    The need to register for the London congestion charge exemption is obvious when you think about it. Each £20 adds up, so if 10 million people register that's another £200 million in the bank. Add to that all the fines off people who didn't realise that you had to register - and I bet that's a very large number of people - and there's a few more million quid. Nice little earner, or as I prefer to call it, scam.

My little petrol car cost me £11K with 50 miles on the clock, a similar size EV would be nearer to £22K, as a low mileage motorist it would take me ten years just to break level.

    The doors wouldn't open, The windows wouldn't go down, the man had to kick
    out the glass on the window to climb out and escape from the fire, as soon as

    I live in Leeds and often have to drive down to London, so find it interesting hearing your comparisons of the A1 and M1. If I'm doing the round trip I like to take one route down and the other back, mixing it up for variety. The A1 is generally better in rush hour, although there are some bits that get snarled up, eg at Newark. It's generally a more mellow, relaxing route, and I enjoy its ancient history. It's got more character, boarded up diners included, than the soulless and boring M1! That said, there are some things about the A1 that aren't great, such as all the at-grade crossroads (you'd need to be a kamikaze to attempt turning right across two lanes of traffic speeding directly towards you at 70mph!). Plus, south of the A14, the A1 soon becomes significantly more bendy and semi-urban in places, with houses fronting onto the road at Sandy. In terms of services, you have a fair few service areas such as Colsterworth, Markham Moor and Peterborough, plus several standalone petrol stations and coffee shops. The Starbucks at Markham Moor occupies the distinctive "butterfly"-shaped building that was once upon a time a Little Chef.

      @way2deep100 2 роки тому +1

      @Nig ☺ Precisely. I bought a hybrid based partly on the salesman's assurance that it was exempt from the C-charge. The reality was that it qualified for 100% discount, which is not quite the same thing and which was promptly withdrawn by TfL less than a year later when they moved the goalposts. EVs and plug-in hybrids will not only congest the roads just like any other car, they will add to it by extended occupation of the parking spaces/charge points that other drivers are driving around in circles searching for. Just as well the rail workers are satisf . . . . .

Sure, a car is an appliance, and not every user wants gory techie details, and what Porsche obviously *want* you to do is take it to a dealer who can plug in diagnostics or something, but if it's going to present you with a spinny wheel, you should at least be able to dig down into the menus or something, and get some more information about what's going on.

    It used to have a very peculiar quirk - where I would get in the car and then I couldn't start the engine: there was a message came up on the - saying "no key detected" Effin strange as it had detected the key 30 seconds earlier to open the door 🤣
    Fortunately, it was 'fixed' by using the key buttons to lock and unlock the doors. Then it starts.

    Your observation about the lack of charging points is valid, and important.
    If we really are going fully electric in 10 years or so - this needs to be fixed.
    My view is - its all about profit.
    Private companies aren't going to spend millions building all these charge points until they've got the customers to use them and thereby generate profit....
    Building all the chargepoints now, before the millions of electric vehicles to use them are on the road, is obviously a loss making exercise.
    So that leaves the government: are they going to start this huge building program?

    BATTERY REPLACEMENT: $15,000 and 150,000 miles. ... = 10 cents/mile. At 120 MPGe, an EV battery is like buying fuel at $12/gallon ($0.1 x 120 mpge = $12) without charging. Charging will be 60 cents/kwh at home ($20/gal) and on the road 90-120 cents/kwh ($30-40/gal). Total cost is $42 to $52/gallon gasoline equivalent. RE fuel at home will be $1/gal with 120 mpg on Ethanol. No battery charge. Road tax will be 1/2 that of EV/mile. An EV will be 40-50 times MORE than a NET car without road tax considered. With road tax? 120 x $0.02/mile = $2.4/gal. Total fuel cost then is $1+2.4=$3.4/gal .../120 mpg= 2.83 cents/mile. The EV road tax is $4.8/gal. 52+4.8=$56.8/gallon.../120 mpge = 47.3 cents/mile. Ratio = 47.3/2.83=16.7 times MORE for EV. But, it is even better, as you will not pay for fuel made at home but once every 5 years during overhaul... That means cost is only road tax, or $2.4/gal marginally. 2.4/120= 2 cents/mile. 56.8/2=28.1 times more for EV. This is the future. No way can an EV compete with NET... Then there is the CO2...20-160 times less CO2. EVs are a silly JOKE>

    It's like having a computer in the 80s always needing bug patches. I think the porsche is no better than any other electric car. It's like going bk in time again and starting again.

    If you know that your car is riddled with faults, why wouldn’t you flog it and buy the right car for you. We have 2 ev cars and don’t suffer any problems…. And I’m 68 and don’t know ought about technology…. Cheers from Codnor, just down the road

    I think this is a Porche computer problem rather than an EV issue. In one way it is an EV issue as they do more software updates on EV's to maximize battery life, charging, etc. Don't buy a Porche as their computers are in their ICE and EV cars.
