    I overheard the service adviser explaining the £250 service charge to a couple in their 80s - in front of me in the queue to pay. For a new-ish MG EV. A car with no radiator, no exhaust, no oil/air filters etc. You could tell the shame in his voice. The EV dream is based on lies, deceit and frankly outright fraud. My petrol Subaru - I service this myself for under £100.

    Go to a HEVRA garage and pay a fraction for a 'health check' of any ev . Main dealers will always 'milk customers' as much as they can. The only exception is Tesla who do not have a service schedule for their EVs. Personally i see every MOT on my evs as the service , once a year ! I never use main dealers , and before you say it , no warranty is voided by not using a main dealer. Look up 'block exemption' on google re car services and manufacturers warranty.

    Why do people sell second hand ICE cars, after only a couple of years, if they are so amazingly brilliantly wonderful, and the best things in the entire universe? Is my question more pathetic, than yours, or they are pretty much in the same stupid ballpark? I reckon we are both being jerks and they are the same level of pathetic.

I drive a 1998 Citroen ZX, which is the limit in the technology for me to strip down entirely and rebuild. Mark 2 escorts, Fiat 132s and Austin minis and allegros were the cars i learned on. There are a hell of a lot of people who only keep cars a few years, irrespective of make, model or fuel type. I think once we get to understand the differences better, and iron out the creases, we will realise that EVs are generally better than ICE.

    On the whole there's a lot less to go wrong on these. You can rag the socks off em and it wont do any damage unlike blowing the head gasket on a petrol or diesel. No turbo to go wrong, clutch to burn out, engine to run dry of oil or timing belt to snap (highly unlikely with such an age car with the belt but you never know) Plus these will all have warranties on their batteries because of their age.

    I had one of those Vauxhall eCombi carriers from my dealership when my Ioniq was in for air con warranty work. Can I say it’s the most uneconomical EV I know! 50kw battery but motorway Dunfermline to Kinross, Kinross to Perth and return then back to Dunfermline and drained the battery from full to 20%. My 38kw Ioniq would likely be on 70% (around 120 miles left). I know there’s a huge drag coefficient difference but ong, Vauxhall could do better!

    From what I have seen, these prices are hardly the cheapest. For old tech, slow charging, they are what you might expect. All of these older tech EVs are brilliant as cheap runabout / second cars. Buying an EV at £6k and saving £1,500/yr in petrol makes good financial sense.

    @@wonderingworld119 There are lots, but many are single charger locations; very few with more than 2; and there are big gaps between locations with 2 or more; especially if you are in an older car with sub 100 mile range. The Cotswolds only has 2 multi-charger locations right now; one at the northern end of the A417; and one off the A40 at Brize Norton - both the rare NEW installs. There are no multi-charger locations at the M25 Motorway services after Brize Norton, all the way to Gatwick, and only a single charger between just south of Manchester and Birmingham, heading south (loads going north). I have had a lot of issues with single charger locations; from being stuck for over an hour while an old Leaf charged to 100%; to having the charger decide it only wanted to charge at 8 KW. I dont live in the Cotswolds, but if I want to get to London, it is the only viable safe route for a sub 100 mile EV with CHAdeMO; and I had HUGE issues when both the A417 AND A419 were closed entirely over Easter, and I needed to get to Gatwick.

    Most points barring Ionity and Tesla have them and they’re still going in new. It is normal though that if there is a set of 6 units only 2 will have a 2nd cable for Chademo. Just more cars using CCS and given they have the “so debilitating range and battery life” it’s unusual to find more than 2 leafs out and about charging at the same station at the same time.

    Buy through eco cars from shoreham and not pay 10% of hammer value ! The public fees are 10% of the final price , but a max of £750 so a £7500 bid will be £750, as £40k car will be £750 These are the cheapest vehicle auction houses around , BCA are easily double !

    Bid for a battery

    Why would you bid for a battery? Personally i'd consider a battery pack refurbishment from somewhere such as Cleveleys Electric Vehicles in Gloucestershire. They are an independent EV specialist, who offer EV repairs and servicing. Cleveleys posted a KZread video around 3 years ago, of a battery pack refurb they carried out on a 10 year old UK owned Nissan Leaf. The work took 4 hours, and the cost was £500. The sheer amount of utter nonsense posted about EV batteries, by people who don't have a clue, is mind-blowing.....

    You can generally check battery health if you're allowed access to the keys. I tend to think you can guesstimate if it's been rapid charged much by looking at mileage and age. A healthy car with 250 mile range will travel about 150 miles a day Monday to Friday keeping it within the 20-80% bracket. That would make a 1 year old car have 39,000 on the clock with just a home charger. Also if it has a type 2 to 2 cable that looks well used. Anything above that has probably had rapid charges. Let's not forget lfp batteries that don't mind so much being rapid charged and charged to 100%. They're on a lot of the 2022 and beyond models.

    Which EV have you owned or heard about, which have had lots of problems? Are you speaking from actual experience, or just taking a guess? My Kia eNiro had one minor problem at 1300 miles from new - a faulty seat belt warning. It was sorted under warranty in less than 45 minutes. The car has now covered 34k miles, with no further faults. I still have over 4 years of the original warranty left to run. And what's this "money pit" nonsense? My last service cost me £68. You don't have a clue what you're talking about.

    You should be happy people are buying EV's , every ev on the road means 1 less car at your petrol station, and when less petrol/ diesel is bought the price goes down (remember covid when diesel and petrol dropped to 99p per litre) so all the ev drivers are helping ice drivers lower the cost of motoring. I own both an ice and ev and there is no question an ev charged at home is over 50% cheaper to run than a diesel, however I will keep a diesel (berlingo van) for ,well van stuff and emergency long drives if they pop up.
