The all things EV chat thread

[road2ruin]

@road2ruin You may have looked and dismissed it but Kia are advertising their EV6 a lot on tv at the moment and it looks a pretty car to be in with a very respectably range. Perhaps worth a look?

That's a good call actually, not sure why it didn't make the list as it does tick a lot of the boxes and I will have a look at it. Thanks for pointing that one out.

 

[road2ruin]

skoda for me

if you could push it the telsa model y coming next year

I do like the Tesla but give the size of car that we're aiming for when I've had a look at the potential costs it just pushes it out of budget a lot of the time.

The bloke who bought our caravan at the weekend says he has a Tesla, but he won't be using for towing. He reckons that although it's advertised as having a range of 400+ miles, he's lucky to get much more than 300 during normal driving.

Must admit I was impressed by the noise of the engine and the roar from the exhaust of the battery car that won?

For those who may be interested in the future...

I believe he backtracked on this before he died.

He was also increasingly isolated on the subject. As we know with Covid, scientists frequently disagree, a shock to all of us who thought science was factual, but the numbers on each side of this debate are becoming increasingly loaded on one side and Bellamy was on the other side.

I believe there is a lot of truth in what he says though - I don’t think there will be much that can be done beyond token gestures - the world will keep changing.
I would rather they look at what they throw into water as a priority

So you believe the increase in temperature of the planet is a natural occurrence and we shouldn't worry about it as it's not a problem?

I think that disucssion is an entirely different thread so one to leave alone on here.

There are a multiple number of reasons for the climate to change over the centuries and it’s a combination of organically and human causes - the earth has increased by 1 degree since 1900 and by 2100 it will be another 2 - an increase is still going to happen even if humans disappeared

Is it a problem - yes there will be a problem in a couple hundred years , how much of problem who knows but right now there will lots treaties and promises etc but I think it will token and Mother Nature will win

As i said I would money spent on water pollution or protecting animals etc

What a totally pointless thing to post. You are comparing apples with sausage rolls.

I was merely pointing out that the only car to beat the Kia was small, impractical and very expensive to buy and run.
For roughly a 1/3 of the cost, you can still have a very fast car with all the luxuries and space and seats for all the family

So you're happy for mankind to continue pumping 10,000,000,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every year and let future generations worry about it if indeed there is a problem at all

I didn’t believe I said I was happy anywhere - but let’s be honest we will always all be contributing unless you have a fully eco house and don’t use one single bit of technology- you will contribute every single day of your life regardless of what is put in place

 

[Captainron]

I’ve often wondered how much CO2 was pumped out back in the industrial revolution. They burned so much coal and wood that the smogs in London were toxic and caused loss of life.

What Car's December edition has a review of the Tesla Model Y. It shows a shot of the "dashboard" from drivers position.

I've never seen such an utterly soulless bland "cockpit". Truly awful.

I agree, but many like it.
