The Electric Vehicle Thread- Im only driving one cause it cheaper then Diesel

Its amazing…hopefully its rolled out beyond its pilot

Surely though this one as it relates to scraopage will be pased on without the price increase as its only 2k cars getting it initially while everyone else will be affected by the price increase

I’ve told you it won’t.

You’re paying a list price at top. Easy compare by pricing elsewhere straight without scrappage.

The market was Electric leaning in a positive trend & used electric car values were rising and some ape in government makes this scheme up.

Utterly pointless and of no use when the charging network and our grid need massive investment.

Thats FF for you

Same as the first time buyers for houses.Builders just added 30k to the price of a new house.All paid for by me and you,the taxpayer.

VW also give a free charger installed for new buys.

Thinking of changing later in the year, maybe to a two-year old ID.3. Any experiences of them here?

Nailed it in 1…

These grants will simply push up the price and pad the Dealerships bottom line.

David Corbally tells a lot of cautionary tales in relation to 2nd hand EVs…The diesel/petrol engines have spurious parts available for replacement when needed… the EVs don’t…

But if a small section of the market can egt the 5k gramt i cant see how it helps t9 up the price for all.

The 3k grant is 100% taken by the dealer

What parts are needed

Do a little research… you might learn something… spoonfeeding you the information doesn’t help you… That way, the next time you buy an EV, you’ll do it with open eyes.

There’s quite a bit more to them than is portrayed by car salesmen…

Hint- Have a look at David Corballys stuff, it’s short and he explains stuff reasonably well imo.

FFS Ididn’t even know how to physically charge my yoke publicly
Embarrassingly had to video call the kid and he step by step brought me on​:roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes:
Course it would have helped greatly if if the correct corresponding app downloaded beforehand and remembered to bring my fickle n glasses
DISASTER me

They shouldnt be app related tbh

You should just be able to tap

Thats the biggest issue with public charging. Granted, its usually rare people have to do it, but there are at least 6 or 7 apps people should have and registered on so that if they need a public charge, at least they are set up to charge without much hassle. Tap and go is a bo brainer tho. I havent used a circle K charger but i believe they are set up that way. You shouldnt need an app to charge. If you want to do it that way amd keep logs etc, then fine, but the option should be either app charge or tap and go charge.
