I daily a 3 litre 313 bhp BMW 335D from 2017, 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, all wheel drive, and anywhere from 30-55mpg, leaves most cars for dead off the line. I used to drive it just for fun, doing easily 2,000 miles a month, last month my fuel bill was insane, £599. In the last week near enough, I drove to and from work for 6 days, it's a 12 mile round trip each day, plus I drove another 11 miles on my days off work a few days ago. I used 1/8th of a tank of fuel in a 3 litre car. That's about £12-£13 in fuel for an entire week... not bad at all! Goes like sh*t off a shovel, I've kept up with an Audi RS3, a Mercedes C63 AMG (which is a V12) and some dimwit tried to race me in his Tesla with his boyfriend in the passenger seat (looked like two men having a mid life crisis). The Tesla pulled away initially but within 2-3 seconds I was clawing the gap back, within 8 seconds I was level and passing the Tesla at a rate of knots. I recently kept looking at a Polestar 2 EV, but the though of the faffing about getting an electric charger installed, and a long cable run through the bedroom to the consumer unit in the house was a right put off, not only that but the cost of it also and then the cost of invariably sooner or later having to use the public charging network which is no cheaper than fuel (and often more expensive). Plus the "quoted range" figures are always miles out... they quote 420 miles for instance but you actually get 360... that's 60 miles less than quoted. Going to or from work that's almost a whole working week's driving for me just in the difference between those two figures. Glad I decided not to swap and just decided to drive my car less. Plenty of power when needed, reliable as anything, easy and very convenient to refuel and just as efficient as an EV, if not more efficient.

Had a Tesco about a mile away but they removed the free charging

Morag is Robert from Fully Charged,

Tesla just added 49,000 EVs into their inventory pool and have now pushed out some of the largest discounts for dealer driven and new Teslas. These discounts are coming close to the combined federal and state US government backed rebates (a max of $7,500 US)! Imagine taking $14,000 off a new Tesla. They will do anything to sell an EV.

And yet they are still not selling. Tesla have lost more than a third of their share value this year (CNN).

How to protect the environment. To manufacture each EV battery you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. This involves digging up 500,000 pounds of the earth's crust for just one battery. The carbon dioxide and other greenhouse emissions that come with the process of lithium mining, extraction and overall production are worse for the climate than the production of fossil fuel-powered vehicles. EVs are not sustainable.

I can put 600 miles of range in my 10 year old Diesel Golf in 2 minutes standing at a Diesel pump. And that's the argument over. There is literally nothing that any evangelist can say to it. I will treasure and nurse this car for as long as humanly possible. Keep fighting the good fight Lee.

So you have to detour to go to a petrol station to fill up. And do that every week or so to stand there in the cold like a lemon holding a nozzle for minutes at a time as you stare around. I just go home, park, and spend a few seconds plugging in. And every morning I have a full 'tank' ready to drive another 250 miles. You can cling to your old ritual if you want but I prefer my method.

@@danielcox194 Good to hear that you agree that spending zero time filling my car makes you happy. I live near Coventry in UK. Draw a 250 mile radius circle around there and I have enough range every morning to get anywhere in the country. Quite why you think that I need 600 miles range beats me. My bladder demands a stop inside 250 miles and while there the car fills up again and is ready to drive another 200 miles before I get back to the car. BYW laughing at non events is a first sign of instability. Take care to be more sensible.

Could someone tell me how many miles each year does an EV driver do extra trying to find a charger. How can all these extra miles be good for the plant. Madness.
