Thanks 👍

Thanks, yeah doing well thanks!

Cheers Mike!

I didnt know that..I never knew I needed one, but now I do ha ha

Which Zoe is it on ? We have not looked but would be cool for the kids.

@@nickieredshaw7835 Any of them. It is a free app from the r-link store.

@@paulprosser1289 is there a easy link store ? As got a ze50 that doesn’t have r link ? Thanks

Thanks 👍

Me too!

Cheers Martin, yeah I didnt think it was to bad, mind you thats around about the price for our others we have

@@IanSampsonRLO it's unfortunately one of the reasons I haven't gone EV. The insurance cost plus monthly battery(Zoe) was more than what I'd save on petrol.

@@MartinRisbyVR Hi Martin, you shouldn't count the battery rental as the same as fuel costs. If you look closely at it, the battery rental brings the cost up to the amount you would have to pay if you bough it outright. EG. My Zoe payments (previous car) per month were £224 + £90 (car +battery) = £314. MG (which is slightly cheaper) is £306. So in both cases fuel is above the cost of the vehicle. You then take into account that the average ICE fuel is 10p/mile when average EV is 1.5 to 2p/mile.

@@MartinRisbyVR yep, same story in my case. Only for me it was also an issue with APR that Nissan offered for a Leaf. The difference in APR and insurance completely destroyed £70 savings in fuel.

@@manwithcorsae7738 yer and if you do average miles or above you will save a good bit on total price ie ice equivalent car and fuel . We have saved about a 1000£ in fuel over 8400 miles and about 700-800 £ cheaper overall and it’s a lot better to drive than ice car and it’s so much more fun and greener quite quickly so it’s a win win

Thanks!

Ha ha brilliant 🤣🤪

Lol

Thanks! Yeah I have that service plan as well. When did you get yours?

Peeps need to realise its not designed for this at all, just like the lane assist isnt for country roads - but will kind of work on them. Instead of just doing 1 video doing a review on it...or just filming the same journey over and over (to work and back - ~12 miles a day) this was a way of legitimately opening up content.

Low..about 2.8 because I am hooning it 1 having a blast!

@@IanSampsonRLO lol I drive a lot like that since got ev as it’s a lot of cheap fun ! Worst I’ve had around town over 15 miles was 1.8 !!

They do pop out when you approach 😮🤩

We think so too! Cheers!

Correct.

Thanks!

Its a 5 door 😀

@@IanSampsonRLO I know but I didn't see a handle

Its £4.50 connection fee (even when a member!) If it wasn’t for that I would use it more often. Mind you the free 7kw one there might be handy especially if going for a meal. PS Toby carvery was flooded the other day

He will ride in the stinky / hairy Zoe ha ha

​@@IanSampsonRLO A thought... the Honda E is a gen 1 version.. gen 2 may have more battery options, more range mote power etc, i think gen 1 ev`s are public test cars for finding the limits of battery, motor the general car can do, then all that info is put into gen 2 cars.. :)

£25,250. Congrats on yours!

@@IanSampsonRLO Ouch! A good deal for sure. We paid £27,350. We added the 5 year service plan, and we extended the warranty and Hondacare assistance to 5 years too.

@@sib4897 to stick the boot in a little more, mine also came with a 5 year service plan (but I dint add a further 5 years). Also to help remove the boot lol it was up for £27000 - as in first video, I pushed them for a better price (pro tip: use another listing on auto trader that closely matches the exact car you are buying but is cheaper - because you can demonstrate you can walk away AND get it cheaper, with this they matched the price (almost - it was £250 more...but it was closest to me and saved my travel costs up north). Your deal wasn’t miles out, £1k maybe at most. Your mileage was lower also dont forget. PS I wanted a higher milage as this really is a car I bought for this channel! And want to see how the Honda E performs over 50,000 miles (not how I perform, but how it performs - can it cover 50,000 trouble free, I have a little head start as got it on 2680 miles)

@@IanSampsonRLO Mine's metallic!! LOL

Not had that no, they pretty much emulate real mirrors.

That has dawned on me...a little concerning!

Kind of true, but like I did on the way back, you can sit on the motorway / dual carriage way for an hour no probs, so it was pretty useful in that scenario. (it also works a treat on rural roads..most of the time!)

I realize it's quite off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online?

@Jesse Liam I use Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

@Carmelo Zion Definitely, I've been using FlixZone for years myself :D

@Carmelo Zion thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!!

Yes ze50 got lane keep and follow assist but no adaptive cruise control it’s a shame as I miss it but it’s so easy to drive so I’m ok.

Very true, it has not been an issue whilst travelling since, but I would look at having a booster ready for ultimate comfort. She uses a cushion even in my Zoe, and thats massively higher!

Keep following along and lots more real life big trips to test this out!

Good to see they are proactively sorting it out! 🤣🙄

Yup that works also :)

Omg you replied :)

Very cool! Congrats! If there is a Honda dealer down there then at some point I will be there!

Zoe is the best value EV on the market; if bang for buck (and limited buck) is what you need to warrant the purchase for sure. This thing is far more advanced and fun though. Depends on the check list your using to get into an EV I guess!

@@IanSampsonRLO yes indeed and you have been there, seen it and done it in the Zoe. 👍

@@IanSampsonRLO yer Zoe is great I think and does all we want . Get Honda e to do 200 miles range it would sell like hot cakes. Love look and colour and lots of screens and cameras is great as love our tech , but has it taken too much of the money and not enough spent on under the hood lol as you would say ? If you say the Honda e is about the same size as Zoe you think, why the so small boot ? Any space for a front trunk and how’s the sound system?

Its a city car and how many average people drive 200 miles in a day in the city unless you're an Uber driver or deliver pizzas for Dominos. The Honda e can do 150 miles in between charges and that plenty in an urban city.

@@mamadouaziza2536 that is fair comment about it being a city car. However my understanding is it has around 28.5kwh usable battery capacity so I think you should only expect around 100 miles range. But more in summer, less in winter.

Tiny little things!

A lot of 7kw (and 22kw) posts are free. Tesco + Pod-Point for example are usually free. Mine came with the type 2 cable - and think they might when new also.

Can't use Tesla chargers non Tesla cars, adapters for non Tesla cars to use at Tesla Superchargers are unreliable.

Tesla Destination Chargers works on all Type 2 Mennekes plug if it is configured to Legacy Mode. Carry a screwdriver with you to change the dip switch configuration 👀

@@Nobody_Famous cool thx

Congrats, how are you getting on with it now?

@@IanSampsonRLO loving it, the change over to full electric was nice. Electric point sorted quickly. Definitely a head turner everywhere we go

I think so as well, for its place in the market.

....and it parks itself ha ha :)

How fast does it park...

It has 2 rear view mirrors.

Yeah good value, might need to adjust it just depending on how long it takes to do 157 Honda dealers.

@@IanSampsonRLO The cost goes up when you tell them you actually want to drive the car. :)

@@SirHackaL0t. ha ha so true.

Range would be brilliant if they allowed the full use of the battery, but its dialled back, to around 27kwh I think instead of the full ~36kwh. The car itself is a masterpiece...

@@IanSampsonRLO 27kWh useable is identical to the 30kWh Leaf. One good thing though, the battery will probably degrade slower. One thing I'm worried about at 89% SOH is the battery. Plus the Honda E is a lighter car

Its a city car and its an economy sub compact, so a big battery is not needed. With regenerative braking and an Econo driving mode, one can easily get over 150 miles per charge..

@@mamadouaziza2536 Doubtful but it depends what it manages per mile. I'm getting about 4 miles per kWh on my Leaf 30 which also has 27 useable (90% health though) and looking at closer to 100 miles a charge. This may be smaller and more compact but in this weather, 150 is doubtful unless they have been very good with the efficency

@@iKaGe01 People are getting 6 miles per kW also and if one chooses a more energy-efficient driving mode, 150 miles is possible. I can literally get 83 miles out of a 60Ah battery (22kwh/18kwh usable) i3 that is 7 years old. Regenerative braking and keeping the accelerator pedal neutral is key.

Lol 😂 I dont play so the odds are certainly stacked against me ha ha

No its a good size, cant miss it - its dead centre to drivers view and also at the same time has the speed limit display just off to the left.

Ha ha

2 days before I did the deal, they updated the APP. To date I have had no issues at all with it. Setup took a long time, but its been working spot on. Remote stoping and starting charges, locking and unlocking the car remotely, transferring destinations to the sat nav. Will see how it goes over the next 47000 miles.

Thats awesome Gary! Congrats on your EV’s

Yeah 12 mini

@@IanSampsonRLO great little phones aren’t they.

Its kind of is, at one point it was the only public charger in Gloucester!

Sounds like is defo not for you! Having an absolute blast in it so far. Will see how the 50,000 miles goes!

I know, it would be awesome if it was!

Exactly, like with computers taking up an entire building...now look at them!

Keep an eye out in our Instagram - should be really up to date on that, as KZfaq will always be behind (aside from Live Streams of course!)

@@IanSampsonRLO I got rid of Insta a while ago, so I'll keep myself updated :) I can make time for a fellow EV YTer!

1000 mile review being filmed tomorrow most likely time permitting.

@@IanSampsonRLO really like your reviews so far, informative but too full of numbers.

@@mrglwatson arithmophobia?

@@IanSampsonRLO no, not really, I like your comment with the Honda-e, where 1% is about 1 mile, that’s good enough for me. I don’t really care if 1% is 1.1 miles or 0.9 miles.

@@mrglwatson yeah on a small batt car 1.1 or 0.9 doesnt make a lot of difference in the grand scheme...well unless you are cutting it really tight (like when a charger you arrive at doesnt work - still a problem in 2020 unbelievably!)

ha ha, one day.

Yer but when you get Pulse app setup it works well lot better than instant app never worked for people we spoke to so we got plus card too

@@nickieredshaw7835 polar plus doesn’t seem to work in the app.

@@SirHackaL0t. o I will find out next year when re sub

Do they no longer issue cards? All by app now?

@@IanSampsonRLO o that’s not good then 😭

Agree... unless they open up the full 35.5kwh at some point!

Channel name will give you a hint

Whole things a total mess over here, not as simple as just making sure you have some apps installed. Its like pot luck each and every time

If they unlocked the full capacity (or gave the option to) it would be spot on. I mean the battery is big enough in reality to do around 150...its just that its capped much lower.

@@IanSampsonRLO Do you know if there is anyone out there that could unlock the capacity apart from Honda?

No chance! If I could have bought one with 10,000 on it already I would have jumped at the chance, I know I can do 50,000 miles...the important question is can the Honda E do 50,000 trouble free.

@@IanSampsonRLO 😬

@@IanSampsonRLO I guess it will be reliable as it’s a Honda I did 85000 ish miles in 6 years in 06 civic and never had a problem. Was great car to own and drive . as you said the e need more range if they did civic size ev with 200+ miles range with same tech as honda e at sensible price I would be interested.

Why?

See ya Mark! All the best.

Sorry to hear that.

Average UK car commute per year in the UK for 2018 - 788 miles. You don't have to satisfy every user, still a huge market to go for in the short commute sector.

@@Festoolification 788 miles in how long ? A year or a month? I did that in under a month! Then did about that in social mile too .

Completely pointless to who? Slightly confused to the logic.
