EV general discussion

For a low-mileage driver who can charge at home, the small EV options seem much easier to justify now. The Renault 5 looks especially tempting.

Probably not. I think someone here was planning a 1k mile trip and yeah after some man maths it wasn't worth it

Raymond looked at it for his big road trip, renting anything with a decent range for a decent amount of time was £lol

Ah yes, he was exactly the guy I was thinking of...just couldn't remember his name lol

So... 400 miles this weekend...
Started out at 95% and a couple of supercharging stops was £14.
This trip cost about £20 in leccy in total.
Same journey would've cost £95 in my old 440i

But surely the noise of such a beast would have been worth the extra £75?

Yeah, sounds like the only reason to hire one would be just to experience an EV for the first time at its most inconvenient. Not worth doing for this particular trip, but perhaps next time.

heart says yes
brain, wallet and ethnicity says hell no

at its most inconvenient.

if this is its most inconvenient, life must be a breeze...
