Just looked at a used EV. Immaculate condition. Average mileage for 3 yrs old. Depreciated 76% from new. Who can afford this depreciation on new EVs?

Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce. • Starting price: $640,000 • Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive • Range: 280 miles (expected EPA) • Peak charging speed: 350kW • 122 kWh battery • 1,050 horsepower • 0-60mph: 2.4s • 800v • Four-door four-seater • Four electric motors • OLED screens • Weight: 4,982 lbs • Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm • Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car. • Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels • The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered • 197.6 inches long, about as long as a Tesla Model S U.S. deliveries start in Q2 2027.

@japers_1984 @CaswellAdrian @ian4downton The break even points for those subscriptions are all fairly low Ie. Cost of subscription divided by savings per KWh = KWh needed to charge to break even Typically it's one whole battery charge, dependent on battery size, maybe two.

@jackisgeeky @1985Pete @markkingsthumb @ian4downton It's very relevant You're claim over multiple replies seems to be that the ZEV mandate is making all forms of new car more expensive. You imply you can't get a new family car for less than £60k Yet give no evidence or examples He's giving direct contradicting examples

@jackisgeeky @ian4downton Not long ago you could get a good quality petrol or diesel family car for around £30K. Now you have to pay double that for an EV. Yet this doesn't seem to stand to scrutiny. You can't find a decent family EV for less than 60k?

@ian4downton If you don’t do huge National mileage there are some amazing leasing deals on new EV’ s. I like my 14 year old V6 for a few more years though.

@japers_1984 @ian4downton They’re great if you can charge at home. I use an EV for work and have to charge on the go. Most public chargers are 0.79-0.89p per kilowatt. Last week it cost my company £55 to recharge my vehicle after driving only 133 miles.

@ian4downton max 2 years until the market implodes, i believe. once the new waves of leases end and everyone who wanted to buy a used EV has, they will flood and kill the auto market.

@ian4downton It's not just the depreciation but the purchase prices. Not long ago you could get a good quality petrol or diesel family car for around £30K, now you have to pay out double that for the EV equivalent. We're being taken for mugs.

@red4treble @SiOldridge @TiceRichard @AkshatRathi UK renewables get paid on CFDs. Eg Dogger Bank A B and C plus Sofia just coming online now at £53/MWh So the gas marginal price may have been £140/MWh but we'll be paying 72% less via AR3 offshore wind projects Fabulous eh?

Well this is interesting. @TiceRichard appears to be basing his opposition to upgrading our energy system on a quite a major misunderstanding. I urge Richard to catch up on this. Excellent interview by @AkshatRathi. Links below.

Electric vehicle drivers online like to quote their home charging rates to wind-up ICE motorists. The reality, however, is somewhat different. Usable range of the majority of EVs is under 250 miles, or about £30 of petrol in the average modern ICE car. The reality is that unless you are a granny that only uses your car to go to Tesco, or you have a simple daily 40 mile commute, you're going to be using public chargers half the time. Your EVs sat nav does a very good job of building in charging stops into long journeys, and to be even more clever, it tells you if someone is plugged into the charger, or if it's available. Now here's where the fun ends. Firstly, a lot of supermarket chargers, which have the lowest rates, are out of order for long periods. You'll easily be able to get on a 7 or 22kw charger, but with supermarkets having a 2 or 3 hour parking limit, you'll be lucky to get 100 miles of charge during that time. If someone is plugged into the other chargers in the car park, this reduces your charging speed even further. In short, forget supermarkets. Other options include BP Pulse, fitted at most Co op stores, but many of these are out of order too, and charge a whopping 93p per kwh. That works out about 30 to the gallon in petrol language. Instavolt & Ionity are also expensive but fast and reliable. You'll get 70kwh charge on a 160kw charger, enough to pump 100 miles top up in just 15 minutes. They are situated at Starbucks and many retail parks. Also 93p kwh, so about 20% more expensive than petrol. EV owners don't charge their cars from 5 to 100% on the road, they just top up from 30 to 60% as its expensive, just enough to get you home. Once you get tired of expensive charging, you might want to consider a wall box, these charge at 7kw, and will fully charge your car overnight in about 10 hours. Average cost is £2k, including installation. So make sure you're going to run an EV permanently to make it worth it. Having spoken to many owners whilst charging, those with home chargers still often choose the public option for speed and convenience. As for the cars themselves, they actually don't drive any different to an ICE car, although they usually feel more powerful under acceleration. Motorway cruising is quieter with just tyre noise. They feel more modern, and you feel like you are part of a major technological change in society when you're driving one. But don't think you'll be doing all your charging for a fiver a tank at home. Life isn't so mundane that you won't need fast charging for certain trips, or that you'll forget to charge at home before a business meeting. My take - I wouldn't buy one outright with my own money yet, but I'd take one over an ICE car as a company or lease car. The latest tech is an exciting sea change, as important as the invention of the PC. After all, that £500 a month you'll save on company car tax due to a 4% BIK rate, can buy you a lot of Starbucks while you're waiting at a charging station..
