As we are now into the last year of our lease, I am looking at what to get next. It has to be easier to get into and out of, have a much bigger boot and preferably, a little extra width in the back to carry 3 more comfortably. Mrs Secure is not so anti EV as she was, as long as she can get at...

The Low Emission Zones in major French cities have been scrapped, meaning the Crit Air stickers denoting the levels of pollution cars/ vans etc have, no longer apply and we are back to a free for all. Consequently the uptake of EVs will most likely reduce as many of the grants/subsidies for...

Well of course they are....aren't they ? Yes EVs are expensive, mostly, but I have been astounded by the price of new cars in general for some time. One of the many reasons I bought my first EV in 2020 was down to price. It was cheaper to my new ZS EV than to buy a Ford Focus, or any other...

Hi all. I've been lurking for a few weeks but finally plucked up the courage to post. I've recently ordered a Volcano Orange MG4 XPower through workplace EV scheme. Awaiting a date for delivery but should be before Christmas. Very excited to get my hands on it, but I am a little nervous about...

Here's Jonathan Porterfield on his experience:

I'm an admin on the Australian Electric Vehicle Association forum (as well as a moderator here), and it seems to fall to me to add a new forum whenever a new EV marque is available in Australia. We have one poster in particular, who kindly gives me a list of such marques to add, and his latest...

I just wondered. Do folk in EVs... Listen to AC/DC or just something current?

Maybe I'm being a bit petty but I've noticed that many EV drivers are using my local Connected Kerb for periods exceeding 12 hours . As I type ther's one that's been "charging " for 15 hours . There are only two charging posts there thus rendering one unusable for the greater part of the day ...

No MG content, but we know because we own Chinese cars, that the Chinese are definitely coming... Low-cost, high-tech Chinese EVs have stirred fears of a government subsidized existential threat to automakers around the world. So what do these vehicles have to offer? How do they compare to the...

Just thinking about how much our holiday fuel cost. 1000 mile trip. £80 worth of public charger network ( mostly Tesla member rates) = 8p / mile ?? Seems reasonable. To be fair I'd charged to 100% on solar before leaving and upon return, so freebies and paid £9 Tesla monthly subscription, but...

Thanks Stuart (Mod) for letting me post this! The Yorkshire EV Club have a wonderful meet this year again, called EVs Up North. We've felt that a lot of the big meets have been reduced over the last few years and therefore tried to fill the void that has been left. These events are great for...
