of a lot happier driving the Etron on most of his trips.

    Full EV Woes!

    Ev's work for some, and dont for some. Im happy to jump into an EV now, but certainly wouldnt have touched one 3 years ago, it wasnt a secret that the range was poor. Only Tesla and maybe MG were viable option for relatively trouble free motoring. If you can charge at home its a straighforward...
