@mikeschap1 Thanks for watching Michael. I no longer own the IONIQ, but I had both the 28kW Gen 1 and the Gen 2 39kW (seen in the video). Today my wife and I both have EVs; a Model 3 Dual Motor and a 52kW Zoe GT Line. Both cars are charged to 80% using my Tesla wallbox. When I owned the Hyundai's I charged to 80% whenever possible in order to preserve the life of the battery, and whilst I didn't have a scientific way of checking battery degradation, I did not see significant changes in range and battery consumption during the 20,000 miles I had mine. Hyundai have some of the best real-world battery systems out there but the Gen 2 IONIQ did suffer some issues with cell failure in the packs, and battery management glitches - a fault that saw many cars going back to retailers. To answer your question about charge limits, I have covered 35,000 miles in my Tesla in 2 years. I charged to 80% religiously as the range at the level is still plenty (270 miles), and in 2 years I have seen a 2% loss in battery capacity. Hope this helps. Enjoy your car!

@@CARfariPark Thank you so much for the rapid response. Definitely answered the question. Happy cheap! Motoring.

I owned both and I talk about both versions in the video.

Enjoy! Thanks for watching.

There always has to be that one person who will find fault in another person's content! If I were you, I'd invest my energy in getting my own content to decent quality before commenting on someone else's.... oh and by the way, you know UA-cam is owned by this fantastic search engine called Google. You may have heard of them - you can do conversions, translations and all sorts - even look up what troll means 🤣

UK spec cars don't specify N Performance Pack. Other markets have that choice, whereas the UK cars are configured slightly differently, including the factory option of BOSE audio. (Also remember that this was filmed at launch in 2021).

@@CARfariPark I checked and you're right. In Slovenia we have the N and N performance pack. But you can't really order a car, the dealer has your number and when there's a shipment incoming he'll call you. If you asnwer great if not better luck next year XD Crazy times...

I'm a big fan of the Malbec Red seen on this car!

Don’t leave anything in it, then there’s nothing to steal. They ain’t going to drive it away that’s for sure.

So is a motorbike yet it's a popular form of transport.

The brakes will only release if you put the ignition on, so it does have some security.

If you search Google or Facebook for Kenneth Nilsen (Twizy Powerbox) he is the guy that engineers the Bluetooth unit and accompanying app.

Thank you 🙏

Sorry, not sure as it was a year ago when I last drove the car. You'll be best placed to contact your local VW retailer or the sales advisor who handed the car over to you.

It will have the appropriate domestic plug for the country of sale. My UK car had a three-pin 13amp. There is no fast charging DC option on Twizy as the battery is so small. As I mentioned in the video, I had a third-party adapter that allowed the Twizy to be plugged into a Type 2 charge point, however, there are no benefits to the charge speed as the rate and speed is governed by the onboard charger.

@@CARfariPark so the type 2 charger is for charging at a public charge station?

@Sean Dixon Yes, Type 2 is generally the industry standard in the UK & Europe for AC charging. Having the adapter allows the Twizy to plug into one of the many 7KW public chargers - be mindful as I've already mentioned, the bigger public chargers will not increase charge times. The Twizy will still only draw the same rate that it was designed to pull when using a three-pin plug. The adapters are not a Renault part and would likely invalidate the warranty on the battery. My car was outside of warranty and I owned the battery. In reality, public charging with a Type 2 is only useful if you're leaving the car somewhere or you're prepared to wait 2-3hrs for a full charge. With energy prices at record highs, the Charge Point Operators are now charging for the slower 7KW charges, whereas when I owned my Twizy, they were free to use, which was convenient as I had access to one right next to my work office. I certainly wouldn't want to pay 30-40 pence per unit when the Twizy can be charged at home off-peak for so much less.

@@CARfariPark thanks boss. I bought one but it hasnt arrived yet. I didnt do the homework on it about charging. I thought charging ports on electric vehicles was universal. Im in jamaica and we use american standard electrical outlets (120VAC)and plugs in homes for appliances. So now i have 2 options. First is to replace the english standard plug with an american standard; try to get and install an english standard outlet for use. Which option would you suggest? Thanks for assistance bro

I think I just yesterday saw one here in Finland with my daughter and we were like what was that zooming past us 😅🤩

Hi Peter, the headroom is good and at 5ft 11" tall myself there was still plenty of room for my wife in the back. Unlike the Ami, the Twizy benefits from a much higher top speed and more compact form. Storage space will be the challenge if you regularly carry a passenger. As for security, I fitted the plastic windows and used a steering wheel lock as an extra layer of security and visual deterrent. Back to creature comforts... there are none other than a quick-clear heated windscreen, so dimisting is easy but will drain range if you use it constantly in the winter. I used to plug the car into the mains before leaving home, switch on the Twizy's ignition and activate the heated screen in advance of leaving, just to save a little extra energy. I also found that after adding the new windows plus some beefier door seals I kept a lot of the rain and road elements out of the cabin which helped to keep it dry and damp free. Don't be under any illusion that the Twizy is a car - like the Ami, the Twizy is a quadricycle and therefore gets around the levels of safety and features required in a car. My best purchase for driving the Twizy in winter was battery powered heated gloves and a small fleece blanket for my legs. Despite all of the aforementioned, I absolutely loved the Twizy and was sad to see it go earlier in the year. It had to make way for a car with more range as I changed jobs. Best of luck if you go with one - lots of fun and a car that turns more heads than a Supercar.

In 2043 you can!

Thanks for watching and your feedback. Happy Twizying 👍🏻

Thank you for your sub and kind feedback. Enjoy the N if you get one. They are a lot of fun and make a great noise.

Thank you Ivan, I appreciate the sub! 👊🏻 I have to admit, the Twizy now has a new home. I loved it while I had it but I cashed in when the EV market boomed again due to chip shortages and new car delays. My Hyundai goes tomorrow all in readiness for something I think is really cool! Can't wait! It's an EV, 400hp and in my opinion super cool!

I understand Nissan have rebadged them as Nissan Scoots and rent them out in places like San Francisco. They are apparently very popular in asia.
