What distance are your common journeys from home?

Fill yer boots fella, do update us to the last bit of charging space throughout the UK. I wont be losing any sleep over it and The majority of houses in the uk do have off road parking as per every single report out there states.

I rest my case m'lud 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Obviously your gut feeling is way better? Well, I'm not particularly bothered either way, I always have an open mind so if theres 100% accurate, warts and all report on the number of houses that do have off road parking available and could charge EV's please let us know. So far as your...

Absolutely All you need to do is look as you drive around and see how many times all the chargers are in use, it's very rare in my experience.

Yep, mine are genuine EVE cells with the certs for each cell. They did have the typical helicoil type insert in the 2 stud terminals. On the spec sheet that came with my cells it said 9.03NM which is what I used and they've been fine (280A/H cells), I think back in the photographs you can see a...

Well youre entitled to your experienced opinion, I should take heed of my dads advice, never argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level. Exactly what Dabop says above, I have never waited for my EV to charge, just had a coffee or toilet break to get me my next few hours of driving...

No argument with that at all. This is simply not the case, most EV's get to 80% in a maximum of 40 minutes and thats where you stop charge and journey continues. Not sure of the point youre making here I think you mean rapid chargers, fast chargers are the 7 kW units that people have at home...

Both, MG5 and BMW i3 That is true but you don't normally charge from empty to full every night. I only need to replace the amount of energy I use in a day. at 7.2 kW I can replace 216 miles during the 6 hours overnight, if I really wanted the full range I could start the charge earlier at...

Yes of course BUT the Q7 wouldnt have achieved the MPG figure in the specification sheet which is the argument here.

In reality it does around 235 miles on a full charge dependent on speed more than anything else. It's no different to ICE cars which are quoted MPG figures which they never achieve.

Not really, midnight to 06:00, 5p kWh every night which equates nicely to 1p per mile fuel cost. I'll take that thank you.

MG5 Estate, currently available at Perry in Leeds for £19k, 250 miles range, 7 year warranty etc. Even at full list price it's £32,500.

Not really Hmmm, not really safe, 400 miles and no stops. Aye it does, just killing everyone around :) Without exception, since 2016 when I changed to EV's I have never waited for my car to charge, not once and my driving was not all short journeys I travelled around presenting training...

It is widely known that there are a greater number of properties with parking than without, it's one of my pet hates how the media reports it eg 30% of people have no off street parking as opposed to 70% of properties do have access to off street parking. Anyway to help you scepticism heres a...

How dare you, where's your evidence to say it's not true 😂 😂 😂 😂 Here you go:- Source: RAC Foundation

I have towed with a Tesla Model X, absolutely fantastic tow car and the range was still acceptable, the only problem with this combination is charging, you have to unhitch and park the caravan, charge the car and then re hitch. In terms of torque, power, performance it's the best tow car I have...

It is, towing a trailer or caravan for instance. Absolutely and the majority of people will do less than 150 miles per day and do have off street parking. Reliable fast chargers is improving rapidly, a year ago at Hopwood Services there were probably 3 Rapids and 6 Tesla chargers, now theres...

I'm amazed you have the patience to stand there holding the dispensing nozzle, hanging around v'v the EV, plug in and walk away to do other things. Why does that matter, are you saying you climb into your car and drive for 700 miles non stop? For many reasons thats not a good idea, stopping in...

The battery swap concept is a real non starter IMHO. Complications of cooling connections, BMS, weights involved, it's almost akin to swap the engine because the car needs an oil change.
