That's a good comparison list but remember they are all average prices, so you will need to get a quote for your area for the exact price/cost.

Nice idea, I don't know but does it need any ventilation for when it's in use ?

For anyone wanting to compare the annual costs of the tariff they are currently on to a different offering to see whether it's worth switching, please see the attached spreadsheet. It can be difficult to decide as standing charges vary and rates vary by area and of course your own usage, but...

So say 16.000 miles a year. Current fuel duty on fossil fuel is 52.95p/litre plus VAT, total 63.54p/litre or £2.88/gallon. (at 4.54 litres in a gallon) 16,000 miles at 50mpg (let's be generous) is 320 gallons 320 gallons fuel duty is £921. EV - £500 ICE - £921. Not as bad as ICE but still hurts.

not very well though.... 😂

That's because you live in 'Cruising', it's an expensive area.

Make sure you have not reached your contactless limit as the charger will refuse your card and there is no option to enter a PIN.

A credit card is a useful thing. I have one only used for large or exceptional purchases, such as booking or paying for holidays and spending on holidays. (commission free and perfect exchange rates :) ) cars etc. Set to automatically repay in full each month so no interest ever accrued. Section...

Appreciate the technical data for comparison but it means nothing until you sit in one. I have never once in my life measured my seat height or even the length/height/width or anything else on a car. :D

I haven't looked properly. My only concern is possibly the height for entry/exit. I moved from the MG5 largely because I found it very low and my Kona is a nice inbetweeny height for getting in and out. That is I don't have to climb to get in like in my daughters Santa Fe and I don't have to...

Maybe you are, and maybe it's because I'm not explaining an inexplicable feeling. :D The new Kona as an example looks and feels huge compared to my Kona, which feels compact. Physical dimensions are irrelevant if the car is the same size but feels huge. That's probably down to fantastic...

Your are indeed correct. :) A very competent all rounder, nothing exciting, just does everything well. A replacement for my MG5 PFL LR which was itself a replacement for the MG ZS EV Gen 1.

I love destination charging while I'm away. We visit Warner hotels amongst others and use the chargers there overnight to fill up for pootling around after arriving and to have a full enough tank when setting off for home. It's almost like having the convenience of being at home. :D

I don't think so. The solution to my 'niche user case' of not requiring a large car but wanting a decent range actually exists in the car I have now and it's sister (Kona and e-Niro). Both have unfortunately been superseded by next gen models which have grown in dimensions, so replacing with...

Just thought I'd join in as for once I have my figures. I don't normally bother as it uses what it needs whenever I drive, same as my old ICE vehicles. You may also notice it's not an MG. Done a mix of urban and motorway speed stuff, heater on Auto and 21 degrees most of the time this last...
