Battery vehicles are ok for those who can afford the depreciation, charge at home and live with the poor charging infrastructure.

@Brian-om2hh 2 часа назад

The depreciation is much less of an issue if you *lease* rather than buy..... Most people who choose this car will do so because it's a motorway cruiser, not a city commuter. And as many motorway service stations now have plenty of chargers ( Hilton Park on the M6 has around 40) it won't be much of an issue....

@dreamcrusher112 2 часа назад

@@Brian-om2hh but at the chargers you're paying 50-70p/kwh and you might as well get a diesel and pay half the price.

@DeanoEV135 Час назад

@dreamcrusher112 but a diesel has less refinement, more NVH, stinks, sounds clattery, is probably slower and nowhere near as smooth or effortless to drive, and has tailpipe emissions that aren't ideal in populated areas?

@SDK2006b 31 минуту назад

⁠@@dreamcrusher112- not really. If you read the DailyMail or watch some RU-vidrs, you would believe public charging is expensive. However very few people are public charging at the displayed rates. All car makers offer discounts on these prices. Porsche, Audi, Polestar Mercedes,BMW and some others all get cheap Ionity rates - usually about 35p kWh, on an advertised 80p kwh rate. Tesla chargers are 30-40p, depending on the time of day

Ive had an EV6 for 2 years as a company car. I has been pretty much flawless, before I had this I was really an EV hater, but this car has completly changed my mind. I have only TWO things I can complain about after 2 years, these are: 1. There is no way to get your spedometer in the middle of the screen, it always to one side, slightly annoying but you'll get over it. 2. The piano black on the doorcards, WHY? Stop it..

I remember people didn’t hate electric cars as much before governments were imposing the idea of replacing all internal combustion engine vehicles in the near future for EVs. Of course they are not all that eco friendly as some think, but for mostly city use EVs make so much sense, if you make short commutes and charge at home that is.

@Brian-om2hh 2 часа назад

Nobody is imposing the idea of replacing *all* ICE vehicles. You can continue using any ICE vehicle you have after the ban on the sale of new ICE arrives. The transition to full EV is anticipated to take around 20 years. It won't be like switching a light off, like you appear to feel.
