Thanks, useful info

Is this the modern version of a Citroen AX Diesel maybe?

Amazing how Tesla can remotley dial in / order the part and give a day/ time slot for fitting all at the same time .. 1st class service .

Nice honest review

It is a understated great car!

We desperately need more small, lighter weight EVs. These huge SUVs with massive batteries just make no sense at all.

Government needs to mandate 3 Phase 22kW capability to all EV brands and have 3 Phase AC charging everywhere. It should a fixed price of 10p per kWh for slow AC.

Love one pedal driving in my Bolt, I get between 4.3 - 4.6 miles per/kwh. Pretty happy with the results.

Actually just use it as a hybrid, especially if u buy it used with no warranty on battery. I charge mine to only 60% and never run it fully electric. Then leave it stored at 40%. I still get 70-75 mpg. And my battery is still good after 200,000 miles and 6 years. I drive 46km of the 50km full electric range the car had when new.

The issue is the margins, they’re just not there for a manufacturer to make a small, cheap electric car.

More 49 shades of grey

Small cars are great and often big sellers - but make cr*p profits for the manufacturer, which is why they, inevitably, make bigger cars to sell at bigger prices to make bigger profits. It sucks, but it's just economics... 😒

You should test Dacia Spring

This is not the most efficient electric car, it's much less efficient than Dacia Spring. With Dacia Spring, I have an average consumption (winter included) of 10.3 kWh/100km, or 6 miles/kWh.

My wife bought a Seat Mii brand new, just about the last one in the country (it was the dealer's demo car) and we both absolutely love it. Efficient, fun to drive and completely silent. We're also wondering why there hasn't been a replacement in that end of the market - a simple, small and cheap EV.

Bearing in mind the lies VW told about diesel, and the deceit about mpg amongst combustion cars, can we trust these dashboard figures? Perhaps cross checking with your energy input data would be helpful.

The one that is missing, that took me surprisingly long to figure out on longer journeys... Overtaking. Obviously if we never over take we will use less energy, but it will take way longer to get to where we want on those long journeys. I know, I tried it. The balance I found was rather simple. The biggest enemy I noticed for my EV is hills, EV's go up hills fine, but the range falls when you go up one. So now I do not overtake when going up any sort of a hill. If it is flat, or downhill, then I overtake. But going uphill I am fine sitting in the "slow lane." I find this has given me the ideal balance on some economy, and some much needed speed on longer journeys. So I can be doing 50mph behind a truck going up, and then go flying past it at 70mph once the road levels out or goes downhill. It really shortens the time behind the wheel.

My similar vehicle doen't leak. I've driven it in heavy down pours and no leaks.

I have a similar vehicle !

I bought an e-Up! last December after watching your earlier video when you first found the Seat Mii (I wanted the extra bells and whistles). THANK YOU! I've been REALLY impressed with the efficiency too. Our "main" car is a Kia e-Niro, which has a range of nearly 300 miles, so obviously that's what we use for long journeys. But I much prefer driving the e-Up! The steering wheel controls are more logical and comfortable. And the seating position is more comfortable (important to me, as I'm a back pain sufferer). I have a weekly 100 mile round trip, including a lot of mostly motorway and a 10 mile each way commute. For shorter journeys, I usually use Eco+ mode, but sometimes such to Eco on the motorway. The range is quoted as 125 miles. Normally you'd take that with a pinch of salt, and the real world range would be less. One week in FEBRUARY, out of curiosity, I decided to see what range it could actually get. I finally ran out of juice after 172 miles, over 37% further than it's supposed to be capable of. I haven't pushed my luck again to trust the exercise; once it's enough. But it amuses me every so often when fully charged and it tells me I have over 200 miles of range (it's lying: it's not THAT good). I have no idea what period the app's "long term" data covers, but it tells me that I've averaged 6.1mi/kWh over the last 534 miles. It's phenomenal!

Is the inverter a True Sine wave inverter? "Pure" sine wave is just marketing. But non-sine wave inverters are really risky for appliances that have a motor in it. Can you please confirm this?

The Ioniq gets close and is a proper 5 seat saloon. I currently get 6.5m/kwh and 4 to 5 in winter doing 38miles a day on varied urban/rural A roads. Yes, we need more economic EVs, not these electron gobbling SUVs.

hi we have the ccs1 to chademo adapter & ccs2 to chademo adapter which was tested in Europe and in the USA. please let me know if you would like to purchase one. accraine.co.uk/product-category/adapter/

Sneezed…😂😂😂😂😂

For sure i will not buy. They can stick their car where the sun dont shine

I guess the only close one is the old e-Niro :)

Bought a used Mii as first intro to EV’s & agree with everything you say. Couldn’t be happier!

@ElectricVehicleMan is talking real figures; not quoted figures from a manufacturer. We have owned our Mii Electric for 2 years and it is genuinely is economical with the electrons it uses. We have just used ours to Gatwick (180 mile round trip - nearly all motorway) and it averaged 5.1m/kWh. We charge the Mii at home using OVO - and it costs us £3.60 'ish for a FULL charge - so efficiency per £ is high - you cannot hyper mile even a dirty diesel to do 180 miles on £3.60's worth of dirty fuel!!! Our other car, an Ioniq 5 is less efficient at 4m/kWh; but it still gives us a genuine range of 280m if we need it - and it is just a fantastic car. Again, charging at home is about £6.50 for a FULL charge. Anyone who comments negatively against EVM and many other pro EV channels obviously does not care about trying to save the planet - they have the "head in the sand syndrome!!" thinking it is somebody else's problem...

Kia NiroEV and Hyundai are way more efficient than a model 3 and actually do advertised ranges. Better battery system all round for longevity too. Its been this way since the Eniro 2019.

Hi. Do batteries hold their charge when not in use? Thanks

There needs to be more analysis on WHY this car is more efficient, given it’s just the ‘same old’ battery technology. I assume it’s weight. We also need verification of the in-car efficiency reporting. Are we positive it is accurate??

Local councils seem to use destination charging as a cash cow. In Scarborough they use Connected Kerb who charge 50p per kWh. But I've seen higher prices in some towns.

Just the info I was looking for! Why no electricity equivalent specs for mpg? Manufacturers are getting away with bad engineering.
