- Join me on my journey driving from Nottingham to the furthest point on the East coast of England via Porsche Nottingham to enquire about my 40,000 2 Year Service on my Electric Car where they give me a quote. We are always bering told that Electric Cars are Cheaper to run and that Servicing them and charging them are cheaper than the equivalent Petrol and Diesel Cars. Well prepare to be shocked as I rEVeal the cost of servicing and also the cost to get my EV FULLY CHARGED! You'll also see on my journey how poor the EV Infrastructure is and how astronomically expensive it is if you are not charging at home. Also joining me on my journey is @GeoffBuysCars

Drive a Porsche and pay Porsche prices for everything, if you can afford to buy a Porsche you should be happy to be ripped off for everything to do with the ownership experience. This does all serve you right.
100% 😂
The only EV I ever owned was a Scalextric.... they would not stay on the track (
I had my ev services for £41 that included a coolant flush and tyre repair, porshe will always charge porshe prices but people don't need to pay that.
Lee I own a vw id3 and have had 2 bmw i3s and a Peugeot e208 and I can honestly say this id3 is going to be the last ev I shall change back to petrol in 3 years and never doing electric again because of the infrastructure and I agree the control aspect the government is out to price everyone out of driving in the end but give me a car with some soul and character not a silent computerised software laden piece of metal having a ev will not save any planet it’s all a con in my opinion keep telling the truth well done andy
Thanks Andy.
Imagine someone thinking a Porsche dealer won’t rip you off, even with an ev
When EVangelists say 'Ahh, but the battery has a 10yr warranty'. They really should check the small print.
They have a time and mileage clause. Usually up to 100k miles.
Porsche for example say it'll retain 80% of it's capacity up to 3yrs or 37500miles, 70% up to 8yrs or 100k miles. If it's deemed above that percentage, tough, you have to live with the reduced range etc.
Some, such as Tesla, reserve the right to 'replace your battery with a used/recon battery with a capacity suited to your vehicles age and mileage', and I think their cut off percentage is 60%.
I watched Geoff's channel yesterday so know what's going to happen. Funny vlog, won't spoil it for everyone one else
Replace washer fluid, replace brake fluid, check battery for dents, check tyre pressure ... 671 QUID.
🤣🤣🤣 Oh my sides !!!
Washer fluid! Doesn't that change itself?
Simple solution. Invite Morag down to Leeds for a free countryside lunch in her MG and then let her drive home. Let's see how well she goes.
Problem is, she'd probably manage it with no issues. Then what would that make Lee look like?
A proper plonker!😂
You actually think I hire actors to pretend to charge their cars and block the chargers. I'm guessing you're paid by the same people as Morag to counteract my reality. 😂 I must have the powers that be worried eh!
@@TheMacMaster How you got from , Morag would probably manage it with no issues...to.....I personally think that you actually hire actors etc is beyond me.🤔
I think you are seeing things that aren't there mate.
You probably need a rest, go on a holiday to get yourself relaxed, or perhaps try yoga? I hear it's very good for you.
Or even better, please have a really happy New Year with your family. 😘🥳🎉
The one thing that still amazes me, Is that they don't show the price of what you are putting in, On any other product you buy the price has to be clearly displayed, Trading standards or whatever they are called these days should enforce it,
That old Lionel Blair at the barbers shop joke comes to mind 😂
Great video. That Tesco charger just sums up the charging infrastructure. I'm an engineer and looking at it from that point of view, there are just too many weak points in the whole business of charging your car on a trip which just has too many unknown variables, even if planned. Also ridicules, the payment methods without knowing for sure straight away how much you are going to spend on charging. Just so wrong.
Got to laugh at the fella in the background in the hotel reception filling his pockets with tea and coffee
Another great vlog, Lee. I will be more than happy to stick with my 2.0 Diesel which gives me an easy 68mpg with NO range anxiety EVER!!!! Get it up you, all you EV zombies!
Except - the time may come when your diesel is forced off the road

@TheMacMaster I’m disabled and I thought having an ev would be ok but it’s not the case! Can’t charge at home need to use the public charging network so it works out more expensive having an ev car 3years are nearly up and I’m off back to diesel
Hi Lee.
I'm inclined to believe what you say about Politicians being a bunch of hypocrites with their extra large carbon footprints.
The phrase, "do as I say and not as I do" springs to mind
MacMaster , , ,everyone's pulling out,, vw ,,ford,,GM.motors,,,,,,,,,they will all pull out,,,happy days
About 26p a mile ,may aswell have a v8
Great video and I'm looking forward to the rest of this adventure, sounds interesting, you a Geoff spark well together. Can't get over the price of the car service, a monumental rip off and that's why they are really nice to you at the car dealership. I looked at my last service invoice and it was £185 which included actual work and not inspection of, oil change, filters change, break fluid change, washer fill up, new plugs, new wiper blades, parts and labour. Admittedly not Porsche but there you go.
Why are the insurance companies put up EV costs if according to MSM they are more ice fires than EV fires it make no sense or are we being lied to
My Rover 75 costs about £150 to service with an MOT…yes Lee, it is all about control.
Regarding weight, yes trucks cause damage to the roads, however it's not as bad as you might think. The tyres on most trucks are far larger and wider. The wheel size is 22", and the tyre is usually between 40" and 45" in diameter, with a tread width of 11" for heavy transport tyres, and there are 18 of those on heavy transport vehicles. The load is purposely spread over a much larger area. The main concern for trucks is that the infrastructure like bridges and freeways are designed appropriately for the weight of the traffic. When this is done correctly, the carriage of 1 ton passenger vehicles is really no issue. There's also the fact that heavy vehicle transport is part of our necessary infrastructure - if you own it, it probably came on a truck and you can't mess with that infrastructure without seriously affecting the supply of food, materials and household goods in the modern world.
Electric vehicles on the other hand have four narrow *and* low profile tyres on a 16" rim, and yet the weight of the vehicle is about 3 tons or more for an EV SUV. The push for longer range requires heavier batteries, which gives diminishing returns as heavier batteries require more energy to move them. There's also a hell of a lot more cars than there are trucks, so it makes sense that making cars two or three times the weight while limiting tyre size is going to have an effect on the roads. I also note that the reason your Taycan had trouble with barely visible trammel lines in the road is the nature of EV tyres and their complete inability to conform to irregularities in the road. This hints at yet another way in which EV tyres contribute to road damage on surfaces that are not perfectly flat.
Basically, trucks are a necessary evil. EVs are just EVil.
I've just done my own road trip here in Australia in my petrol Jimny. Distance was just under 1000 km (600 miles). I have both fuel receipts so I'm happy to do a breakdown of that if people are interested. (ie probably not LOL).
I just finished watching and that was a great episode, those ladies at the end were fantastic.
Great point about the new drivers and EV`s regarding the 0-60 times of them, accidents waiting to happen.
But they don't do much after 60 anyway
@@alivekicking6247 I was presumably imagining it when I looked at my dashboard and saw 93 then? This was without even trying, or being aware of it.
@moragkerr9577 haha yeah, easy not to notice when they make no noise and are so very dull and boring with no gear changes, no noise, and no involvement.
Doesn't surprise me at all. So, so, so booooooring.
What I am trying to say is that, compared to a proper petrol powered high-performance car, electric cars don't have much left after 60mph. Proper petrol powered, high-performance cars go on to much higher speeds than boredom inducing EVs.
Lee, you and Jeff are truly the Laurel & Hardy of TH-cam! You're so entertaining. You really expose the impracticality of EVs. Long may you continue to do so.
Massively underrated double act, keep liking and sharing so others can get to see them in the TH-cam algorithms ❤
Agree. The Lee & Geoff show is a breath of fresh air. They both bounce off each other so well - really entertaining 😁
You can tell that they really trigger the liberal communist elite types
Hey Lee ! I just watched a video here on TH-cam last night about the big 3 major manufacturers here in the USA on EV’s and Ford announced its shutting down its EV plant because nobody’s buying EV’s here. Video said they have close to 100 thousand brand new Ford EV vehicles across the USA sitting on dealership lots that aren’t selling and they’ve taken over 100 thousand dollars off the cost of their Ford lighting pickup and they still can’t sell it. GM is doing or has done the same and the head of GM has said they are going to hybrid ( electric/ gasoline) production and that the future is in hydrogen powered vehicles. A yr or two ago when Ford put out it’s electric pickup truck they put out all these numbers on mileage & towing capacity that everyone was praising until some guys here on TH-cam got one and put it up against a same sized GMC gasoline pickup , both towing the same size trailer & weight and the Ford pickup with 100% charge starting side by side with the gas powered GMC / Chevy pickup and the Ford only got I think 90 miles before it had to stop and turn around and go back to a charging point 10 miles in the opposite direction because it wouldn’t make it to the planed charging point they had mapped out by Fords mileage numbers on the route that both trucks were taking. This whole EV thing is a joke , about the only thing they are good for is running around the city or town you live in but for countries like mine ( USA ) the distances that we travel say my state New Jersey to Florida in a day ( 17-18 hrs and that’s around 1.118 miles ) in a EV it’ll take days. 😂😂
In the 70s when a teenager we were told Fusion electricity was 25 years away and would be too cheap to meter. How much has been spent round the World to produce the tiny amount of electricity so far.
I recently watched a video that showed it would cost $60,000 to replace a battery in a 2 year old Hyundai Ioniq that was $55,000 brand new !
And you believed it? Technically beyond economical repair so why would you bother. I suspect it is untrue.

(NB. of course it would be a warranty job, hence a reason to pay someone wo service the car - manufacturer / importer warranties are not an imaginary thing - in a country with something approaching "consumer rights", at least.)
- user robots like to doubt... (everything except their A! Mess!ah).
As a result of the first video there is now a second Hyundai user come forward with exactly the same problem and the same price to replace the main battery.
@@user-uq7zw7pj4s dont mean they had the work done
Doing the conversion to US Dollars, you spent $855 for your 40K service. That is more than double of the mortgage payment on my house. Thanks for "saving the planet."
Greetings from Wales.
You know those 3 sheep on that treadwheel thing you kept driving past? Well that's the charging point.
It's not that we have an 'infrastructure problem'.
We just do things a little different here...

Thank you for your enjoying and entertaining videos, not only about EV's virtues and constrains, but also for showing the rest of the world a bit of the UK life style, food, cities and the countryside on the 2020 decade.
Is there a youngster that can afford an EV in this country? I suppose if they give up hope of ever buying a house....

You are a great guy and I love all the videos you do good information and the real facts and figures of everything you vlog
Seems like every video you’re at a Porsche dealership. Does that car need that much service??
Legend has it that Morag is actually Quentin Willson from the Fully Charged Show 🤫
Hi Lee, I've been following you for a very long time now and always enjoy your points of view and content. As you brought up 'Morag' during this VLOG I was thinking that it would be excellent content if you and perhaps also Geoff Buys Cars were to throw out an open challenge to Morag. I think that the challenge should be that you supply your Porsche and Geoff brings one of his Petrol / Diesel vehicles. You then have Morag sit in your car reading a pre-planned route (supplied by you). Lets then see how Morag gets on trying to defend her 'sect' whilst actually seeing the daily issues of public charging on the journey. I think that it would be absolutely great content hearing her trying to defend the advantages of an EV vehicle. Please make it happen!!!
Apart from the fact it is an EV, what will increase the service costs are the fact that it is
a Porsche EV!
Servicing any EV is not as cheap as you would think, but the higher up the brand ladder you
go the more they charge for servicing and parts.
A lot of cars are sold on finance with the buyer struggling to afford the monthly payments.
Motto is, never buy a prestige brand, and ensure you budget for servicing and expensive tyres
that these cars eat unless you have deep pockets.
I absolutely agree, but I think we all know about prestige brand servicing just like if you put a petrol fiesta in for a service it wouldn’t cost as much as a service for a petrol 911 lol, what I feel the real takeaway from this is the fact that as well as the environmental sales pitch on EVs they also said less moving parts means longer service intervals AND cheaper servicing costs and although maybe a big petrol Porsche may indeed be even more to service the fact remains that for basically a brake flush and some screen wash it’s close to 700quid and petrol variants don’t cost that much for a brake flush at the dealers so there’s more than one con going on with EVs (personally I think deception is the only way to sell ANY EV at this precise moment in time) lol :)
A Model 3 Long Range costs 50,000 pounds. Stuffed if I know why you chose a Taycan…
My god we can do that service on our own old cars and no computers beep no warning letters or insurance denied for not keeping up a service also I do a service for my whole car once a year just to keep my car safe.
It's more expensive than my Service & MOT repairs including a retest, this is ridiculous
Hi...I have now subscribed to your website, I enjoy watching your vlogs, I admire your no nonsense approach to any of the subjects you vlog about, much appreciated, kind regards Sue & Ben (Woodhall Spa) .
$50.00 in parts and the rest is ??? A RIP OFF That's what it is.😮
That's just shear robbery. On my 3.8L V6 ICE 8 speed auto, for £25 per month service plan (£300 per year) I get MOT, Engine Oil/filter and Air filter, all other usual checks including lights, etc. Cabin pollen filter, brake fluid changed, trans oil check, spark plugs changed and engine coolant changed.

You mention giving people who have passed their tests powerful EV's? To be honest, from what I have seen, Tesla and large Audi EV drivers, seem to drive like they sole their cars, with no though for other road users. The number of times I see EV drivers doing dangerous undertaking, or overtaking in dangerous places because of the 'instant torque', is ridiculous. So, there are many more experienced drivers that need their driving (or attitudes) looked at, let alone someone new to driving!!

Just wait till the EVangelsts start getting charged 50p/kWh via their smart meter at home when they create a different rate for charging cars than the rest of the devices in your house!
So how will they do this for my solar array and battery storage that is used for charging my car
Trivial to circumvent. Next...
@@eddiereed5025 by charging you 15k for new batteries and replacement panels in the next 5-10yrs when they stop working or being efficient enough...

Do not under estimate the lengths MP's and other cretins will go to in order to strip ypu of wealth!
@@djtaylorutube How so? Elaborate...
@@johnshaw8013 Don't have a smart meter. I don't. Nor do I have a smart charger.
An incoming smart meter doesn't determine how the energy is used but the requirement for a new vehicle charger is that it must be "smart". (Apologies for the quotes, I dislike the word smart applied to anything digital).
In that scenario yes, you're absolutely spot on in that there's then an opportunity for charging separately based on energy for vehicle (which is why I don't have a smart charger).
In that case, the solutions are to use the granny charger (slow but works) where the vehicle just becomes another domestic appliance, or alternately, that "new tumble drier" needs a 32A commando socket installing, which is handy because that's what a car charger can also go into (if the right one is used).
Now, that's not to suggest that the rather large energy spike can't be assessed but heat pumps and other large energy consumers will also become part of the mix here.
It would be far simpler to just take the mileage at the MOT interval and tax per mile.
I'm under no illusion whatsoever that costs will change and given the most criminally corrupt, self serving government in a lifetime, nothing to our advtange will happen.
Superb. Those premier inn ladies are the type of receptionist you need.
In my younger days I bought a 2003 VW Passat that was basically an Audi A6 V8 with VW emblems on it. All services were FREE up until I hit the 100,000miles. That ended my warranty...and my next service that included the basics and oil change...came to $1000 USD! I traded my wonderful powerful VW/Audi for a 2003 Mustang...I could service it myself.
For a 2019 Cayenne S the dealer cost was 2,735 USD (2,147 UKP) for the 40K service What did you expect at the dealerships ?
I've paid less than that for my first 3 services and MOT on my EV. I can't see how that cost for one service can be justified other than it's a Porsche.
I’ve had an Ev 5 years and never had to pay for a service because it doesn’t need one.(please give me a thumbs up or down because I don’t think the Ice Zombies like constructive criticism and ignore it)

Porsche flat 6 all the way!😂
Quick calc - My Suzuki Swift can travel 517 miles on a full tank at (currently) £1.37 per litre (37 litre capacity) at a total of £50.69. For your charge price and if I had a 40 litre tank, the same cost would allow me to travel 559 miles which is 2.43 times more than yours. On filling, I would only spend between 5 and 10 minutes filling up to get back home. Yeah, EV's just don't cut it.
Now calculate costs for 10,000 miles per year of petrol. If an EV is only charged at home, which for some gives them up to 250 miles range, that could cost as low as £188 for that 10,000 miles
Alternate use case. Drive 1000 miles per week, 200 each day M-F.
Calculate costs. The EV comes in far cheaper, it's not even vaguely close.
Different use cases, different outcome but if public charging (particularly outside of Tesla) then an EV wouldn't be a sensible choice for anyone.
In answer to '@djtaylorutube' EVangelist?, let us take the calculations a little further...
EV: Based on Lee's 'Charge', that works out at 24p per mile and multiplied by 200k (the average EV life before a new battery is needed therefore the end of 'lifetime' of the car), that's going to cost £48k over this period of ownership - 'lifetime'. Taking an average price of an EV (not Lee's cost of his car, bless him), we're looking at an initial outlay of £50k so we have a 'lifetime' outlay including the 'drive' of £98k
Let us say 'Lee' managed to pay 'at home' pricing of, what is it currently, 3p per mile where/whenever he charges the car, (Yeah, right) for school runs and little drives to town only, that'd amount to £6k over the 'lifetime' so we can bring the above price down to a manageable £56k
Petrol: My Suzi Swift does 9.8p per mile and multiplied by 200k, that's going to cost me £19.6k over the 'lifetime'. My Suzi cost me 9K (back in 2014) so my 'lifetime' outlay including the 'drive' would be 28.6K which is already 50% cheaper than the above best-case-scenario.
OK, let us say that we have an 'average price' petrol car at £17k and keeping with the above 'current' price of petrol and an average price of say, 12p per mile (dropping the guzzlers and sippers) this now equates to £24k fuel, the total 'lifetime' ownership would cost £41k
Putting aside wear and tear, new tyres (pricy for EV), servicing costs (pricy for EV), time lost waiting to charge (EV vs Petrol), range anxiety (no issue for ICE), EV brag rights (not a thing for ICE), etc, personally, as would the logic above and, I'd assume, the majority of motorists, I would suggest that the ICE version of a vehicle is the better option. Diesel would also come out cheaper too.
Summing Up: If fusion comes to reality (yeah, right) and if free too (yeah, right) and if the EV manufacturers drop their prices by 50% (yeah right) we'd be on-par but I, as a Petrol Head, don't have to worry about my car going up in flames in the night too. Plus, I can enjoy the sound of an ICE
I rest my case :-)
@@djtaylorutube tell that to someone who has no ability to have a home charger ,what do those millions of people do ?
@@bigfist255 Simple answer right now, stick with ICE. I don't work in government or for an energy provider so don't direct policy for charging infrastructure provision, nor have any ability to influence it. The transition is a decade or two thing, expect change.
All i'm pointing out here is that everyone has different scenarios and if someone wanted to make biodiesel in their flat and drive 20,000 miles tax free per year, they're free to do so, just as home charging can have significant benefits where available.
However, just taking a single trip cost and multiplying that out doesn't represent the same cost experienced by everyone.
40k service on my Tesla was £0 🤣
The German government, you know, Bärbock, Habeck and Scholz... treat themselves to new sedans next year. BMW, Audi and Mercedes, of course. Now guess how many of them electric?
Right: zero, 0
I can’t believe they didn’t charge to change your blinker fluid……
My friend in Nottingham treated himself to an EV last year, Insurance is 4x the cost, EV tyres are 3x the cost, and he says its the equivalent of driving around with giant Haystacks and Big Daddy on the back seat. And then because the stopping distance is so poor they're making the limits 20 mph. Must treat myself sounds great!!
Which car?
Basford brings back my memories of when i used to live near the brewery.
Surely these Milk Floats must be shedding more tyre rubber, and extra toxic brake material from having to stop that extra weight, that doesn't sound very Green to me.
EVs don’t use brakes to stop - 15k service in my EV - 5% wear on brake pads
No. EV tyre wear is about the same as in an ICE car. EV brake shoes seldom wear out because EVs use regenerative "braking" to slow and stop, not the actual brakes. EV drivers are advised to remember to use their brake pedal occasionally to stop the discs rusting up through lack of use.

Your comments regarding weight worn roads. I'm a retired exHGV driver, I can tell you there are a number of sections of road I know of that have been worn in the manner you describe by lorries. One near Dartford it is actually possible to take your hands off and the vehicle will steer itself!
Hey, I plug my car in and get a full tank and therefor full range every time. Let me know when you can get 500 miles range from a car weighing 1635k and I'll go electric, eh.
Good to see the long journey videos back ( made longer by using a Duracell battery with wheels)
When you started charging you had 16% battery with 43 miles range. You charged to 100% and then had 230 miles range
The charge of 84% at a cost of £54.54 gave you 187 miles of range - 3.43 miles per £.
Less economcal than my V6 3 litre petrol SQ5 and, with respect to your Porche, which I'm sure is a very nice and well equipped car, I know which I'd rather have.
The Taycan is about the thirstiest EV around. It's a high-performance car and can only achieve around 2 miles per kWh at motorway speeds. The 230 miles for 100% is a computer estimate based on the last motorway trip and assumes that the driver will carry on driving at motorway speeds for another 230 miles. At around 28p per mile that's normal for a petrol performance car too. Some EVs will easily do 5 miles per kWh so are 2.5 times more economical.

Back in the 70's and 80's people drove around in tiny little things like minis and rover 2 seater sports cars. Then in the 90's everyone wanted a great big 4x4 Toyota land cruiser or mitsubishi shogun. Cars got bigger and heavier throughout the naughties as they were beefed up with side impact protection bars and the like. Very few people seemed worried back then that cars were getting heavier. Its funny how the weight is another thing people are suddenly so worried about.
Windscreen Cleaner - top up. Replace - Dust and Pollen Filter. Replace - Brake Fluid. Check - Battery Compartment. How much is a small bottle of brake fluid ? 6 pounds maybe. How much for a new pollen filter? 35 to 50 pounds maybe. How much for windscreen cleaner? 1.99. I'm guessing parts total is around 60 pounds, labour and inspection is 610 pounds.
Buy a Porsche pay Porsche prices. Goes with the territory
The biggest cost of ownership of any vehicle is depreciation. Therefore it's more important to find a brand or model of cars with the least depreciation.. Toyota Prius comes to mind if you want to save on fuel as well as depreciation.
Why do you not carry an extension for the lead in your boot. Unless its not allowed?

Love the road trips, here's one you may be interested in...
Here is my challenge, visit all of the seven “clean air zones” starting in Bristol and ending in Newcastle-upon-Tyne approx 500 miles.
Lee has a free choice of route but Geoff in his dirty diesel has to go through the city centre to get his value for money from the “charge”. This is a cost/time comparison.
Enjoy both Channels.
Good Luck.
I have suggested Geoff buys a smaller car which will A) be less comfortable B) most likely have a smaller fuel tank C) be petrol. If he gets a ULEZ exempt one that could be interesting. If he had a smaller car his advantages would be smaller economical engine, lightweight and fun handling. His drawbacks would however be the engine if non turbo would require more work to get it to or maintain 70mph on a fast road and up hills, smaller capacity fuel tank and there are less comforts in a smaller car like cruise control unless it was a high spec car.
44:02 welcome to my hometown Lee. 58:14 just a 1/4 mile from my house that’s the Gorleston relief road. Nice vlog as ever but expensive charging there at Gapton Hall goodness me. It’s also a very busy out of town shopping area.
Lee, Germany has ended EV subsidies today!
EVs are just a stop gap, until another car power unit arrives.
Stilton cheese originally came from a place of the same name that is now in Cambridgeshire, it is now only recognised if it comes from Derbyshire, leicestershire and Nottinghamshire.
I posted on Geoff’s channel when he mentioned the cost of that service, bonkers pricing. The same service in my Hyundai Ioniq, filters and brake fluid change and a visual check……. was £166. #porscheripoff
My Clio 1.5 DCi cost £65 to fill and you get 575miles 😂
not comfortable for long distance, high speed though is it. fab around town
Great entertaining videos as usual. But for sake of balance how much would a 40k mile service be on a ‘standard’ 911?
Probably more. They have a price list up on their website
excellent i know who wins but it will still be fun to watch
Does the machine tell you the volts and amps too?
There is a company in British Columbia called Edison Motors.
They are building diesel/ electric hybrid trucks.
That seems to be a much more sensible approach than full electric.
It's been proven with locomotives for several decades.
...and some ships!
The price for servicing seems to be slightly less than for a petrol or diesel Porsche of the same age and mileage. My guess is the difference in price reflects the fact that you don't need to replace the oil but you still have things like pollen filters and brake fluid to replace 🤷♂️
Is that right? I have no idea but it wouldn't surprise me at all... Amazing how you can spin something completely round for clicks/money on a youtube video. And pretty depressing if true and people are rewarded for basically lying.
Another great video sir,just thought I'd mention that the furthest point west on mainland UK is Ardnamurchan on the N/W coast of Scotland.
Stilton cheeses can only be made at six specific dairies located the counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, the village of Stilton gave the cheese its name but cannot be produced there as its situated in Cambridgeshire.
It makes me laugh every time you say ‘should of got a Tesla’ it doesn’t matter how much better a Tesla may be they could give them away free and I’d still rather have the Taycan! At least it’s a car that still has a little bit of character 🤙🏻
"All EVs are ugly".
Repeat after Lee, "All EVs are ugly".
Controversial!😂😂
I'm glad Lee can handle his haters, I can't handle mine.. sending support 👍❤️
Send some support to Morag as well, because she's probably got more haters than Lee?
@@DwaynePipes oh ok x
Your attempt to charge the milk float made me laugh! All that faffing around to connect, press the right part of the touchscreen etc took longer than it used to take me to remove the filler cap, insert the pump nozzle and put 50 litres of diesel into my 2009 Dacia Logan MCV! Also I didn't have to present my card for the equivalent of £25 to be taken before the pump would start. There was only one pump I ever used at a totally unmanned filling point where you had to insert your card, select the value of fuel you wanted, fill up and the pump stopped automatically at the set value of fuel and issued a receipt.
It's hilarious, isn't it. Now imagine Lee in an ICE car, driving up to a petrol station. He goes to the wrong side of the pump, and he parks too far out from the pump. He struggles with the hose, and can't get the nozzle into the filler hole. This is all the fault of the car, nothing to do with Lee. Finally, after struggling for several minutes, he gets the nozzle in. Then he has to stand and hold it at an awkward angle so that petrol splashes out and and gets all over his trousers and shoes.
He also can't get the pay-at-pump to work because he presses the buttons in the wrong order and he's using an expired card. This all takes about three times as long as it would take the rest of us to fill up. And of course this proves that petrol cars are not fit for purpose.
That is exactly the scam Lee is pulling. The rest of us drive up to the charger, show it our card, plug in, and walk away (or we plug in, then show it our card - the instructions are on the charger). Lee does everything in the wrong order, in the most inefficient way possible, then blames the car. But you are all falling for it.
great video 🙂
battery tax is coming soon so even less reason to rent an ev. nobody can afford to buy a new one with such high depreciation
Explain more - it's something I always expected to happen but I'm interested if it's a thing.
I think the cost to the planet is more important with these EV's.They need to do 100 thousand miles before their carbon neutral. I just can't see them lasting that long, and how much it would cost if they actually could?
NP - you just keep burning fossil fuel then. But how do you square that circle that you are so concerned about?
@@Hitstirrer With 1.4 billion vehicles already on the road in the world bio fuels has to be considered
Never mind the cost to planet what about the cost of lives Hundreds of thousands of poor Congolese people, including tens of thousands of children, are digging cobalt out of ground in extremely hazardous conditions for barely a dollar or two per day. They suffer shattered bones, toxic contamination, and are buried alive in tunnel collapses.
Oh for god's sake - Stop this bloody futile EV vs ICE bickering - focus on the FACT that EV's are all about removing the freedom of choice to travel for the masses. Remember if it has OTA upgrade capability it can be totally controlled remotely. Lockdown 2.0 anyone?
I think the insurance companies will be deciding which vehicles a new licensee should be driving.
Fast accelerating electric cars have higher insurance codes which would result in high premiums for younger/inexperienced drivers.
