@RealismHelps @modernheroestv State of health. Battery’s usable capacity compared to when it was new, basically.
My 2017 IONIQ 28kWh was at 100% reported SoH after 110,000 miles. Given Hyundai buffer, it’s more likely 95%+.
My 2016 i3 REX with 148,000 miles (on the clock is 85-90%).

Why does everyone that criticises the cost of electric cars completely ignore the fact that used ones exist?
£70k for a Leaf and a Tesla? 😅
SubSea Fella 🇳🇱🇬🇧🇺🇦@pkeijlewer
@MotchmanJ Yeah. Like every body could afford 2 cars, worth about £70K. Are you brag about how much money you got or how much money you spend on renewables, as that is another £20K.. It seems to me your a bit selfish and dont think about less fortunate ppl.
English
@modernheroestv Please yourself. Why would a seller under-represent it when selling?
English
@RealismHelps Well normally someone publishing the state of health would have a certificate/report to back it up - 74% at 44k miles is extremely out of character for an i3. If you’d said a 30kWh Leaf that hadn’t had the BMS update applied I’d be more inclined to believe you.

@RVA_DOT @MomentumMag No they don't. That's just not true. No point playing top trumps on it, but there's many reports of the decline of retail and other businesses as a consequence, lack of facility for those unable to cycle etc. Be honest.

@dharford79 100%. DRLs were the dumbest (EU) idea for road safety in recent years....complemented by a dumbing down of driver competence
English
And the amount of people who cannot seem to work out how to use lights on a car properly during foggy mornings is shocking!
Stop relying on DRL!

@ahf2025 Are they? Or is that amgenuine attempt to make women-only sessions available for those who don't want/like (or allowed...) mixed gender sessions? I don't think the remainder are unavailable to women?
English
Women restricted to female only sessions, 1 hour once a week usually, because nobody gives a damn about making swimming pool changing areas safe for women and girls.
Single sex, make them single sex.
Women's Rights Network - WRN@WomensRightsNet
‘Allocation of female-only programmed sessions’ is suggested as a ‘control measure’. We agree. Female-only swim sessions are a good way to encourage more women to swim. But… Sport England might like to address the fact that women-only sessions are in sharp decline. Our Freedom of Information survey of UK leisure centres revealed there are: - ZERO women-only sessions in Northern Ireland - in England, Wales and Scotland, only 28 of the 139 sessions advertised as women-only, actually excluded males Our message to Sport England - if you want to provide women-only sessions you’d better remind leisure centres to comply with the law. Women-only does not include males, however they dress. 3/6

@RealismHelps Your i3 is a bit older than mine yet higher mileage still @au_tom_otive,
How’s the SoH?
English
@modernheroestv Report? It was an Autotrader advert. I didn't buy it for that reason.
English
@RealismHelps I’d love to see the report to that, I have a 126k mile i3 with 96% SoH.
English
@modernheroestv That's not correct. Honest sellers (!) often post the % of capacity left & a 16 plate BMW i3 I looked at was at 74% @ 44k miles. £5k to replace on a £6k car. A B250E MB only has about 80 miles range from new - £8k to buy. Battery life is dependent upon how the car has been used
English
@RealismHelps Battery degradation is minimal on the majority of models even at high mileage. Actually comparing like with like is important too.
English
@shadetreeisback However - reality says boring EVS remove that possibility.
English
@shadetreeisback For some it is. A relation of mine is an ADI & has sold the manual as no-one wanted lessons in it. Everyone should learn in one for the sake of car control IMO. Can't drive a manual? Should be allowed to sdrive.
English
Of course I do
If I didn't I wouldn't have only ever owned manual cars
Why do people act like daily driving a manual is this really difficult inconvenient thing? it's really not
yama@wydyama
There’s no way y’all like driving manual everyday
English
@StuartM89899952 @raimonick To produce the energy required to 'make things', whether plastics, lubes etc requires more energy than so-called renewables creates in the UK. That energy comes from hydrocarbons which are burnt. To claim an EV requires ZERO (as claimed) of CH4 is just incorrect.
English
@RealismHelps @raimonick You don't burn lubricants into CO2 though so what's your point here?
English
Use 100% less buy an EV

@StuartM89899952 @raimonick 'Most likely'? And how were the components of thes devices assembled? No lubricants (Google the lube content of a single wind fram unit?). dial back the phoney self-righteousness?
English
@RealismHelps @raimonick The sun or the wind most likely
English
@twistedsister17 @maxtempers No they're not. 'Back problems' are one of the biggest skives out there and too many MH 'ailments' are no more than most people deal with regularly.
English
@RealismHelps @maxtempers 'Fair game'? So you're saying it's ok to harm people with ADHD? Are you for real? All disabilities are genuine, btw.
English
In the UK, people bring ‘PIP Pals’ with them to theme parks to skip long queues.
English
@Bubblejet @maxtempers Sad, but there are nutters everywhere, the country attracts and breeds them and seldom punishes them. I've met many able people who have had the same crimes committed against them. To try and link such behaviour to the disability of the victim is just daft.
English
@RealismHelps @maxtempers Just seen this. I have a friend who is a wheelchair user. She's tiny and very physically frail. A bloke attacked her in the street and tried to stab her with a pair of scissors. I'm a wheelchair user with a type of motor neurone disease. I've had my windows egged. You've no idea!
English
@Bubblejet Because those supposedly 'treated like crap' get hand-outs from the tax payer & there are differening forms/effects of disability, allowing the lazy & feckless to thrive whilst the genuine ones miss out on support. Like many you lack the capability to use the word 'some'
English
@RealismHelps I'm not "playing the victim". I'm just bemused by your attitude. You seem to have a real problem with any disabled people who say that the status quo isn't great.
English
@Honestyhim @kelvmackenzie Don't we all? (Not always the same one..........)
English
@kelvmackenzie I know a girl, attractive, boob job, great tattoos, never worked in her life, 4 kids, different fathers, no one around, now 30, state paying for everything, loads of takeaways, Prosecco, and Wetherspoons.
English
Instead of using a mother of 6 challenged children ( she receives £2,500 a month in state handouts) as an example of poverty in Colchester, Essex, the piece on R4’s Today would have made more sense if Amol Rajan had asked why she didn’t use birth control after say 3 of her kids were born with issues.
I’m sure she would argue that she had the right to have as many children as she liked but surely we have the right to say we have the right not to pick up the bill for your decisions.
English
@shadetreeisback Whilst it is a barometer of several econmic aspects of the U.S. it's no longer as big a deal as it was. Most I've met know that 'gas' remains cheap in most states.
English
Well yeah there's a reason that Americans in particular start crashing out when the fuel price rise.
They drive a lot you know we do 7,000 miles a year annually on average.
Americans do double that distances can be really long out there.
The average Britain thinks 40 miles is a long journey an American by contrast thinks nothing of doing double that distance to get a cheeseburger.
It's completely understandable that people get mad about the price going up because it really does impact a lot of people in a real way.
Cost of living keeps going up and up everyone's getting squeezed.
English
Yeah I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with loads of people being fucking broke and living paycheck to paycheck
No that couldn't possibly be it Americans are just uniquely immoral and selfish.
onion person@CantEverDie
it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish
English
@Bubblejet Aggressive? 'Angry'? My post above is proven already. Well done, you've demonstrated to anyone reading this exactly what perspective you and those like you chose to take...they play victim.
English
@RealismHelps Lol! Maybe YOU could listen and learn, instead of being so aggressive. I don't know what you think I've done, but you seem quite angry with me. Are you suffering from roid rage?!
