Just want to add the Zoe is loving its life here, Thanks Andy you are an honest seller and I would not hesitate to buy another car from you!
As a Yorkshire man, I'm disappointed you didn't get an e up.
EVM as a Yorkshireman, sees value above faux prestige of a badge 😎
E up.....I see what you did there.......😅👍
You seem to be getting a lot of negative and EV hate comments. I don't understand why people feel the need to do this as if they want to be proven correct they can just keep on reading the Sun and wait and see after a few years. Stay positive young man and don't rise to it.
The good news(?) is, I've not seen a single one so far - unlike on any of those videos bleating on about the Luton car park fire that was caused by a diesel - the hoops some haters are trying to jump through to pretend "it woz an EV wot dun it" are truly baffling.
As an existing 2021 Mii owner I knew where you were going from about 30 seconds in....great choice this car is a gem!
We purchased our 2021 pre-registered Mii in September 2021, 8 miles on the clock when collected from Carlisle (we're 9 miles east of Manchester), paid £17k. 14 months later in November 2022, and with a new Citroën Ami on the drive, the Mii had just 3.5k miles on the clock and was sold via carwow to a dealer in York for £17.6k. Regretted the sale soon after but hey, ho! The Mii appeared on AutoTrader soon after for around £21k, slowly the price dropped, it remained unsold, the mileage never changed. In April 2023 it had dropped to £15k so we bought it back. The price of Miis have continued to drop but we've no regrets; the Ami has now been moved on, and with approximately 6k miles now on the clock, the Mii is a keeper.
You could probably get a Dacia Spring for that sort of money. But congratulations on the MII. They're brilliant. if I can give you some advice make sure the battery management software has the latest version (2730) because there were issues with the older software that can kill one or several battery modules. There wasn't a recall on it so I suggest you contact your dealer. The lane assist will probably drive you mad, but it's possible to recode the front camera so that it remembers the last setting. Same with the air con that always sets to 22 degrees. Simple fix with a diagnosis tool.
@justinholding02 how would I check if my car is on that version? Or does a service centre have to plug in to check that? Also, any way to identify a dead cell? Does the car display anything that would suggest there is an issue?
@@cannygrowabeard if you send me the VIN I can check for you
I’ve a Skoda Citigo e IV that I’ve had from new 2020 and have found the economy fantastic,I’ve looked at changing the car recently,I’ve test drove a Vauxhall Mokka e also a Kia e Niro but find neither of them seem to have the driving dynamics of my little Skoda and I’m sure would not match the efficiency of the Skoda so I’ve decided to keep the car until Skoda brings out a new small SUV electric car
We bought a rapid charge Zoe ZE50 (3 years old) for around £12k, and it had just over 10k miles. It's making a great little run around for my Daughter's first car.
Battery lease?
@@markthomasson5077 nope we own the battery and it has 100% original range. Just got to keep an eye on the adverts, prices drop when the lease car companies dump their end of lease stock on the second hand market.
@@markthomasson5077there is no battery lease on the ZE50s
@@markthomasson5077 No we own the battery, just got to keep an eye on the market. Lease companies dump stock at regular itervals and that depresses prices for a week or two.
Well Done and it is interesting to see a small car as an EV. They do seem to get forgotten!
Even the year old EV6 I almost bought this week was reasonably affordable. Wasn't cost what put me off, just wasn't blown away with the car like i thought i would be. Stayed plug-in, it suits our needs & lifestyle better, got a 6 month old Sportage instead.
Hope it's as good as the Niro plug-in we've had this past 5 years, best car we've ever owned, faultless in every way & lost 9k at trade in (we did buy incredibly well).
EVM, I'm not surprised at the struggle you're having. RSEV the Tesla retailer, said a few weeks back that used EV sales last August were up 68% over the same period last year........they almost ran out of used stock at one point. The Seat Mii looks like a shrewd buy.....and at that level of efficiency, why would you even consider using public transport for a town or city commute? This really is 1p per mile motoring..... As you mentioned in the video, I'd also noticed EV prices and residuals firming up again.......
Fab video , great challenge , proved a valuable point be patient shop around and u can buy a full electric car still under manufactures warranty 👍
3:52 Digital mis-pricing
My wife had this situation some years ago. We travelled 30 miles to a Main dealer after I'd done the research for the car she wanted. Had the test drive, but could understand why it was so much cheaper than any on the market, then the Salesman presented his price. Not the advertised price!! He then passes it over to his boss,
I would have been heavy on this, but my wife said "I want to buy it, you want to sell it, lets come to an agreement". They did😀
They revealed that all 11 cars they'd purchased from the company had been mis-priced. They'd forgotten to add the VAT!!
I have just done a similar thing - I was looking at the 3x VAG "E-Up" variants and the Zoe. I watched Autotrader for about 6 weeks during which I pinned down my requirement a bit and then I found about 6 examples in the same Renault dealership so I left a deposit and booked a train ticket. I had decided the Mii was the best value car at the £10-12k mark but the extra range of the Zoe tipped the balance. They have gone up a bit since I bought but are still great value - both models.
I had guesssed the UP/Mii/CitiGo they are around that price mark well the non VW ones are anyway. Great buy, i am guessing as you asked for “Yorkshire discount” £10.2k
Have had our Mii for 22 days and loving it. Best we've had is 6.3m kwh but that was on dual carriageway so around town could be better. Have swapped to Octopus and used your code so you should get another £50 in the next few weeks. As of earlier today there's only 17 Mii electrics on Autotrader....us on FB group seem to be snapping them up. 😁😎
We have just had to hand our Seat Mii lease car back. Loved it. Decent range and I agree, economical. Even we had no bother getting 5.5 miles per Kilowatt hours in decent weather or 3.5 in winter. It did not like rapid charging though, only the old chargers would work, anything with decent charge rate was a huge nope as the charger people haven't programmed Seat Mii's into their chargers (apparently, I tried to sort for 2 years, even got the car checked at a main dealer). Other than that solitary quirk, car was simply amazing
Our Zoe 52 goes back next March, seriously considering one of these. Great to see how you get on!
We bought a 3 year old mini ev3 a couple of months ago for £21000 and it’s brilliant still does the range as new and it had over 21000 miles on it when we bought it. Cheap to run on Octopus tariff and used for every short journey. Sadly we had a “don’t drive!” Error two weeks ago and mini are still scratching their heads as to what’s gone wrong, I think the BMS is fecked personally and they’re trying to find a cheap fix. I managed to grab it within minutes of it going on their web site and they had numerous people ring up about it when we went to test drive it and the day we collected it as we were going over the handover someone came up to the salesman to see if they could buy it! Don’t tell me the ev market is dead, the second hand one just isn’t. We are stuck with a 72 plate BMW i3 until they fix our mini it’s bloody awful
Not sure what is going on with values as I bought a 2020 VW eGolf with 7k miles on it for 16k 5 months ago which I thought it was a good price, but on the insurance renewal they value it at 12k
Had one of these in my sights for a while to replace our petrol Citigo. Every time the money is there, something bites us in the ass. (latest, ID.4 broken into....) so it hasn't happened yet. You have underlined what a good buy these are now.
I went to buy a used kona. The price was cheaper than any other around. I said yes to it but when I got to garage the price was wrong. Not £16666 but £19999. The price on the car was at £16666. I wasted 3 hrs of driving to see it. I did query the price before I left and was told £16666 was the price.
Excellent, looking forward to the next video.
After watching the last video I got a Nissan leaf, an old 2014 one with 12 bars. It was £6500 from a proper business (not going to risk it with our 1st EV that we know nothing about) and we needed one urgently due to ULEZ. It's our second car, the diesel still being our travelling around the UK car whilst the EV is for all the journeys of 60 miles return. Saved us a bit already (along with the ULEZ charges we would have had to pay). It will be interesting to see what is available in 3 years' time.
May I ask what milage it has?
@@ljb9983 It was 60,000 miles. My 1st concern when looking was the battery condition and after that the age. Since it was ULEZ and our diesel did not comply we had to buy a car quickish. Most of the Nissan Leafs I saw were cheaper but had anything from 6 bars. I don't think it's a new battery as a lot of paperwork was included from the previous owner and there were yearly battery checks that showed it was always good.. I just think the battery had never been pushed. We got the EV because in London petrol cars had gone up (due to the huge demand for complient cars) and since my partner is auto only the prices were comparable as they were asking silly money. The petrol cars were often 100,000 miles plus or 2006 onwards.
@@mrfoameruk You've got a bit to go to catch the Leaf on the taxi rank in my local town. That has around 170'000 miles on it.....
@@mrfoameruk Thanks that is interesting about how well the battery can last!
@@ljb9983 it's 24kwh and a full charge is about 90 mile. I only charge to 80% which is just over 70 miles. I do 5 miles to the kwh and my british gas nighttime ev tariff is 10p/kwh. so I pay 2p per mile. I did get it to 70mph for a while a few days ago and the mileage seemed to drop by 25%. otherwise, anything below 50mph seems to get the 5 miles to the kw.
I guess the battery is good because it was maybe only charged to 80% at home and only did light work (so the battery never got hot which seems to be the killer) as it was apparently a woman driver so guessing dropping the kids off and Tesco's.
Just seen one on Auto trader with almost identical numberplate, probably registered at same time for nearly £11.5k. I had a petrol UP that, despite being 75bhp was gutless, but I did like the car. The Mii looks good and is a perfect size for me and my nearest Seat dealership is conveniently close. The Mii does look like a bargain!
Out of interest, did you calculate the miles / KWh as well, or just take the car's word for it? I'm really anal about the mpg of my dear old Prius (2006 - but really on it's last legs - will be going 'lectric in the new year), so I always calculate my mpg myself, and mentally compare it to the readout on the car.
Hi. After watching your video, I went online and looked for the same. A 2 year old car for £10000>. I found one that's the same as what you bought, Seat Mii in black, 21 reg 7400 miles for £9000. Its a private seller and very local to me (Hyde, Cheshire). I did take a screen shot of it if interested. I have leased a VW e-up! before and really loved the vehicle. Only fault I found was, when I tried charging on CCS, it sometimes didn't recognise the car. Anyway great videos 😊
That’s a Cat S repair.
@ElectricVehicleMan I notices that after I wrote the comment 😔 sorry
If you took it to 3 years and @£10000, then there is one for £9989. That's a Smart Fortwo, 20 reg 22000 miles and it's in Harrogate, and it's not a CAT S either.
Another Challenge. The lowest priced V2H or V2L?
Andy,do you think your lovely wife would be seen dead in that dreadful seat mii?the mini is the cool dude...must be the Yorkshire in you.😂 great channel btw.cheers.
I had my money on a MX30. Overpriced when new and overlooked when used. Congrats on your purchase at such a stunning price.
Question: Exactly how long did it take you from starting to look to the actual purchase?
I picked up a used 1 year old MX-30 top spec for 22k, down from 36.5k when new. Very overlooked car for city people!
Well done landing that. When you said “next video” I was screaming “you sh!t”.
It was a forgone conclusion you got one of these, I remember your first review of this and the Up, you seemed dead set to own one.
just bought one as well !, albeit a 2020 year one, amazingly efficent and I love it! you do have to 'tweak' them to charge at 7kW, which really should have been factory setting, but was easy enough. other tweaks recommended is Climate system to remember last setting (default is 22 degress) and if it bothers you default Lane keep assist to off. Literally the only downside to these cars is the relatively slow Rapid capability......35-40kW but for the size of battery and minimal chance of needing a rapid for our use case... it's just about perfect !
hI Can you tell me how to tweak it, please? lane keep assist is driving me crazy, :-)
I’ve been trying since August. Seat say the app is awaiting an update!
@@ElectricVehicleMan app was working for me when we bought it last month , but stopped working a week or so ago along with loads of other people, but app access is not what’s needed for the tweaks, OBDEleven is third party and will tweak the car , 7kW tweak is worth it alone !
Someone tell me how good the heater is, being a smaller battery. I need a car with a good heater .how much does it deplete the range, as I take blood thinners
@@darrenhenderson5355 It took them a month to get the eSIM working.
OBD is my next try I guess!
Mine is white !. good car. Let me know your opinion about the brakes when going in "D"
I went 200 miles to collect my e up. Might have got within 20 miles but stopped with 110 to go to be safe. Round town it will do 8 miles per kwh. Motorway about half that. Surprised plenty of people at traffic lights so that’s fun.
Pretty sure ULEZ expansion has been driving demand as i was trying to buy an ioniq 38kwh at auction and they were going at over £1k over CAP. Madness!!
Noticed the same that used prices had bottomed out but more recently think there might be another drop due to addition Onto cars hiting the market.
Weirdly enough, there's a 21 plate Mii on Auto Trader for £9000 right now. I thought it was yours at first till I checked the reg. Though it's all well and good getting a cheap electric car and having a garage to charge it up, I don't. I live in a quaint Yorkshire village on a steep hillside and can only park on the road opposite my house. So an electric car is out of the question, particularly as the charging infrastructure just isn't there, and knowing our government, probably won't be for a number of years yet.
I'll stick to my diesel Juke for now thanks very much..........
That’s a Cat S car. Also 2 1/2 years old.
I live in a quaint yorkshire village, I just happen to have a driveway to use.
I wouldn’t get this without it, I’ve never said anyone should.
I believe Pod Point can install chargers on street lamps, if you have those in your village (I know some don't - generally the smaller, quainter ones). Obvs. it becomes a point that anyone can use, so you're not guaranteed access to it... but might be worth asking?
😱😱 Talk about a cliff hanger
Love the cliffhangers!
Me too. 😴 💤💤
Great video. Your wife is a saint! £12k seems to be the sweet spot for a decent choice of cheaper EVs at the moment. £10k hopefully next year.
Ive seen used corsa-e`s for 11 000 on autrotrader, 2 years old, registered in desember 2021. More range and features, well worth the 1000 more.
Those were CatS repairs.
Cheapest is £12.5k on AT right now with 36k miles.
Interesting that the Zoe is coming to live where i live ( Isle Of Man) will have to look out for it .
I had the original E-up! With the smaller battery. Would often see 6/7 kWh /mile in perfect weather.
It's only ahilles heel was winter as the heater they fitted was very poor and no thermal battery management. Would drop to 2 kWh mile, which left not a lot of range with the 16kWh usable battery.
Not sure if the newer 38kWh gained any of the egolf goodness.
Loved the car though until I needed something with longer range.
kWh ...
@@MrAdopado changed just for you. :)
Thought was going to be a mii after about 1min, because I was looking for mine around the same time you filmed this, ended up paying £10,900 for my blue mii on the August bank holiday weekend. Would be good to see a comparison off the mark against your Tesla, seen one video where the mii beats it to about 40mph.
You didn’t buy yours from East Lancs did you?! I considered the Mii but find spec bit stingy.
@@alexdalgleish1061 North Manchester, the only things I miss are steering wheel controls and a heat pump
Why do EV haters watch a channel called Electric Vehicle Man. 🤔
Because they get a buzz from venting their spleen. Plus they like to keep their hand in, otherwise they lose the knack.
@@Brian-om2hhif they don't like them then just don't buy one knowone is forcing them to have a EV
To troll
e-golf is an excellent cheap and first electric car. Fun comfortable and well, its a golf.
I don't get why this is no longer available, just like the e-up, or cars like the C-zero, the twingo . That whole segment was the sweet spot on so many level but now only the fiat 500 survives and we call a small EV the likes of the corsa, the e208 or even the id3, cars way bigger than necessary. It's a trend we can see on ICE cars as well, all of those had gas version that a have disappeared only the Aygo, the i10 or the picanto remain
Agree with you. Many new EVs are massive. Small hatchbacks aren't just for running around cities. Many of us use them for commuting between cities as we need something small to park at our destination.
its the capitalism, car makers dont "make enough money" on small models so they are deliberately not offering them to focus on profits, enjoy
Great second car!
I protest this cliff hanger.
my first EV, a 2yr old nissan leaf in 2016 cost £10K had it for 7 yrs
Are used prices appearing to go up because there is a shortage of 2-3 year old cars due to COVID & supply chain shortages?
and there are no small ev's since 2021 e-up, skoda was only 2020 just as mii, so they are super efficient, small segment that most sells in europe and new small cars are only coming in 2025 (vw, tesla)
Interesting report on this weeks episode of BBC Click (available iPlayer) on Bentley's decision to go fully battery electric by 2030 as well as the challenges and impact of mining Lithium in the US to meet growing demand.
You should make this a swap series where you gradually trade up until you end up with a McMurtry Spierling.
I drive an eUp and get grumpy if it drops below 5 m/Kw. And my weekly mileage is 135 miles, that includes 106 miles a week on the motorway. Go figure!! The highest mileage/ Kw I’ve seen a a (very short) journey was 10.9!!!!!
I get about 10 on my MG4 from my house to the lowest point of the Mersey Tunnel :D But that's only because it's downhill all the way.... The climb back out of the tunnel drops it back to 4.something...
I don't know about car import laws in Europe but there might be some savings on electric cars that were built as compliance cars like the Chevrolet spark
In the UK that'd be no use as we're a RHD market. Mainland Europe might be different.
Hope you don't have an reason to return the vehicle to car shop as they don't have a great reputation. Margins are small so after sales which costs money is like pulling teeth. Interested to see the next video in the series.
It’s mad the price of some EV’s advertised are say £34k and then you find out the dealers saying there is a 40-50% off the sticker price. Right lessons learned Yorkshire men rub their ears when thinking about spending money.
Have seen seat Mii electric on for less than £10k. It was light blue.
2 years old?
@@ElectricVehicleMan Yes 21 plate. Was only on Autotrader for one day. But obviously was after you recorded this in August. So technically it was over 2 years old as we were in 73 plate cars by then.
They do indeed seem a bargain. If you're getting 6 miles per kwh, then isn't that c190+ miles to a full charge? I thought the Mii got about 150. What's the real world experience? Asking as I might be tempted for one.
I can attest to my eUp routinely returning high 190’s on a full charge on a mix of motorway, dual carriageway and urban roads. But, I do drive everywhere in eco+ mode - a poor statement of traffic flow on our national arterial system I expect.
Plus it’s a legal requirement you make the Jeff Jetson car noise on every journey!!!!!😂
@@helipeek2736It's good to know. I was put off looking at them by the relatively small battery size, but if people are getting 180/190 out of a full charge due to the efficiency of the car, then it might be worth a peep. Esp as the Mii seems very well priced nearly-new.
Just send me a link , would love an electric car with bigger than 20kwh battery leaf.
Who else thought he was sacrificing his wife so he could get the car?
All major cities excluding or making gas cars pay a day rate. Hence the small electric ev’s go quick. If the cities did not do that no one would want an ev.
What worries me is - in the greed to make more tax revenue from more vehicles in future, today’s exempt EV’s are tomorrow’s potential cash cows. Look at Central London come October 2025 - all EV’s will have to pay the congestion charge too!!! Rinse and repeat across the country. Our U.K. authorities have become quite adept at moving the goalposts to suit their unbridled greed….🤨
@@datathunderstormthe Euro 5 diesel cars got really stung. I have 2 and planned on keeping them forever. Now I'm questioning if I will be able to drive them anywhere in the next few years. I've had a few euro 6 cars never owed one and they have had loads of add blue problems. Definitely wish I hadn't bought them but almost 16 years ago who would have known.
@@datathunderstorm I did not know ev’s will pay congestion charge. How can they do that as ev’s do not emit co2? What’s the justification?

Can I buy it, would save me me a lot of time 😂
I got it right. Wasn’t a vw and marque too dear
We sold our Leaf three years old. Mint. £10,000. 25,000 on the clock.
Someone got a bargain there. Do you mean trade in though ?
I sold it too cheap.
if a dealer is selling them for 10k you should be able to buy private for around 8k
Be sure to zero your miles per wattage for your accurate consumption.
should have just drove down then let EVK drive it back bet she could. heheheh
but how much can you sell it for ????? what's the price target going to be
Have I missed the follow up video?
No. Had a puncture that ruined filming so it’s delayed.
I've found the advertised price at 20,134 miles. But I'm staying schtum
it will get alot easier very soon...
Have you seen that the sun have an article based on your Zoe video but the title is misleading. Worth tackling them about it??
One on there today for £9k so maybe a little more...?
That’s Cat S.
Skip to 11:00 for the reveal
I may be cynical but are the cars really there or have they been sold before they are on the market. Ie a lure to get you into the showroom then try and sell you something that does exist ?
I bought it over the phone.
I've bought from Carshop before and have to admit to being very cynical however we had a really good experience. Just don't expect to haggle (apart from maybe over the value of a part ex). Best I could tell all the cars they said they had did exist.
I thought, by law, if something is advertised at a specific price, then the seller is OBLIGED to honour that price? I'm not categorically certain of that however. Otherwise it could constitute a classic "bait & switch", which IS an offence under UK law.
It's an invitation to treat. If it's a mistake they can't be held to that price, but if it was a known tactic by an unscrupulous seller trading standard would take a look.
Advertisements are not offers from the garage. Yep, the price is an invitation to treat. The purchaser makes the offer, the shop can accept or reject that offer.
BYD SEAGULL
I know if you go into a supermarket and if they have priced up a can of baked beans wrongly below the normal price they are legally obliged to sell you that can of beans at the sticker price. I wonder if the UK law also applies to cars at car dealers? It might.........
It did a few years ago. I bought a Nissan X Trail for the price shown on the car windscreen, which was £2k less than the dealer's other records.
It’s not law, nobody has to sell you anything at any price they can just withdraw it from sale, however on a customer relations point of view its not worth getting the bad press unless its a major mis-pricing. If however they put the wrong price up and take your money for the full asking price then they cannot go back on it and ask for the correct price it should have been. My mate bought a bike online at several hundred pounds off the list price (pre Brexit) as the conversion had been done wrong way around he paid in full then they tried to cancel out once they realised their error he refused to back down and the give in. Legally they could have returned his money and said the bike is mo longer for sale but probably realised not worth the bad press he would have generated.
It's an invitation to treat. If it's a mistake they can't be held to that price, but if it was a known tactic by an unscrupulous seller trading standard would take a look.
@@leejonesNPT " Legally they could have returned his money and said the bike is mo longer for sale " I don't think that is right. Once you have paid the contract is complete and you own the car. They cannot take back a car that is not legally theirs anymore.
Not good practice but it's only law once you've entered into a contract of sale ( i.e paid for it ) otherwise it's an " offer" . Trading standards might have something to say if the business continued to show lower prices than charged on more than one item or on a regular basis .
I thought if a company lists a price publicly it has to honour it regardless if it was a mistake?
No it’s advertising the price. You then say you’ll take it, and at that point they can accept or refuse. Just how the law works.

The way insurance costs for EVs are escalating (up 72% over the past 12 months according to this morning's BBC1 news 11-10-23) the insurance will cost more than the car in a couple of years!
I just had a set of quotes for my 2021 Model 3 £590 for fully comp (with full ncd protected) , last year it was £500 with a Swansea post code so hardly gone up compared to what some reports say and probably on par with a ICE BMW/MB etc
My Puma ST insurance cost me £5 more this year.
brown car guy just did a video with an insurance expert who said very little is to do with EV's. It's all about spare parts, pandemic, insurance companies investing in properties, losing money last year and trying to recuperate it now. All car insurance will be going up whatever car you have. The video is well worth a watch.
@kevinmills5293 The point was my EV insurance had not gone up by the amount the previous poster reported he had seen on BBC news. I doubt that the £5 increase of your insurance was relevant without disclosing the total amount. If it's already expensive £5 extra is irrelevant either way. My neighbours have a Puma ST each they are both younger than me but spend considerably more on their insurance. All newer cars have more sensors, extras, air bags etc than they ever have costs to repair will go up for all vehicles. Those that can show they avoid collisions will start to eventually come down.
"According to the BBC". Ah yes, the BBC. Now where do we start.....er no, perhaps not.
Get one of those ridiculous 💩 Boxes cheaper if you wait a week, they're losing their value faster than you're losing your hair 😜
They’ve actually gone up since I bought it.
Breaking news! All those shagged out Chav chariots (BMW) have given up trying to race Teslas . UK motorways owned! Job done. RIP bmw 😮
Impressive. in 2013 I bought brand new Seat Mii 999cc petrol for £8500.
For goodness sake EV man how can you not find one? On Facebook marketplace there’s multiple 2023 Model s Plaids for 1800 quid!
Zoe is a mobility scooter with heating

Yes you can, for a Tesla Y whose insurance this summer has gone from £ 1200 to £5000 with John Lewis, according to the Guardian! Yours for a song, presently can be viewed at Stanstead car park! There you are, Tesla lovers.
I can hardly hear him 😢
Stop ruining your hearing with ear buds.
I love my EV but feel that I’m loosing the argument against ICE
It’s such a shame that the EV market is dead.
Tell Tesla that
RSEV, one of the UK's largest Tesla retailers published their sales figures for August this year. They were 68% up on the same period last year. Richard, the head man, said they almost ran out of used EV stock at one point. What on earth gives you the idea the EV market is dead?
Volumes reduced by 10.9% year on year in September to 74,073 vehicles, while sales of Tesla’s Model Y and 3s were down 12% from August. That is from the institute of fiscal motoring.
There are currently big discounts being offered across the range because they can’t shift them
You state an increase of Tesla sales off. 68%, that’s not even believable and if it were it would be even more off putting as the network struggled before the 68% yearly increase of yearly Teslas sales added
For anyone outside the UK/US medieval measurements bubble, 6.5 miles per kilowatt hour is about 9.7 kwh per 100km. If I have my sums right. That’s pretty amazing. I can see why these things sold out as soon as they were announced. Great video and loved the cliff hangers.
.......surely you know that distance should be measured in miles.....what else IS there.......!!!?

The problem with EVs is they're a bit like I-Phones, the technology is moving so quickly that an old 100mile per charge, 50KW charge speed EV will be like owning an I-Phone 1 or an Android. Solid state batteries are coming.
