Thinking of moving to EV

yes I do I’ve read up on them

Neither do you ,siop crying

here’s a list of EV cars with longest range in miles mostly between 500km and 800km in the US market

Having that poster about EV cars in America does prove my point, you just want stop moaning

Which car does 30km to a charge? Love waking up to these late night posts!

Anyway, back to reality…..real examples from my driveway at this current moment with the apps screenshot.

Neither car would be classed as among the most expensive, the Cupra is in the best selling class of car in the country at the moment and can be bought at just over 40k, the R5 was just over 30k.

Can't get a near 300bhp 6 second to 100kmph ICE car with the level of spec or comfort or space for anywhere near that price. Likewise the R5 is cheaper than an equivalently specced 150bhp supermini by a long long way, you'd be looking at base level 1 litre cars for the price.

Looks like Cupra will be good for 500kms and R5 for 300 if I needed them to be.

If I was fully charged and had a very long journey ahead of me and invested 30 mins of my time to charge them to 80% on a decent public charger when they get low I'd get 800kms or more from the Cupra and maybe 500kms from R5.

Jaysus, how did I forget to include the dual-mass flywheel in my list of expensive things that go wrong in ICE cars. Had that bother with two different cars, a VW group and a BMW. I think the first time it happened was about 12 years ago and it cost me over £300 (sterling) then, with a buddy doing the work for mates' rates. Second time was more expensive as it somehow scuppered the gearbox as well. That was a lot more expensive, even after going to a breaker's yard for the replacement gearbox. Had no choice at the time but to bite the bullet on it.

But yeah, tell me again how EV batteries are all going to have to be replaced for loadsamoney … 🙄

Bingo time for the luddites!

My car can do 800km, EVs are no good until they can also do 800km. I never do 800km, but it is important that my car can do 800km!

Do you hear yourself?

What has any of this got to do with the OP? He does 28 kms on his commute and they have a Chr as a second car. Ev is ideal for him, no need for 800km without stopping etc.

Drove a model Y once amd was underwhelmed, apart from the tech and charging experience which was fantastic, never drove a 3.

Ive driven mg4 a few times, if you are shopping in the used 20 to 30k market I didnt think the mg4 was anywhere close to a good drive as the Cupra Born which I owned at the same time, so that may be one to consider for you. And by extension an id3 also which won't be a million miles away.

There is no petrol Born, maybe its something else you drove? A Cupra Leon maybe?

Surprised you found id3 tight, its a big car inside.

I can't remember which mg4 i drove, it was the top spec one though I know that for sure.
