Thank Andy., great video. If the slightly slower DC charging isn't an issue, the Renault Zoe 52 kWh (with 50 kW DC charging) is also good value, now at just under £10k. Takes about 55 minutes 10'% to 80%. Real world range over 200 miles and good efficiency.

@AndrewEbling
@AndrewEbling Ай бұрын
@@mikebikekite1 have to confess I did have a momentary wobble before buying the Zoe (2nd hand) - "buying a French *electric* car - am I crazy?!". In practice the only electrical issues I had were when the 12V battery needed replacing and a drivers airbag warning light (had to get the storks cluster replaced to fix, but it was only just over £100, IIRC). Everything on the traction side was fine, and at this point Renault arguably have a lot more experience producing EVs at volume, than many alternatives. I'd buy another Renault EV, without hesitation.

My local dealer has just done two standard Model 3's in white with black interiors, both 100k miles, both tidy one owner cars on quality tyres. £13,995 and £12,995, both with 3 month dealer warranties (albeit just dropping out of Tesla bat warranty). Drove one and it felt perfectly screwed together: tight as a drum, not a rattle, squeak, creak or groan. Probably should have grabbed one, but one thing's for sure, prices aren't rising so I'm sure other deals will be along soon. Even so, incredible value.

Good content. Earlier this year I bought a MY20 Kia e Niro 4, it had quite high mileage, but had main dealer FSH, and the onboard diagnostics reported no errors and great battery health. I paid just a tad under 12K for it. I easily get over 260 miles. I needed something that I could charge up at home (London) and then do a round trip to Worcestershire to visit my parents who don’t have charging facilities. I can easily get there and back one charge and even have sufficient range to drive around a bit whilst there. Coming from a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (which is an _amazing_ car, and I still own it) my round trip costs have gone from over £50.00 to under £10.00. I agree that the Tesla is a better overall package - you just cant beat the SC network. IMO, unless you go really high end, most EV drivers _would_ buy a Tesla over anything else. The reason they don’t - like me - is that they can’t really afford it.. I often see it here in London, people buy a cheaper EV, and then bad mouth Tesla’s in an effort to justify why they didn’t get one. truth be told, a LOT more people would own a Tesla if they could… I certainly would. In the mean time, I’m content with my E Niro… but in the future, who knows?

Insurance costs, part availability, service centre availability and (accident) repair times are good reasons to steer clear of Tesla. Even the Enyaq is a better drive than the Model Y too. With Superchargers gradually being opened up to non-Teslas, that unique advantage is narrowing too.

A reputable garage may have an OBD ( on board diagnostics) port reader for the car and be able to see indicators to the traction battery health.

Interested in a used e-Niro or Kona, but in my experience full service history ones are few and far between, and this is needed for the warranty to be valid! Probably because they have a daft service interval of 10000 miles or 1 yr. In any case, I wouldn’t buy one out of warranty, the stories about the Gear Reduction Unit design flaws/failures could leave you with a very expensive bill.

In the UK if you are doing 10,000 miles a year with home charging of an EV you could be saving £1000 a year on your fuel bill, no road tax, no ULEZ charges, Congestion charge exemption, ultra low servicing costs and not to mention doing the local air quality and climate as a whole a favour. If you’ve got a good reason to change your car - maybe there’s a good argument not to delay. And if you are going 2nd hand you’ll most likely be getting a more reliable EV with longer remaining warranty than comparable ICE car of the same mileage. After 2 years of having purchased privately my EV - Genesis GV60 RWD funded by a windfall ( I made some money from a famous computer games company I was at for 8 years in the form of a private pension), my personal advice at the moment is only to buy new if you’re wealthy or got access to a windfall the depreciation is just too high as the technology and competition is so fast moving. I recommend leasing for a while and see what’s important to you in an EV. A poor choice of EV for one’s situation can be a very costly mistake. A lot of the expensive EVs on the road at the moment in the UK are business tax benefit purchases, subsidised employee lease schemes, fleet vehicles and private lease. Pensioners are purchasing with retirement windfalls. £40K-£60K on a new EV is a lot of money from anyone’s 9-5 salary!

That's a very common 'complaint' about range from non EV owners - which usually turns out to be inconsequential once they actually own an EV for a while. For example, most modern EVs will do around 250+ miles range-per-charge - sure, that appears low when compared to an efficient diesel car that can do 600+ miles on a tank of fuel. But, 600 miles is like driving from London to Inverness - a 10 hour drive. So, no-one in their right mind would even attempt that length of journey non-stop - it'd simply be unsafe. Actually, what most people do is drive for, say 3-4 hours, then take a 20-30 minute comfort break - pee, grab a coffee, catch up on emails etc etc before doing the next 3-4 hours. A 3-4 hour drive, at least here in the UK, is basically 200miles. So, instead of your car just being sat idle in the car park while you take your break - like drivers have done for decades - with an EV, you simply plug it in to any one of the huge number of public rapid charge points up & down the UK's road network BEFORE you take your break and, by the time you've done, the car's back up to 80-90% charge ready for the next 200 mile / 3-4 hour leg of your journey. It's just a different way of doing things - that's all.

Cost of repairs is a very common concern with non-EV drivers. But, on the face of it, whilst a standard combustion-engine has around 200-300 individual parts, an electric motor has 3. So, statistically, the powertrain in an EV is significantly less 'likely' to fault. And, as for batteries, most modern lithium-ion EV battery packs are good for 200,000 miles or more - considering the average mileage that cars go to be scrapped is between 77,000 miles and 157,000 miles, depending on which country the car's been driven in, even current battery tech is going to be perfectly long-lasting for the vast majority of drivers.

Great driving car, let down by terrible software / dangerous driver aids and build quality issues ( the low rent interior you can accept for the price )

To be honest, far less chance of a EV being a dud, than a ice of the same age. Only nasty surprise would be battery & most of them have 8 year warranties. As is known from the early Leaf's Over 8 years, which did not have thermal management like newer models. Is not a issue that many face. Just like having to buy a new engine when something blows.

@@johniooi3954 Not many would buy a new engine if it blew on an 8 year old car, just a recon or more likely a low mileage used example. Mate at work got his Golf 1.4tsi back on the road with a 74k engine supplied and fitted for £920 inc vat. Be a long time before we will be able to be a used EV battery for that price, probably never but, as you say, battery failure is pretty rare so not something to worry about too much.

There are some interesting KZfaq videos on the 2024 update of Polestar 2 over previous iterations. Notable now RWD, more power, more efficient, more range and faster charging. Things which were available on the competition years ago- eg. Ionic 5, EV6. I can’t forgive the Polestar2 for the rear cabin transmission tunnel making it in essence a 4 seater not 5 seater.

On a separate note, I noticed that the AT tracker plugin is still working for you. When I try to use it, auto trader seems to have blocked it. Are you able to get around that somehow?

@@AndrewEbling. I recall telling a garage I’m as serious as a heart attack about buying a car today you’re the first garage I’ve been in and and hopefully the last and this is what I want. When they said the 0% finance deal wasn’t available on that model and tried to interest me in something else I said thank you I’ll try another garage. I was told to wait. They had me waiting nearly an hour then came back saying it would be a more complicated sale but they could do it! It was a 50% now 50% in 2 years time cash deal don’t know if that makes a difference. If a show room picks up on you being serious- and they can tell- they’ll not have you walk away.

@@Antiguan_Dart my favourite line, which has successfully bagged me £1k off previously, is "what can you do on the price to make me buy TODAY?". Same basic idea though - I'm here to buy a car, let's find something which works for both of us. The line I now how hear often in response is that the Internet has equalised all prices and that the discount has been factored into the price already. This is despite Autotrader giving you an indication of whether each car is competitively priced.

Because so much tech comes as standard on the Teslas it’s a significant hike in the UK brand new £45K model 3 price tag before you get to the equivalent vehicles from another manufacturer - ionic 5, EV6, GV60. Others often quoted competitors don’t have the efficiency, range, charge speed or tech ( good ADAS ) or the price is a significant jump again putting you in the luxury segment before you get all the features like in the case of the iX, EQC ( great tech with sumptuous luxury ) but ridiculously expensive or like the Tycan, Eletre incredible performance and even more ludicrous price tags once equipped up. But a factor which can upset all that is personal preference for driving characteristic. I like a firm ride communicative with the road, some people like something more wafting or need something with a lot of poke or a combination. The choice is getting bewildering now. Good luck.

You featured the wrong Ioniq in my opinion... The OG Ioniq electric is generally overlooked but offers amazing value at £13k to £15k used, depending on spec and mileage. The "newer" version has a 38kWh battery and due to the crazy good efficiency gives a lot of the newer bigger battery cars a run for their money in terms of range. I'm seeing 200 real world miles out of mine at the moment, and I'm not particularly trying. That's nuts for a 38kWh battery!! The Ioniq 5 has some unique looks no doubt, but is nowhere near as efficient and about £7k to £8k more on the used market at the mo.

If I could charge from home I would consider buying an electric vehicle even though I work nights, as I don't have access to off road parking, an electric vehicle is out of the question purely due to the lack of infrastructure in the area where I live, add that to the initial cost of buying an electric vehicle, the amount of technology, which I don't understand, and the fact that I can't pay for electricity with the kings currency as I do with diesel, it puts me off. Rather ironically, the first car you mentioned, the Corsa, really appeals to me, I've driven an electric Corsa and I really like it, it's not over the top with technology in the way of something like Tesla where everything is done on a screen, funny that you are allowed to use a screen in your car but not your phone, surely there's no difference, by the way I'm not condoning using a phone whilst driving, I also like the Honda E, it's quirky look and the squared looks of the Ioniq 5, the other issue I have is that you're still looking at paying over £10000, I bought my car 13 years ago and it's still going strong, should the infrastructure improve, I would consider an electric vehicle, the only other thing that puts me off is not being able to pay with cash, that is a huge issue for me

In the UK if you are doing 10,000 miles a year with home charging of an EV you could be saving £1000 a year on your fuel bill plus no road tax, no ULEZ charges, Congestion charge exemption, ultra low servicing costs and not to mention doing the local air quality and climate as a whole a favour. If you’ve got a good reason to change your car - maybe there’s a good argument not to delay. And if you are going 2nd hand you’ll most likely be getting a more reliable EV with longer remaining warranty than comparable ICE car of the same mileage. After 2 years of having purchased privately my EV - Genesis GV60 RWD funded by a windfall ( I made some money from a famous computer games company I was at for 8 years in the form of a private pension), my personal advice at the moment is only to buy new if you’re wealthy or got access to a windfall the depreciation is just too high as the technology and competition is so fast moving. I recommend leasing for a while and see what’s important to you in an EV. A poor choice of EV for one’s situation can be a very costly mistake. With increasingly more green tabbed registration plates (BEV) on UK roads the average punter must be thinking how can all these people afford these new expensive electric vehicles?! A lot of the expensive EVs on the road at the moment in the UK are business tax benefit purchases, subsidised employee lease schemes, fleet vehicles , disability mobility funded and private lease. Pensioners are purchasing with retirement windfalls. £40-£60K on a new EV is a lot of money from anyone’s 9-5 salary!
