A good or bad thing?

@@Uchejnrbad

That’s because it doesn’t suit the narrative because Tesla works and their charging network is fantastic that would annoy other car manufacturers and the charging system with other manufacturers is awful.ive done 13000 miles in 8 months travelling around the country charging mainly at home but when I use superchargers network I stop go to the toilet grab some food 100 miles added 12-15 mins

He didn’t spend 4 months in a Tesla 🙄

Using the Tesla supercharging network would have saved him some money. In mainland Europe Tesla's prices are about half or even less compared to FastNed/Ionity (don't know UK prices)

say what you want about Mercedes-Benz design but they make better electric cars than BMW...heck do not take my word for it, even Sam has said it.

@@boyserfulwell, one company is selling cars and the other isnt

@@cediB01 which has nothing to do with what I said

​@@boyserfulThe i7 is pretty good but I'd prefer the ICE 7 Series really !

I have a neighbor with an EQS 580 and an Audi e-Tron and a tenant with an i7 and they are all great. If I had to pick one though it's the i7 hands down.

And how many biscuits 😁😁😁

100% mandatory for the Chinese market, which is #1 in the world.

@@rsplines12😐….. I can’t imagine why I would ever need to take a selfie 🤳in a car

​@@redshovel Because the government needs to know what you do

I don't know if it's possible but I would like it if you could actually take meetings using that camera. Now THAT would be a gamechanger (for me at least)

Yep even the Toyota aygo could do that comfortably without worrying about fuel

EVs are appalling. Full stop.

@@resnonverba137 they are a con by the government

That number would be much lower in cold weather. Pointless car.

I disagree tbh. It’s an electric car biased towards performance. If it was an ice car with that sort of performance you wouldn’t be thinking about what mpg it does would you? The price has no correlation to range.

Agreed. Not all of us want to drive round in a futuristic spaceship........some are still old school......along with actually being old!

​@@Blade1310 yea but the BMWs also look like spaceships. Especially that i7 with the 8k screen in the rear. For some reason all Car companies think that an electric Car has to be ugly. The only one with incredible styling is the rs e tron in my opinion.

I have a home charge putting out 11kw. Basically I have the full 80% every night.

How much would that cost for your electricity at home do you know?

@@NewHandle_ I’m in Ontario, Canada. We pay about 15 cents CAD per KWH. Electricity is very cheap here.

5-6 hours to charge to 80% from 20-30 at home in the middle of the night costing £ 5-7 so 6-7.5 hours too 100% ridiculously nobody is driving 300 miles a day like the internet haters like to spew

I think your taking his numbers too literally, he meant simply that as he didn’t have enough charge after overnight charging that it he had to go to public chargers anyway so he might as well do that. BUT I think that is a STG exception - normal people wouldn’t do this however it is good to see he has no issues with public charging in his area while he had the car.

Last great car that Albert Biermann created before retiring.

You mean the car that Hyundai will scrap if the undercarriage is scratched?

Its isn`t gong to buy a Hyundai.

It does Sam is one of those creators I follow every video. And btg

His charging at home must be very basic my 7.5 kw charger will charge my Tesla LR in 5-6 hours overnight from 30%-80% easily

If it is a private buy, the level of depreciation is also an issue. On the flip side, company lease allows significant tax concessions (in some markets), combining this with surrendering the vehicle @ the end of lease contract, depreciation stops being an issue.

Home charging is key but road trips and long mile days are no longer an issue. I speak from driving Tesla’s and never have issues with either range or long journey driving. No bias but there is still a difference between experiencing a tesla and a non-tesla ev because of charging reliability and efficiency. I hope this experience with the bmw convinces SAM to test other ev’s now because there a definitely better options out there for different use cases

@@stanmarks3950 private buy could be a positive now that it’s a buyers market if one isn’t fussed about going down the used route

@@Uchejnr The only problem you would have is if you go on vacation in Europe anytime during school holidays. I have done it twice in a Tesla model x (2018 model) and several times I had to wait in queue for 30+ minutes to charge which is annoying.

@@flowmeful good thing new location are always being built.

yes! really nice 🔥

You mean around 70-90k ?

Used

The Taycan isn't doing 340 miles either you are dreaming.

@@TDS981 incorrect - the new updated version will, it's a big jump on the first gen Taycan. And that's real-world range. The quoted figures are obviously higher than that.

You should listen to their podcast. They keep mentioning the i5 from time to time

@@andrewhurstcars 😂 good luck I think you are extremely optimistic.

@@kevins718 I do listen to the BTG podcast 👍🏻

Smart people over there. Caring for the health of their citizen as well!

@@zapfhahn6130 Indeed - an estimated 10.000 EU citizens die prematurely each year from diesel car emissions alone… add petrol and we’re looking at 15.000 premature deaths every year… a rather potent argument for EVs, if you ask me.

So you're happy that you were forced to buy an ev through taxes.

@@kylepastaNope, I was happy that I didn’t have to pay 150% registration fee on an ICE car… Massive registration fees on cars isn’t a new thing in Denmark, it’s been like that since the 60s. What IS new, is the reduced registration fee on EVs. Over here, a Golf GTI is roughly £74,000 wheras a Tesla Model 3 Performance is roughly £50,000. Again, you’d have to be a fool not to concider an EV in Denmark.

​@eskemeldgaardkrogh4145 you just proved my point, thanks. If you weren't taxed to death maybe you would write something unbiased about ev vs ice, but you have proved otherwise.

Used Rolls seems to drop a lot anyways, as that market of buyers can just purchase new.

@@ano9756 Yeah that's true tbh

My neighbours feel exactly the same. They’ve got an X3 and i3. But it’s ridiculous that the electric car is really good, because you’ve also got a petrol car.

@@Shyted Tech and infrastructure just need maturing. It’ll get there. You can’t expect to compete with a century of development on ICE in a few years. In the meantime, I use it where it works (and it works there very well).

🤣🤣🤣

You usually need high speed chargers on long trips. So most of the population does not need it because the drive 30 Miles a day. And electricity is these days everywhere and with a Juicebooster in the back(or some other brand) you are safe everywhere. With the right home charger that provides 22 KW a car will be ready in a couple of hours so plenty for the average Joe.

When you have a propper 11kW homecharger or posibillity to charge you car overnight on the street with 11kW charger like in the Netherlands, charging is the positive side of driving an EV! Never have to wait at an petrol-pump anymore. On long distances the charging-network of Tesla, FastNed, Ionity and many others make it effortles aswell. Drove my Tesla model Y to Italy and back (1.100km / 700 miles) this summer towing an mid-size caravan without having to wait once. Just connect the car to an supercharger an time for coffee. Istead of first have to fuel, then pay for the fuel, then park en then have time for you break and coffee. With the caravan I planned my stops in advance so I had to disconned the caravan less often at charging-stop (had to disconnect in 1 of every 3 stops). On my 200kmp/120mph hispeed run to wintersport in Austria this winter the car did all the planning itself! With a free autobahn at high-speed it planned a ealier stop and on the busy parts with speed reduced to 100-120kph (50-60 miles) it planned a stop at al later supercharger. The return trip from Austria to my home adress 990km took me 10.45h including charging. At every chargingstop time for streatching the legs and coffee so I arrived totaly relax at home. Ofcourse with an petrol car doing the same speeds I could have done it an hour faster, but than with no or very short brakes with would have made the trip less relaxed.

@@Bart4827-ee5in but thats the thing with EVs, you gotta think about stuff... in a gas you pump gas and thats it.... evs you need to calculate everything otherwise ur fked...

@@PedroHenriquePS00000he chose his own stops because he’s familiar with his car. For newbies, just enter your destination then the Tesla literally plans your route including stops and for how long. No need for planning there boss.

That’s why I bought an i3!

@@vandit83 it’s why I invested in a MG4

Renault 5 is coming or even less expensive the Citroen ë-C3.
