- This week on the DoneDeal UA-cam channel we have caught up with our friends at Brady’s of Castleknock who will have their knew CUPRA Garage opening this August. They lent us their brand new CUPRA Born to take for a test. The version we had on test is the 58kWh battery which has a claimed WLTP range of up to 417km.
We decided to do a series of tests including driving through Dublin City Centre, driving on the M50 motorway as well as stopping off at a fast charger. We also talk about charging your car at home, and how you can theoretically do this at no cost.
Another great thing about EVs is that they tend to come with some really high tech features including regenerative braking, lane assist and adaptive cruise control.
We hope you learn something from this video and thank you so much for watching.

This is a really good video. It's well presented, it covers a lot of material without going into too much depth and covers all the main points well.
Thank you so much! We really appreciate your kind words! More videos to come!
Brilliant video. The 'hungry child' analogy is the best explanation I've heard of charging speeds.
I hear lot reviewers saying switch to night rate or the "free" weekend tafiff from providers but if look up these tariffs you will find you pay cheaper night rate etc but your normal day rate goes up so not really saving at end of the day. Good in depth review
This is 100% true. If you make this decision you have to be very conscious of when and how you use your electricity. Typically it doesn't work for someone who works from home as they use a lot of power during the day.
This really only works for people who are at the office 5 days a week from morning till night.
I’m getting a Cupra Born EV later this week and I hear this all the time if you have an EV you need an EV tariff. I did the maths and for someone like me who works at home it was not cheaper to use on of these tariffs. I wish they could be marketed in the correct way versus being promoted to all EV drivers. My friend who also drives electric has an EV tariff and when I worked out the difference between EV tariff and normal tariff he was making a saving of £2 a month and he had to charge his car at night only.
"promo sm" 😅
