ELECTRIC VEHICLES

[Artie Fufkin]

Not for me. Example, my sister has one, and when she went to the lakes the charge point she went to was out of order, and they were waiting for it to be fixed, as there was fuck all else in range. She had to sit there for hours as she was already in a queue. Never again will she take it on any sort of distance run. Hybrids I would go for when they are reasonably priced.

I can easily get to the Lakes and back in mine without charging....

Hybrids? So you can go 40 miles on electric? Pointless

That's not how my hybrid works, unless I stick my toe down it stays electric, especially at lower speeds, but if I stick cruise control at 72mph it will stay electric on the motorway and the ICE engine only k8cks in if it needs to maintain that speed, on an incline for example. Sometimes it's electric only, sometimes ICE only, sometimes both. All depends on the power reserves in the battery which is charged when braking, or you can put it in a different drive 'gear' and it will harvest power for the battery at a quicker/higher rate.

My commute is about 75% electric only, both power sources when pulling away

Honda HR-V 2023

I like the look of them

Very nice motor, but because its a CVT drive train, it can rev a little high (bit noisy) before changing gear if you hit the throttle as a result of both engines working together

I fill up once a month for about £50 doing about 100 miles a week average. Very comfortable on long journeys and full of nice kit.

Had a go in one mate. Very very fast which surprised me. Would be ideal if I decide to take the ferry for boro matches instead of flights but my nippers would ruin the seats like

Good for pulling bewers like?

Yeah, pretty decent, but our lass says she prefers sitting in the passenger seat

I'll be needing a new motor but don't wanna bite the eleccy bullet until my kids are a bit older. I would be able to charge for free in barracks though. The Tesla MModel y looks half decent on pcp not sure on buying one outright and just swap it every 3-4 year

The Tesla model Y dual motor is the best car I have ever owned - and I've had a lot
