@@daddymulk after reading your comment I got to thinking and the last time I actually had a car that experienced engine failure was a mk2 cavalier diesel in 1991 (cambelt snapped) as you say every other component is the same, just waaaaay more expensive on an EV.

@@Norfolkbiker50 we can say that many people do experience engine failure these days but that's because they have made them far more complex than needed and much of it for the climate nonsense, my dad has never had an engine failure in 50+ years of Fords or any serious issues

You should perhaps check out Autotrader stats.

If you buy a taycan sure, but some EV’s are holding onto their value pretty decently. Volkswagen ID3’s, Hyundai Ioniq 5 are just two examples of many. But if you buy super expensive cars like taycans be it petrol or electric, of course they’ll take a dive!

@@PenFriends There are 2023/24 ioniq5,s on the market for £25/35 thousand which is a huge loss on new.

@@PenFriends I have an MG5 that I bought at a good discount, depreciation is entirely in line with a similar petrol car. My insurance is also very modest and running costs are ludicrously cheap. It's charging from the sun right now. Why don't the anti-EV mob want to hear from us? No, has to be a bloody Porsche Taycan.

I would try and convert the car to run off an electric generator. Petrol or diesel.

I think you’re right. I think they’re pretty much copying the quotas imposed on all EU countries even though the UK 🇬🇧 only left the EU a few years ago ! I mean all the fuss over Brexit and in some respects the UK are still pretty much shadow dancing what the EU does.

Good point of course. I think one of the reasons it’s happening like it is here in the UK is because (and many miss this) is that the UK is the only, yes the only, country so far that’s legally signed up to the net zero fairy story. I think this is their little test bed before they consider rolling it out to other countries. So, if it fails here, which it undoubtedly will, then it will fail full stop. 😊

@@CiderGuy in fact in Norway all new car sales will be EV's from next year 2025. UK is lagging behind many countries in EV sales, this is so bad for our economy. At least windfarms are doing well here, I know quite a few people working on offshore windfarms. A few have transferred across from north sea oil industry. Shame Britishvolt went bust, both France and Germany now have a couple of giga factories. The UK is falling behind the rest of the world, shame really and partly it's due to the UK anti EV and anti climate change lobby, who are really dragging our industrial base back into the dark ages! We should be helping our British scientist, engineers and industry lead the way into a net zero world and boost our economy. Rather than all this false rubbish about climate change, net zero and EV's dragging our nation down.

Nor will I ever ride on high speed rails wither. I die alone not with hundreds of people

So they are cars then

Serious question, have you driven one? A fairly decent 200bhp plus one? I thought the same as you until I lived with one and apart from the £200 a month I'm saving in fuel (costs £25 a month) instead of £250 plus the technology in it and then there's the back roads. Not all EV's are soggy puddings. The weight will drop the power will rise and any petrolhead would be stupid not to own a 600bhp supercar performance EV for 50k.

You can't recharge without detaching it and parking it up. Charging leads are not long enough to reach when towing.

A magazine has declared an EV towcar of the year! On most chargers you have to diconnect the caravan to charge the tow vehicle.

They say that the plant in Oakville is still going ahead....until next month when the sign on the plant comes down! What a joke.

It’s that and it’s also knowing where to look - it’s pretty much admitted.

@@Jacob-yb6bv your right, they do like to tell us what they have planned for us, just like Bond villains.

Travelled back from Scotland on a bank holiday last year. We stopped for a comfort break and to grab a coffee and saw quite a few electric cars queuing to charge. We stopped for less than ten minutes on our seven hour journey. Would not have wanted to add at least another hour to the journey. Technology is definitely not fit for purpose yet.

Solid state batteries are half the density of regular cells and will reduce rate and increase range anywhere from 17-50% depending on manufacturer. Also they aren’t as prone to temperature change, meaning they can operate in colder and warmer climates.

My present.

@@mikebreen2890 I hope your insurance is up to date mike. Because that battery operated car of yours will catch fire. That's a certainty. Should have bought a diesel.

Madness

I daily a 3 litre 313 bhp BMW 335D from 2017, 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, all wheel drive, and anywhere from 30-55mpg, leaves most cars for dead off the line. I used to drive it just for fun, doing easily 2,000 miles a month, last month my fuel bill was insane, £599. In the last week near enough, I drove to and from work for 6 days, it's a 12 mile round trip each day, plus I drove another 11 miles on my days off work a few days ago. I used 1/8th of a tank of fuel in a 3 litre car. That's about £12-£13 in fuel for an entire week... not bad at all! Goes like sh*t off a shovel, I've kept up with an Audi RS3, a Mercedes C63 AMG (which is a V12) and some dimwit tried to race me in his Tesla with his boyfriend in the passenger seat (looked like two men having a mid life crisis). The Tesla pulled away initially but within 2-3 seconds I was clawing the gap back, within 8 seconds I was level and passing the Tesla at a rate of knots. I recently kept looking at a Polestar 2 EV, but the though of the faffing about getting an electric charger installed, and a long cable run through the bedroom to the consumer unit in the house was a right put off, not only that but the cost of it also and then the cost of invariably sooner or later having to use the public charging network which is no cheaper than fuel (and often more expensive). Plus the "quoted range" figures are always miles out... they quote 420 miles for instance but you actually get 360... that's 60 miles less than quoted. Going to or from work that's almost a whole working week's driving for me just in the difference between those two figures. Glad I decided not to swap and just decided to drive my car less. Plenty of power when needed, reliable as anything, easy and very convenient to refuel and just as efficient as an EV, if not more efficient.

My oil burner also can do that, but I now have to pay to drive into the city. It’s crazy as they are locking us out and we pay all the tax’s for the roads. EV’s will not last past 15yrs wouldout a new battery, it’s simple aging of the chemistry that no one can stop, even if the put their EV in bubble wrap and never drove it.

You must understand that it’s unlikely he did his research before buying. Or he bought it knowing he’d have issues just to get a few more views. I know plenty of owners that are more than happy and yes of course a few that have gone to plug in hybrids. But nearly everyone I know agrees electric is the future, maybe no right now for some, but in general the with the understanding that technology improves, the range will exceed that of diesel in 10 years

You don't - unless you plan to do that of course. Lee exaggerates for effect and income as he misinforms his fawning fans. Anyone with their own critical thinking skills can see through this quite easily.

@@Hitstirrer Thanks for giving me a great laugh 😂😂. And 250 miles range?....woeful.

Draw a 250 mile radius circle around there and I have enough range every morning to get anywhere in the country. Quite why you think that I need 600 miles range beats me. My bladder demands a stop inside 250 miles and while there the car fills up again and is ready to drive another 200 miles before I get back to the car. BYW laughing at non events is a first sign of instability. Take care to be more sensible.

@@Hitstirrer Never said you need 600 mile range. I and plenty of others do need it. It takes you an hour to empty your bladder? See a doctor.
