Electric cars

[jrb]

What’s the Ev2 like in comparison to Ev3, size wise, JRB? We’ll be looking for electric new car later this year and I do like the EV3 reviews

The cabin is definitely smaller, but it’s still big enough for a family. I would say 4. 5 might be a bit of a push? The EV2 can seat 5. The EV3 offers more cabin space and leg room. I would definitely test drive both cars. The bigger battery EV2 comes out later this year and it qualifies for the Government grant, so you get a bigger battery, and more battery miles for pretty much the same price as the smaller battery EV2 which is available to test drive now.

Youtube the EV2 & EV3 reviews and tests drives. There’s loads of videos for both.

I’m having one as a company car. I4 M60. Looking forward to driving it when it arrives, although I’ve never driven an electric before so should be interesting for a while :)

That will be an absolute monster.

EVs are generally like driving any other automatic but without the engine noise to give an indication of speed. - And they shift!!
The only thing to set is the regeneration level. Lowest is like a standard auto or hybrid with negligible regen, and max is basically one-foot driving which I find ridiculous.

I've not watched this video yet but I do like the Ioniq 3, shame the price is looking a bit high for our tastes although it's similar to the EV2.

I have the standard version of the i4 (not the M60) and that's fairly rapid (floored it once on an empty motorway as a test and nearly snapped my neck). I believe the M60 version goes like the proverbial off a shovel.

Currently drive the macan, and I love it.

My move to EV has been nothing short of amazing, I love the drive. The smoothness and the lack of noise. And most of all I love the savings I have made.

Make sure you have a good charger fitted at home.

9 days until the GTI is launched.

Ticking clock on the VW website below.

It’s probably out of my preferred price range, even though I could afford it, but I want to stay around the £20K-£25K price range for a new EV car.

After a month or so of driving my EV, am pleased to report the dynamic range is now reporting at around 311 miles on 90% charge, as opposed to the 273 miles at 100% when it first arrived.

Self corrected based on real world conditions apparently. Although next week will be the first real test for it, as I have to cover around 300 miles in a day, so probably will also be my first charging on the go experience also.

Changes all the time. Wait until you go through the winter months. Expect at least 25-30% less

The weather makes a huge difference we usually charge every 7 days tomorrow will be day 10 doing the same journeys it’s just lasting longer, bloody would be when it only costs about £2 a week to charge as well.

So I believe. Looking forward to it coming Although I’m on a wait list for 3 months

Winter hits hybrids too. I get around 55 mpg in winter from my self-charging hybrid and 63-65 mpg in summer.

The 20k EV is vital - like the ford model T was in its day. It should also see us get to a point where it's not just utter cunts that own EVs.

A Youtube ID. Polo video filmed in Ireland had the base model ID. Polo at under €20,000, if true?



Having seen the ID. Polo base model, sadly, I’m underwhelmed by it’s basic and bland looking interior. I can live with the external differences.

Fast forward to 20:30. Yellow base model.



So many good choices atm.

Jaecoo and BYD cars are all over the place. The Jaecoo is fucking huge, a Temu Range Rover.
