The most useful thing about having 22kW onboard charging (like my Zoe GTline has) is cheap charging at a reasonable speed when you're out and about. For instance I drove down to Canterbury from my home in Northamptonshire. There are plenty of 22kW chargers in car parks and Canterbury is no exception. I was able to park up, charge, and spend a few hours there and return to a fully charged car at a decent price (much cheaper than a rapid charger typically)
Love this guys videos Makes a lot of sense lease new, buy used etc. He delivers an honest picture of the rapidly changing car world without hating / loving electric cars. As a Porsche / Audi owner ( both ICE) I’ll be needing a new car soon ish I’m 50/50 about electric but this fella would certainly help with choices Keep up the good work guru ! .
Thanks for the videos Jim. Really useful. One question (and apologies if I've missed the answer) how does the second hand leasing market compare? Asking for a (cheapskate) friend ;-)
Looking out for the BMW i7 - not that I can afford one lol - but I do think that as we go to April & the new VED rules for BEVs & luxury tax for £40k plus we will see some bargains
One of the Ariya deals there is insane. £353 per month, nothing upfront for a 2 year lease and 8k miles on the 225kW Advance. I picked up an ID.7 Tourer at £406 on same terms and thought that was good. I think the Ariya deal is even better.
Unfortunately that particular broker has form and often likes to say “we only have this colour and it’s £X more” when you call. I have reported them to LeaseLoco for it. Great deal on paper though; let’s hope it exists 👍
Random one… I’ve been looking at some deals and I usually do c. 10k miles per annum. Some of the deals actually make sense to go ahead with 5k mileage allowance and to pay the excess mileage, is there a limit on this?
Jim, took your advice and ordered an ID3 for the missus, £289/mth over 4yrs with 8k/pa and 1mth upfront. This is because there is a new face-lift coming out and VW had some end of Dec lease offers.
Very interesting video, i cannot understand why people consider doing leasing you pay alot to money and then have to hand a perfectly good car back to the dealer who says thank you very much. Why not use the 275/mt on an hp the old fashioned way and own the car yourself? Its beyond me but perhaps im missing something, im getting old and can remember when you could buy pre reg cars for 10 grand.
You are missing something I think. Do whatever suits you best but if you want the answer to your question maybe watch some more of my videos where I do comparisons. Buy appreciating assets and rent depreciating ones.
You answered the question yourself, cars do not cost 10k anymore, you are looking at double at least, with hp at current interest rates you are looking at £500 plus pm for a decent car
Jim, love the channel, one small criticism if I may, can you be careful when showing the car, eg the Tavascan section in this video, the 3d view shows the higher version with gold wheels etc, this is not what u would get with the v1 and if it were me I would be pretty disappointed when the lease company drop it off and it's got smaller, non gold wheels, for example. It's a bugbear (is that how u spell it) when sites show the top of the range car yet the car on offer is a lot lower spec. Loco is actually not to bad in that area but it would be good to feel more confident in what you see is what you get
@DefinitelyNotAGuru ah sorry man, didn't realise, would still be good if you could point that sort of stuff out though and even maybe influence leaseloco to add the right picture or at least a disclaimer if that makes. Just well intended suggestions btw, keep up the good work 👍
That BYD Seal is making long range Tesla Model 3's look like a bargain...I really think they've over priced it. The market really needs a decent range/price saloon car to challenge Tesla, but not at nearly £500/month....
I can imagine that the company's that lease these car's are getting them at trade value and the oem will be glad to get rid of them because they will have new models in the pipeline.
Leasing companies buy cars in huge volumes and then offer them out to brokers. Sometimes you can get an amazing deal when a car is about to get a refresh but often other factors play a more important part in the pricing. Brand new models and nameplates sometimes attract great deals for example as manufacturers want people to see plenty of them on the roads.

👍
I remember when 22kw chargers were usually free, happy days
Agreed it is great but in my experience they are typically more expensive than hyper chargers through Tesla or other subscriptions
@Popdog76 I use my Octopus Electroverse card where possible as it gives you an 8% discount versus the normal cost of affiliated charging networks.
Love this guys videos

It’s pointless - I’ve done a video on it if you want the longer answer
@DefinitelyNotAGuru thanks - appreciate the honesty and bow to your superior knowledge!!
Some good deals Jim 👍

Thanks for the ALA Insurance link Jim, a real no brainer and just buying my cover now 🙏🏼
No worries 👍

Yes they do

@DefinitelyNotAGuru Good to know. Thanks. Does seem to be too good to be true.
Basically, avoid "Leasing Options" on LeaseLoco if you want an Ariya as they seem to be the only ones doing it.
Yes I can vouch for that! Have tried to get the same deal. But suddenly the price jumps up as they’ve miraculously sold out of the base colour price!
@@jasondurow4455 I've reported it countless times to LeaseLoco - always with that broker on that car
Thanks for info.
Always welcome 🙏
👍👍👍. Thanks Jim

Hi jim The pictures you showed on the tavascan are the v2 spec or higher so the deal car doesn't look as good...v2 spec is much higher in price
The pictures on LeaseLoco are just "a car" they don't change for the specific trim level.
@DefinitelyNotAGuru hi jim that's a bit misleading they should show the actual car and trim because v1 doesn't look anywhere near as good as v2
@@sun-pb7xg so complain to them mate - I don't work for them!!!

I can’t repeat everything in every video to be fair - I’ve said it plenty of times in the past 👍
👏
👍
The Leaf deal has gone. Same deal now £389.33pm, £1168 down. Factory order, none in stock.
👌 keep checking back; it’s been around for months to be fair but maybe they finally sold all the stock

The new Mazda 6 looks promising
Bwm i7 is a £100k car at less than £500 month is luxury bargain

The intelligent dual motor system in the bZ4X AWD offers unmatched versatility, adjusting effortlessly to meet road demands and driver expectations.
Where did that comment come from? the bZ4X is an extremely underwhelming car and at £47k-£54k I'm afraid it's not exactly a big seller.
Where are the tesla cars? Best EVs out there
To get into these videos there needs to be an amazing lease deal available
When you look at the asking price of some of these cars earlier in 2024 , is it any wonder they are still available 😳 🎉
👍
Why would you need GAP insurance if your car insurance is new for old?
typically only new for old for the first 12 months
New for old is generally for a year and it replaced the car, not the finance you might owe on it.
And doesn’t cover outstanding finance…
My insurer will keep offering new for old in year 2. I have a 2 year lease.
@@mikeedwards4609really? Even so I can assure you they won’t plug any finance gap for you - who is the insurer??
208's look like they've already gone, now over £500/month @8/1/25
And now it's back - Crazy!!!
Ouch! That didn’t last long - I filmed this at 2pm today 😁
👌
I’d be so interested in a Motability deals video every 3 months when the prices change.
I don’t really understand how it works to be honest. Could you email me a link?
