Trouble is, a lot of people live in houses without driveways or access to park directly outside on cramped terraced roads. So theres lots of instances that this will be an issue for the average household. It makes loads of sense if you earn a decent wage, have a driveway, and don’t do lots of long trips. Which is a lot of people in the new car market granted. But it’s certainly not the best option in every use case, hence the need for the hybrid options. Nissan are doing a great job with their E Power hybrids - all electric to the wheels with a petrol generator. 500 miles range to a tank of fuel. No plug in necessary. Ideal for many

Enjoy it, and thanks for watching!

Yeah fair point. Seems more common on a lot of the lower end electric cars coming out

Are you his neighbor? What is it exactly that caught your attention about this as an EV video? Did you enjoy the stabbing commentary about EV's and their lack of compatibility to an ICE car comparisons?

You just turn the heat dial old school fashion?

Hold down the toggle button on the screen and you can chose for it to be on the air con display by default.

@@stevetaviner4878 Thanks Steve. I'm aware of that move. It's getting the climate controls on the main screen that's the problem. From what I see, it takes a minimum of 2 button touches to get there.

Just seems odd to me. I always reverse in, and id rather have it where a normal fuel cap would be!

Appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching!

Enjoy it! Will be worth the wait.

2 spec Ev Nav has twin big screens and Sat nav now fyi

Thanks John, appreciate the feedback!

Thanks Keith. It’s the same across much of the market sadly. It’s a lovely thing to live with day to day!

My Kia dealership told me 4 to 6 months. I sold my id4 last month

It’s dealership dependent. There are 2 here near me. Literally just test drove an ev.

Ordered mine in August 22, hopefully get it April 23....joke really but what ya gonna do. Costing me £80 a month. Cancelled my order with VW for an ID4 as they kept increasing the price.

@@mydrone9606 when I ordered my id4 in oct 21 the price was 31000 and when it arrived in March 22 the price had increased but I didn’t have to pay any more. Then I sold it in oct 22 with 7000 miles for 34000. The only thing wrong with my id4 was simply the range, a full charge of 100% would only get me about 190 miles and I only filled it right up 3 times when I went to Disney France and France sucks.

Remote starter. Press lock button and hold the circle buttin

Nah - I'm going for a used 4. Has everything I want (& some like lka, which I won't use).

Both decent options!

Hahaha thats fair enough - I don't hate it to be fair I'm just very much a reverse parker! Overall I think its an excellent car and one worth considering. I have a review of its sister car the Hyundai Kona going up today. Thanks for watching!

@@ItsDanLatham I charged other day with mine and I prefer it at front as I am not a good reverser 😂 👍 ❤️

It's Reginald Molehusband (and nobody under the age of 50 will have a clue what you're on about).

@@MsPinkcat7 the EQ adjustment on these is pretty decent, you can go into the sound settings and tweak it to your liking. I tend to increase the bass and treble and leave the mids alone to increase the clarity a bit.

@@ItsDanLatham thank you, I’ll try that, I currently have both bass and mids cranked up high, so I’ll see if it makes a difference:)

@@MsPinkcat7 having mids cranked tends to make the sound really ‘muddy’ in my opinion! You could also try adjusting the sound position to be slightly further forward in the car

Thanks :)

I didn’t even notice 😂

I'll be looking for a used one.

Haha that 65 thing was mad!

The car has been abandoned there for months!

It’s just a marketing term used by car makers. I imagine its easier to call it a self charging hybrid than a “regenerated energy storing hybrid” or something. I get your point, but its just a simplification

“Self charging” is marketing terminology used in the industry to explain the fact that you don’t need to manually charge it. Common sense tells you that it doesn’t generate electricity out of thin air! The purpose of this video is to review the car, not explain the specifics of the drivetrains that the average consumer either already knows about, or care little about.

Not sure you really understand my commentary. I actually prefer driving an EV day to day. I just don’t think the infrastructure is right in the UK yet. And I would rather a self charging hybrid than a plug in one, just because its easier to live with. And I drive a petrol car myself because I like them and can’t yet commit to the cost and range of an EV.

@@ItsDanLatham Although I do not live in the UK I do watch a fair bit of KZfaq content and much of it seems to come from the UK. Other reviewers do not have a problem with that lacking charging infrastructure and do not make unnecessary quips or take unneeded jabs at EV's The possibility of watching video'd from Robert Llewellyn may shock you as to what an EV advocate actually should be instead of making ad lib commentary that basically insults any EV owner. I am not a fan of your jabs of innuendo concerning EV's vs ICE car favoritism. Drive an Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle if you like and leave the EV diagnostics to EV owners that give good honest reviews about something they are passionate about.

@@spuddy4063 We’ll have to agree to disagree. The other comments seem to be understanding of my stances. Not everyone will like my review style but thanks for watching!

The EV infrastructure in the UK is shit. How can you even debate it when you don’t live here? It’s not just EV infrastructure that’s shit, it’s pretty much anything modern 😂 Transport links, public transport costs, cycling infrastructure, etc. It’s like the government and councils are trying to do everything possible to convince you to purchase and drive ICE vehicles day to day.

​@@ItsDanLathamThe comments are somewhat harsh. All I picked up on was your observation of the charging infrastructure, which is fair comment. I am considering moving on from ICE to full hybrid, or possibly EV. However, the range of the Niro EV (285mls) could be an issue if I was to make a return business trip of 350 miles in one day. After an already very long day, I would not want to faff around booking/waiting for a fast charging point in order to complete the return journey. Likewise, if using it to start a holiday, travelling 220 miles to the south (parking up for flights or ports), then returning a week or two later to have to find a fast charging point to return. Granted, the charging could be done on either the outward or return journey...but finding one is not guaranteed. Also not everyone has the ability to charge an EV or PHEV vehicle at home (terraced houses/flats/apartments), so having to wait at a public charging point once a week could be a bind. That's where the HEV plays it's part.
