Re: EV Thread

So, under Scottish building regulations, I have to get a 7kw EV charging point put in to the new house. I can't just pre-wire it ready for one in years to come depending on how the tech develops and if we ever end up needing one. Is there a good buying guide to these things, or any personal recomme...

I'm old enough not to care if I'm rude, I just look them in the eyes and give a firm "no" and keep walking.

Re: EV Thread

If you don't need it full why worry about it, for daily use? I tend to just chuck a couple hours into it every few days, only 100% if I need the full range. Also, if you're home charging I wouldn't worry about it either way, it's a trickle charge in real terms, so it shouldn't upset the battery too...

Re: EV Thread

If you wanted a runabout 2nd/3rd car you could do much worse yes, but worth remembering this is a new marque to UK so dealers/servicing might be an issue. They get good reviews though, and that price is likely a monthly fuel bill for most ppl anyway..

Re: Harry’s Garage

He cheated on his chosen deal though, the dep was £25k not £20k he used on the pricey examples. Still cheaper mind. Just listened to it all and overall agree with most of his points, altho he did pick on older batteries/management for the worst degradation examples, which is a tad unfair, altho it d...

I'm waiting for the end of year fleet emissions fines to bring a swathe of cheap EV lease deals tbh, current one goes back mid month and currently nothing appealing in the price range I'm willing to cough up. I'd take another Niro but not paying £100/m over current prices :evil: Ora Funky Cat is be...

Who'da thunk it?
:shock:

I paid £195 FC on the EP3, last October. For the entire policy.

Just realised, this isn't for the old E46 is it :roll:

Re: Wales 20mph limit

The irony is that no rational human would argue against 20 in those areas, its the empty non residential stretches that were perfectly safe at 30mph but are now tedious and cause people to pay even less attention, that are the issue. But that would require rational reasoning and a focussed attempt t...

From 22.7mph to 20.3mph If the average speed was only 22.7 was it really worth pissing off an entire country Has the traffic level reduced too I wonder? I'm certainly avoiding Wels...

Re: Heating Tea

I'll drink tepid tea but stone cold is getting thrown away, and I'll flagellate myself to wasting a good English institution.

Coffee never gets reheated, as it never gets chance to cool off to that degree.
