EV lover campaigning for a tariff for those without home charging using 7kwh chargers for 15p/kWh overnight 30p/kWh daytime Fast charging at 50p/kWh for £15pm

have put a new sign saying that maximum charging time 🕰️ is 15 minutes on a 7kw charger that gets you 1.75kw x 4 miles = 7 miles for 1.75 x 44p =77p I don’t understand this logic at all
The Volkswagen ID 7 Tourer has been revealed as an all-electric estate with up to 426 miles of range ⚡ The brand describes it as the “electric all-rounder of the new era”...

IF this happens it’s almost game over for everyone else £25k is the sweet spot to take market share & it’s going to be a very crowded market anything priced above £30k will struggle to sell in huge numbers imo
Have to say this

@Honda_UK
offer on the e:ny1 is still impressing me IF I had the money then I’d go for the advance version with the panoramic roof it’s MRP is £47k but they’re available registered before March 2024 for £31k much better than a Corsa for the same money !
This is an absolute stunner& definitely bringing cool to EV &will appeal to young &old the same it’s retro & future all in one it’s 5 door so more practical than the mini or fiat 500 maybe we will see an ID beetle too at some stage but I think this is what the European need to do
That does look cool but I’m guessing another £60k plus VW - they need to concentrate on bringing out the £25k
#ID2all
to market asap ideally in 2024 but it could be as late as 2026 . Vw need a sub brand of cheaper cars but instead Cupra & Skoda are becoming more expensive too
Think that might be taking the Vauxhall sponsorship of the tesco pod point chargers a bit too far lol !? Though I have to say very few people use them now they’re 44p/kwh for 7kw - so only person parked there is an ice zafira & the electric cars are parked elsewhere, Me included!
I’m buying my vw eUP!

as the 2 year lease ends this month at £11k it’s the most I’ve spent on a car purchase in over 25 years but I’m expecting it to last another ten years so that’s £100pm plus the savings over petrol as long as I can find public charging less than 50p/kWh
I often hear people say that no one would buy a 2nd hand EV, there aren’t any 2nd hand EVs etc etc
Well, new data from
@SMMT
shows that twice as many 2nd hand EVs were sold in the UK than a year ago
Market still small, but growing rapidly
IF you can afford the huge deposit of 9 x £399 = £3591 & insurance this seems too good to be true £399pm 10k miles pa for a

🤯 Mind Blowing EV Alert 🤯
This 2017 Tesla Model S 90D (with free lifetime supercharging) has done 315,000 miles
Imagine the fuel and associated costs that have been saved 🤯
This shouldn’t be read as a failure of EVs it’s more a failure of legacy makers failing to provide the EVs that people want for example VW would be better selling more eGolfs & eUps if they’d realised that the whole ID brand apart from the buzz which is a tad expensive & so it’s

a bargain to buy or lease - not sure what’s caused this price crash but I’d buy one if I didn’t already have an ev less than £20k new & better than 1/2 price or £250pm lease
irony is that no one uses them during the day now as most people charge at home overnight for less than 10p/kwh so charging while shopping at 7kw for 44p/kwh is pointless so the one time these could be useful is nighttime for those without home charging when the car park is empty

Lol it’s been cheaper to run an EV than an ICE since the dawn of mankind but it’s true there are number of public chargers out there that are still FAR TOO EXPENSIVE there’s no excuse for prices above 50p/kWh for anything 50kw & below it’s

@croft_garry
but I can’t see a better deal out there & the fact they cover all of Europe is the winner for me:)
It’s an obvious combination plus solar panels are so cheap now £60 + vat per 415w panel if you have south facing garden it’s a no brainer 4 panels on a shed for £240 + vat ! :)
According to our latest research, 81% of EV drivers want a solar integrated charger, though only 20% have solar panels.

🚨Price parity alert🚨
A brand new 61 kWh MG 5 EV estate for £24,990 is the same price as a brand new Vauxhall Astra 1.2 Design estate (station wagon) give or take £20.
Visiting a friend who has 15kwh of battery storage & solar panels ¬ exporting. in theory could go completely off grid but won’t just in case he needs back up but he uses about 0.75kw/day which cost about 20p but he’s penalised for being a low user with 60p/day standing charge

I honestly cannot understand why you’re getting so many anti EV trolls commenting - you’ve made an absolutely amazing purchase and taken advantage of the fact that the anti EV press has actually helped make used EVs more affordable that’s got to be a good thing :)
