I saw a rare sight today at my local Sainsbury’s today. A white SE (like my last one), a red Trophy and my X power, all parked with about 4 spaces from each other. Started chucking it down so didn’t get a photo. I do like that the X Power is such a rare car. I’ve only seen 3 others on the road...

That’s true.

I think there is a poll about it on here somewhere and more had it than not. It’s started making into reviews (skip to about 4:20 when they get to the x power).

As @salty says. On a 23 plate if it’s okay now it’s unlikely to develop.

It was brand new so didn’t get to test drive the one I actually bought. If it’s like mine is now and you are used to a hybrid then it’s probably not going to bother you at all. The vibration is no worse than the sensation of an engine running.

Mine was a bit like driving over a cattle grid, you could feel it through the floor (it made my calf muscles feel weird and my fingers almost numb), the seat, steering wheel and the whole car would shake. If there was nobody in the passenger seat you could see that shaking. They had it back for...

It’s more likely to have it than not and how bad it is or how much it will bother you seems to vary. I think it’s worth test driving it to find out if it’s one that doesn’t do it or it’s subtle. Definitely don’t buy it without test driving it. I’ve got a 25 and it has it so it’s a lottery no...

Another thing to consider is charge losses. The Ohme is putting AC into the car but the car is converting it to DC to charge the battery. As a rough rule of thumb, there is a 10% loss in the conversion. Ohme / Octopus seems to gotten rather good at accounting for this and now seems to add extra...
