You've accused a lot of people in this thread of lying.Why would you start your post with a blatant lie?
Maybe read the thread again and retract that
I'd rather not stop....but my bladder has other ideasI get that we're all different, but I'd rather not stop at all to be honest
Or pointed out a lot of people are lying. But Gent, yes he lied about me personally so that was a bad one.You've accused a lot of people in this thread of lying.
This is my life! My battery has a hell of a lot longer range than either my bladder or Mt need for a coffee!I'd rather not stop....but my bladder has other ideas
Why is it odd? I thought charging points at a lot of supermarkets are free?What an odd comment? Why did you ask that? No you don't pay in a shop. You either pay on the charger or through an app?
There's been many similar threads where you categorically dismiss concerns that people may have about buying an EV. It's the same with the other guy. EVs are unsuitable for many people for many reasons. For those looking at proper ownership of a vehicle to keep long term, they are not an attractive proposition. And just how good for the environment they currently are is still up for debate.Or pointed out a lot of people are lying. But Gent, yes he lied about me personally so that was a bad one.
I guess the others are just either misguided or using prejudice and emotive language.
The exorbitant cost of renting/leasing far outweigh any savings on fuel costs....There's been many similar threads where you categorically dismiss concerns that people may have about buying an EV.

Oh,and here's me thinking you were going to retract the lie you made about me earlier on.There's been many similar threads where you categorically dismiss concerns that people may have about buying an EV.

This is patently untrue. EV are more expensive than their ICE equivalents but not by much anymore. They used to be, yes. But not in 2021The exorbitant cost of renting/leasing far outweigh any savings on fuel costs....
They are? So its odd thinking you'd pay for something that is freeWhy is it odd? I thought charging points at a lot of supermarkets are free?
How much are you paying to rent your Tesla per month ?This is patently untrue. EV are more expensive than their ICE equivalents but not by much anymore. They used to be, yes. But not in 2021
Why are you being so sarky?They are? So its odd thinking you'd pay for something that is free
What do you call that thing that lives under bridges and eat goats?Why are you being so sarky?
He was asking a question.
I don't have an EV so I am also unsure how or when you pay for top-ups. Though I have seen supermarkets advertising them for free .
For someone claiming to be trying to educate us you don't seem to like answering genuine questions.
Sadly this argument was obsolete before EVs were around due to pay at pump.When you charge an EV you also don’t have to go into the petrol station shop to pay (waiting behind 15 people with baskets full of shopping). It all happens by magic at home whilst you have your feet up, drinking a riggwelter next to the fire.
There was an article online recently by a motoring journalist who'd been invited to Portugal to drive the Porsche Taycan. He loved it, but then he stopped at a services and tested the fast charging. Ultimately only 40% of his bill for charging was for electricity (fuel) the rest was service charges. He calculated that it would have been cheaper for him to do his journey in a diesel.Are charging points free to use? Or do you pay for the electricity in shop?
Is this because EVs are more expensive to produce or because the manufacturers have put their eggs in one basket and now have to convince everyone this is the correct decision by increasing the price of ICE cars disproportionately to make EVs seem a reasonable buy.This is patently untrue.

OK: some supermarkets give you charging for free. Usually, though, we need to pay through an app or a card. Companies like instavolt are better and you can pay at the charger using your card. IMHO that should be the future, rather than having an app. Although if companies could do what tesla do, where you just connect and get billed automatically that would be the bestWhy are you being so sarky?

Can you link to the article. it sounds really incorrect this. What "services" were being charged for? Was this like the BBC fraud thing where they drove from Lands end to john o groat and deliberately picked the most expensive chargers and routes?There was an article online recently by a motoring journalist who'd been invited to Portugal to drive the Porsche Taycan.

Certainly not the latter. Japanese car makers, for example, are running a government funded anti EV campaign. I believe older motor manufacturers find EV more expensive to produce because they are trying to make them on their old ICE lines. Rather than building new lines for themIs this because EVs are more expensive to produce or because the manufacturers have put their eggs in one basket and now have to convince everyone this is the correct decision by increasing the price of ICE cars disproportionately to make EVs seem a reasonable buy.
