I’m going to put a bigger billet wheeled hybrid turbo on the Evo soon😂🤣😂🤣

In addition to the cost of charging you need to add £10 for 2 or 3 cups of coffee from Starbucks, while you wait bored shitless for the glorified PP9 to fully charge.

This is assuming you can find a charger that works and there is not a long queue.

My dear Opti, may I refer you to reply #5.

Mine still works well for us, by far the cheapest car to fuel we have

Ah....I see now. Your reply to a comment make by the fat controller.

If you can charge them at home, or better yet at the office for free, they are a financial no-brainer, particularly if leased through work.

If you have to rely on public rapid chargers, they're seriously inconvenient and expensive.

IIRC, you got a 22KW charger at home as part of the deal?  It probably wouldn't work if you only had a 13A charger (well, given the number of cars the DTM household has, it probably wouldn't matter ), or if you were reliant on public chargers, which some people are.

You still managing the to "borrow" electricity from work?


I will say, after that quick blast in your I-Pace, I did have a quick gander .  But just too expensive for us.

Which is the other of the two significant issues.

Until EVs are available for the same price as an equivalent sized IC car, with comparable range, they simply aren't worth bothering with as the maths just doesn't work. Even if you compare the EV version of summat with the IC version of the same car, the price differential means you can effectively fuel it for free over three years, something that an EV can only do if you have access to free charging at work. And how long until that is taxed as a BIK like a fuel card?

A £1,000 1.4 anything will do 40mpg all day long and even a small car will see 350 miles without trying. And fixing the entire car will cost less than a new battery.

[Raeturbo]

Yes and once they get a load of them bought and on our roads they will definitely find some half arsed excuse to double some or other stealth tax and your fkd of course when you’ve committed to buying one of them

Giles Coren wasn't as impressed with his ..... as per Jeremy Whine show the other day

People are starting to think EV's may have been over hyped:

I notice that the model X is too posh to have gull wing doors and has falcon wing doors instead

Hes an arsehole, he wouldn't have had it stolen as often if he actually locked it......

Its a 7kW (as that is the max you can get at home), but works well enough.

And yes, the comopany electricity 'loan' scheme is still active
