By way of comparison, my 8 year little Suzuki Celerio averages 70 mpg or 1.71miles/kWh of petrol. At £1.33/litre (the Jet garage around the corner), my petrol costs 14.77p/kWh, so it costs me 8.64p/mile. My standard variable Octopus tariff is 25p/kWh of leccy so it would cost me 8.06 pence/mile to run it. Hardly a compelling incentive to go EV is it??

Great review! I got the simpler version here in Brazil and it's nice to see the differences between regions. Here the charging speed is not really a problem since the chargers average bellow 60kWh and the ones that charge around 60 are rare. Unlike the UK we don't have a lot of EV options and its price range is between the byd seagul and dolphin, so it kinda stands out here.
Hi Alex, from bluesky ha ha and great to see like the design but the charging is too poor for it to sell. Is that because their battery tech is so poor
I have an Ora Funky Cat. It’s comfy, the guess’o’meter is pretty accurate and as you mention it turns heads. As for the negative points, it’s everything else. The app is crap, CarPlay doesn’t work properly (and took Ora 2 years to release), the UI on the dash is clunky and not intuitive at all. You can’t even pre-heat the car when it’s plugged in. Oh and cross your fingers that nothing goes wrong, the dealer network is terrible! Avoid!
Great review Alex. The Ora 03 is a car begging for its owner to give it a cute name, like Pickle.
Thanks 😂

@@MrSensible2don’t buy an EV then and don’t criticise those who do as we don’t criticise those who don’t.
@@REV-EV I'll say what I bloody well like, how I like & when I like. Okay?

Do you have to switch everything off, everytime?
Unfortunately yes. However with the new software GWM is rolling out, it is much better.
