EV Experts Part 3

Thanks for this excellent series of videos. As a Brit who has lived in France for many years I find the UK a bizarre place when it comes to attitudes to EVs. The price of public charging is outrageous and the premium EV owners pay for insurance is completely unjustified. I pay no more for my Kia e-Niro here than owners of the Niro Hybrid pay. EVs are simply better cars to drive, far cheaper to own and the motor/battery will stay viable for longer than an ICE drive train, witness the increasing number of EVs with astronomical mileages on them with minimal maintenance as proof of that.

Well done an informative and well produced video that is free from EV FUD. I wish you every success. I concur with your fast public charger analysis. I've had a Zoe for just over three years now and regularly travel 600 miles from NE Scotland to the south coast of England. Compared to three years ago public fast chargers are ubiquitous. I also calculated the cost of the last trip and even using expensive public chargers it cost £84 less than if I'd done the trip in my hyunfia i20.

Thanks .I do not care what people want to drive be it ICE or EV, I chose EV and am very happy with it. I do not understand why people want to insult me about my choice, if they don't want one then don't buy one, I don't insult their choice. Shame politics and big oil got involved.

Great video. I have in the past played 'whack-a-troll' with online misinformation but I just skip past those comments now - too many. Until the media stop encouraging anti EV click bait, the needle wont shift. I'm really hoping that the new battery tech coming (400mls +) coming out will push the rhetoric to be more positive.

I take issue with the continued comparison between a Tesla Model 3 and a BMW 3 series. The BMW quality is much higher than the Tesla. It would be fairer to compare the Model 3 with Stellantis and Ford offerings. I don't think that the Model 3 is a bad car but it isn't a premium car. People are being duped imo if they think that they are comparable.

the biggest drawback is higher insurance cost, my petrol car cost me £295 a year, but my basic EV is costing me £694, also I have just heard volvo are recalling all of their EX30 models and several chinese manufactures have gone bust this past month, the market is still in its infancy and many people and holding back to see what develops
