EV general discussion

Many thanks guys, especially @bigmike20vt for the indepth explanation. My car, a 2021 Nissan Leaf Tekna and charger, Ohme Home Pro are on the list so I will move to intelligent Go after my charger is installed tomorrow.

Make sure you also get your solar export tariff changes to the 15p one at the same time if you have it.

 

[pastymuncher]

Unfortunately no solar but the housing association are looking at rolling it out where practical over the next decade so here's hoping.

that definitely sounds like you are begging to get kicked off the tariff imo. if you do that regularly are you not worried that octopus will see this a mile off?

No because I use an Ohme, not my car to control it, and I am not breaking the T&C's as it doesn't say you can't pause the charge anywhere in them (unless I have missed, in which case please show me).

Ohm about the destination, not the journey.

Oh my. Just seen the new Ford Capri EV...it's a flipping SUV almost identical to the Explorer inside the cabin. More coupe styled like the Capri was but still nothing like it at all.

Yeah saw this earlier and laughed at the new Polestar 2. (Clone)

Just another MEB box

It’s an ID5 clone. Wonder how many more cars the MEB platform will spawn

 

[pc-guy]

There is nothing wrong with the MEB platform. It’s one of the most efficient

Is it? In which of the vehicles?

Nah it's a Polestar 2, built on MEB

Ford are just 3 years late to the party is all…

It will look pretty dated a year or two into its lifecycle I reckon

Personally I don't really care that they called it a Capri or the Mach-E has the Mustang branding. You could say the same thing about the Puma also.

I'm just a little confused by the Ford line up to be honest. The Explorer, Mach-e and Capri are basically fighting for the same customers - why do they all exist given they are all effectively in the same segment and two of them are on a non-Ford platform?

They do need to get the Puma EV out ASAP though.

For me it makes more sense recycling familiar branding than what VW have done and ditched their iconic branding on their electric range. The ID.3 should have been styled and branded as a Golf IMO. I half expect they'll go back to it once the ICE Golf gets retired which would be even more confusing for customers.

Isn't the irony that the best MEB car may not be made by VW?

It would be ironic but not 100% sure that would be correct

ID7 tourer for me although Enyaq also a really well judged effort
