    Yeah, the pub talk about me mates Passat TDI with 600k Kms on it and he only changed the oil twice in 10 years - really helpful.

    I dont think you have been paying attention either

    They will be throw away, no doubt

    Will you be keeping your Ioniq for 10 years, no you won't.

    Why would you want that crap when a battery breakthrough comes, because with the money going around there will be one

    No one wants a 150km at best car, totally impracticale and useless to the general public

    You don't know whats around the corner tech wise, so dont be so confident the EV's of today will be desirable in 10 years ( they are not even desirable today lol, besides the Teslas)

    I've a 150km EV , it now has 80,000km after 20 months . So obviously it's " totally impractical " and " useless "

    Rest are just stopgaps like Ioniq, i3, Golf, Leaf until better tech comes along
    Everything is just stop gap - technology keeps progressing. We live in the present and work with whats available.

    Whats wrong with a town only car? You've confirmed that theres a use case. Otherwise at year 10 - whats the book value of any economy car..?
    Theres a whole host of people out there that dont realise just yet they've the right driving profile for a gen 1 Leaf - let alone anything more recent.

    We all want a Tesla but many people have to work with whats affordable to them. If what you say is true why is it that only 7% of listings right now of available Leafs on autotrader UK are available for the first 3 model years? They're pretty scarce....so someone sees a value proposition in them for their driving circumstances (to the extent that theres not much value to be had at that end of the market).

    We need to stop engaging with Thierry14s nonsense. Haters hate etc.

    I've no issue with rational arguments , but just posting anti EV invective sounds like a desire to start an argument rather then debate
