Please Barrie give us a list of the accessories that you fitted in your Ami & I like the way that you fitted pipe insulation around the frame of the AMI ... you & the two guys from "Me and Mon Ami " are good for showing what you can do with your Ami not least an auxiliary battery pack for emergency charging.Different road conditions in France of course plus the French do not have the mania for large status-defining cars like we have (part of British car snobbery).

The place for EVs is small city cars like the Citroen Ami,Haibao,Wuling and Geely - they are ideal ..50-100 mies range 30-45mph.Long distance inter-city + motorway will remain the province of ICE vehicles.. OK home charging if you have a driveway EXCEPT what are the fire risks and what will be the effect on house insurance .Lithuim battery fires are hard to put out and burn very hot .If you live in a terraced house on a cobbled street trailing a charging cable from the house & across the pavement is out - and using public chargers with a BEV makes your journeys very expensive compared to home charging .

I had 2 C1s.Both pissed in water. Seems to be Citroën thing......Such an innovative car company let down by shoddy build quality and poor customer care time and time again.

hah there it is! Jan Rosenow, a lobbyist shaping government policy. Current and past roles including *_World Economic Forum_* biased is an understatement. That guy sounds like he's the Goebels of the WEF

great vid ,i need to do this ,so the leisure battery charges the ami battery while in park ??

Can you Imagine what would happen if we all had taken onboard the EVs, with the infrastructure this Country has, or more to the point doesn’t have, with ED Rubberbands Net Zero madness we would not have enough electricity, we would be having black outs every five minutes!!

So to get the sound all at one level you do what's called "normalizing". The industry standard is -10db. You can use programs like Reaper or others to accomplish this.

Love my Citroen Ami it’s amazing

Spot on Barry. I used to love all them YT EV channels but I rarely watch them now as they are almost religious broadcasts ! Unless there is a really interesting new vehicle on them (and I love micro cars) I won't watch them !

Just your video for the first time . I have retired from 40yrs selling cars and agree with most of what you say . I have an MG4 and trued initially to cope with granny charger mistake ! Anybody that perseveres with that will sell and spew anti EV to anybody who will listen (And I wouldn't blame them ) I now have home charger @ 9p per Kwh (could be 7p ) . Only way to do it . I do 200 miles a week for £5 Servicing cost me £80 including RAC Motorway charging is EXPENSIVE But how often do I use it ? Government should let EV's progress without the Net Zero suicide pact . And , you have to take into account that Oil companies are funding anti EV press because they do NOT want EV's to catch on !!

Cheers to you, Barry. All those years in the trade, an EV ‘fan’ in the right ways but you call out the government and EV BS even though you’re retiring from the trade soon. Best wishes, and I hope to see more content in the future 👍

Crash test rating = -1 ??

Don't fluff yourself up. You're a liar who found that spreading crap gets clicks.

ugly cars thats why people dont want by EVs , you need segsi cars to sell

old video 🙁

Also i have to warn you Barrie be careful drinking that Starbucks coffee ! Im gonna sound like a Conspiracy theorist now but they are using Arla Dairy Milk and their cattle are fed that Bovaer stuff and what that does is stops the enzymes in the cows intestines from producing methane gas lol you could not make it up , So i have stopped drinking Starbucks now and not drinking fresh milk anymore unless its from a dairy that dont use that chemical , The crazy thing is and i wrote to my local MP about it is that volcanoes produce far more methane than cattle but they dont ban them LOL clown world we seem to be living in and it dont look good with Bill Gates wandering into 10 Downing Street weekly to meet with the PM.

Hi Barrie i hope your Xmas has been good Just to say the thing stopping me buying an ev is the cost of charging and car insurance , good example i can buy a 2017 Leaf for only £3 grand with 50 thousand on the clock the problem is to charge it would cost £7 more for 80 miles than i pay in my Petrol car and the insurance is £50 a month more as insurers dont want to touch EVs due to the fire hazards lol , So the govt in their infinite wisdom are making it harder for us to buy EVs and are forcing us to drive old Petrol or Diesel technology around , Progress eh ? lol

Barrie you know the " General Inteligence " in BIG DEALER SALES DEPT . "SALES PERSONS ALWAYS HAD A MAN ON THAT" MAN COMING TOMORROW" . The ACUMULATED EV STOCK did not arrive in a few days . They BOUGHT IT IN even when the original stock was looking like OVERAGE EATING MONEY NO INTEREST. THERE OWN CREATED PROBLEM ...POOR MANAGEMENT ...TYPICAL MOTORTRADE.

You can teach sales. But only to the right people.

Interesting car. Have you ever done a review of it ?

Your one of my favourite "EV haters". I have only ever felt you were trying to report on EVs and the effect on the motor trade as one whole. I am looking forward to the January sales figures where the truth or not of your reports will be clearly shown. I think you are going to be right but wish it was just mega EV sales and onwards.

Was that Preston Motor Park near Preston Docklands Barrie? It looked like it. I used to work there 25 years ago when the Toyota place was SGL Phoenix (MG/Rover). Next to it was Renault and Volvo, and not far up the road was a Makro. Any of it still there?

Being a good in car sales is just about being a good communicator & honest with people and knowing your product.

For me it would be as much use as a chocolate teapot, also having to fit a diesel heater is just comical

So, Barrie, (you naughty boy) you are still not driving an emission-free vehicle when it's cold😂

An epic rant Barrie. Most enjoyable.

I dislike EVs not for themselves but because of what they represent. The entire rationale underlying their existence is a lie. That’s the problem I have with them. Carbon dioxide is in no way, shape or form a problem. The claim that it puts the climate at risk is a lie. Not a difference in opinion. Straight lies, sponsored for decades by the same people who are running the fake pandemic.

With any luck, I will have gone to the big charging station in the sky by 2030.

Do you know my cousin Andrew McKie. dealer in Blackburn.

Why do you not just have a small diesel car Barry. I must admit, it is cute.

Film on the bull nose 2 minutes away from Morrisons - River Ribble as backdrop.

Great little warm mobile recording studio you have their Barry! really like your videos cheers

I'm trying to keep an open mind but sorting the truth from the misinformation is very difficult.

Unlike you Barry I absolutely hate electric cars... Having said that, if I did have to have an EV ( and car buyers are being forced into EV's) I'd probably have a little Ami because it's not really a car🤣 keep spreading the good word mate

It always takes a few months to deliver a new car so now you're running on copium fumes. There isn't a difference between sales and registration. It's the number of EVs built and on the road. That 25% built and 5% of all cars on the road. The end: you lost.

I loathe electric cars overpriced and not the future for most people who do longer drives.

Even if all Reform do is cancel all this EV - Net Zero nonsense in the UK which is going to impoverish the working/middle class I would seriously consider voting reform...and even put up with all the rest of the unintended consequences!!!

My 1.5 diesel is doing great 👍❤️🇬🇧

Simple, don't buy new cars just shop around.

I would rather buy a horse than a EV it’s all propaganda,let’s see how many manufacturers go bust in the next 10 years pushing this through.

As i have previously said " THERE IS A HUGE HIDING PLACE FOR ALL THESE EV. LEMONS BEEN REGISTERED. When they have Reg. Plates the DEPRECIATION cycle is activated , and who has MONEY IN ALL THIS " UNWANTED " UNSALEABLE" DEPRECIATING JUNK !!. Answers on a post card please.

With digital watches they gave them away with fuel tokens.

All I can say is, you get what you all voted for......

Most of the cars I see are not EVs and I don't know anyone who has bought one.

They are giving away fiat 500e in Colorado on a free 27 month lease you should talk about it on your main channel you can find it on Google

Electric Vehicle Derangement Syndrome....EVDS! The House of Lords report on anti EV *propaganda.* now there's some 100% proof hypocrisy right there! "Weight Doesn 't cause excess tire wear." Of course it does.

I feel the value of my brooom brooom going up by the day!

EVs are a nightmare 💀💀,,,I can’t wait for my new Diesel defender in January 🙏💕💕💕🇬🇧

Question Barrie, when the manufacturers have registered the 22% to meet the target so no fines, what happens in 2025 when this years cars are languishing on forecourts and they have to register 28% EV sales but still with minimal sales and yet more unsellable cars coming back off lease? Hertz in the states are asking customers who hire Tesla’s if they want to buy the car instead of returning it because Hertz can’t sell the things through normal channels, no one wants them.

Ford had to stop selling the Fiesta which was their best seller for over a decade because they knew that it would massively reduce the ratio of EVs to ICE vehicles. You can't stop producing your best seller and produce EVs that people don't want and expect to be around in the future.
