Can we create separate thread, maybe this one, where all competitors for the 'most prolific poster' competition can post away to their hearts content and the rest of us can carry on as usual. :)

It's not really that barmy, after all it is January. :)

Range was what I wanted, that depends on more than battery size alone. The Kia's and Hyundai's are efficient compared to many others. My present Kona has a 64kWh usable and easily achieves 300 miles in not cold weather. Many manufacturer's WLTP figures claim to get 5m/kWh or close for their...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I quite like the look of the EV2 although I don't like the EV3 as much which looks very similar. The boxiness gives it lots of internal room.

I think it's a 61kWh battery giving a range of about 275.

Same sprinkling here in West Yorkshire.

The base model used to be 39,990 (avoiding the luxury tax) now 5,000 dearer ! Longer range and improved but still up bit of a hike, making the Standard only just less than the original.

I would love a heat pump but we are in a modern build that came with a combi boiler and absolutely nowhere to put a hot water tank.
