I have owned my Porsche Taycan EV Electric Car now for just over 2 years. The purchase price was £120,000. I've had a few quotes over the last few months for it as I'd like to go back to a Petrol Car. Unfortunately I found out the hard way that Electric Vehicles are a disposable item and you WILL lose all your money and could end up in great financial difficulty. My EV is now so worthless EVen the dealership does not want it back. BE WARNED! DO NOT BUY AN ELECTRIC CAR! Watch this video and share it across all you social media a friends. CLICK THE THUMBS UP so KZfaq Pushes this video out to people who are looking to purchase an Electric Car and have been fed the lies that Electric Cars are the future of motoring!!!

Lee, I bought a brand new Audi Etron RS GT in Jan 2023 for £130K. I sold it in Feb 2024 for £65K! This was the best price I could achieve, even though I had only done 4300 miles. This cost me nearly £1000 per week in depreciation and over £16 per mile! They are a complete con, driven by political motives.

When I was in business, it made sense to lease a new car every 3 to 5 years, and I would. Now I buy nice, well maintained mainly European cars, second hand. Last year I sold my 2011 turbo diesel Touareg after 5 years, paid $27k sold for $17,500 so $2k a year depreciation. I then bought a lovely 2015 Audi A6 Biturbo S line. I paid $30,500, new that car was $130,000. It looks and drives newish. It’s the only way to go.

I saw him frantically waving at me so i stopped and went to him. Luckily the window was just open wide enough i got the key. Talk about complicated i needed my pliers to turn the key and its three turns. We got him and rang his wife who came to collect him. The local recovery people could not get it onto their vehicle. So Porsche had to come out, It was the second time ot hadn't done 800 miles. Its going back they'd had enough and getting a petrol Porsche instead.

@anthonyevans7911 2 ай бұрын

hmmm, lets analyse. My e-NV has done 108000 miles, in that time the battery has degraded to around 80%. Currently the battery is degrading roughly 1% per 10000 miles thats been the case for the last 60000 miles. Bear in mind my van is 9 years old and the first generation of battery with 24kwh. His porsche has over 90kwh, and if that degrades similar to mine in 20 years time he will still have a battery capacity of 70kwh, hardly throw away stuff. Plus on a diesel you have DPF failures, EGR failures, injector issues, and all sorts of other really cosrly issues an EV DOESNT have. So, think again, EV`s have a use, they are not for everybody, but if the use suits, they are great, AND, if you have solar you can run it for nrearly free for 6 months a year depending on your daily usage, mine is 40 miles a day and it costs nowt for 6 month to run.

EV batteries are expected to last up to 20 years before they need replacing, so not really so different to ICE cars. Sure range will slowly deteriorate over that time but performance on ICE cars degrades over time too with 000’s being spent on engine maintenance during its lifetime. Personally I think that the bigger issue is the pace of advancement with EV technology and the relative lack of investment in charging infrastructure. At least people have finally wised up and are not buying EV’s to save money.

@onederment 2 ай бұрын

And when an ev battery does need to be replaced it still fetches quite a high value. It's sure not a throwaway part. I suspect in 20 years there will be new cell tech that will allow your old EV to be able to do 5000 km on a 20minute charge that costs only 10000€ to upgrade. No clutch replacement, no mashed gears, no burst gaskets and crap in the oil. Seems to make perfect sense to me. Also if you just trickle charge your battery with a low charger the degradation of the battery is far less. If there are cheap second hand EVs buy one as they are easier to maintain

I bought my Toyota Rav4 Prime a couple of years ago. It's a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). I installed a 240v charger in my garage. No range anxiety. The car does 40 miles on EV and 475 miles on petrol. I filled up twice last year! I love this car and have no issues with it. Battery life is guaranteed by Toyota for 10 years. It's currently worth about the same as original purchase price. You can keep your Tesla's, Porsche's and Jag's! Toyota does the job right!

Any car that can lock you inside when the 12 volt battery is flat or damaged in an accident is dangerious in the extreme. A person died in another brand of electric car recently when it caught fire after an accident and the door handles could not be used to open the doors. Why have cars with this problem not been recalled and fixed at the manufacturers' expense? Why are governments unwilling to act firmly to prevent more people dying in the future?

Bonkers! I have 4 cars (one is a petrol Porsche) and only rule for buying cars is: never buy a car which requires you to borrow money. There are so many fantastic used cars out there to suit every budget. If you can’t afford to buy a £10k car outright, then don’t buy one. Britain has a sickness where every person has to own and drive a luxury vehicle no matter what they earn, and they wonder why they’re now in a cost of living crisis. There’s something to be said for the joy of driving a shed. Cheap to buy, cheap to run and you won’t care if it gets the odd parking ding. And then you can still afford to live a comfortable life!

Depreciation. Not sure if *The Macmaster* is familiar with the concept? Cars lose half their value in the first 4yrs after purchase from new and that's what's happened here. I don't have an EV or any skin in the EV game. Anyone that buys a new car and expects it to hold its value is bonkers. It's the reason the used car market is massive: you get a good deal buying a used car. Drive your beautiful Taycan, enjoy it, remember why you wanted it, and perhaps be grateful you're one of the select club of people who can afford to buy a £120K car?
