Thread: EV general discussion

grrr- I want it before Landrover suggest 2024

Disco is booked in for a yearly service - I have a love hate relationship with it now. I need it yet hate the costs as it is not my daily drive now. The hydrogen fuel cell is likely to be the first option for really long range EV I suspect even it it is in the boot of a BEV


Volvo is hmmm We need another way in towing and traveling and current gen EV is not up to many of our needs

City 420kmCity driving and low average speeds tend to be the most efficient scenarios for electric cars. However, in colder weather, when you are more likely to use the heater and with other factors taken into consideration, the vehicle range is approximately 210km.


Combined 360kmThis is a combination of city and highway driving. At an average speed that reflects these circumstances but in lower temperatures and with increased use of the vehicle’s heating system, the vehicle range is approximately 200km.


Highway 300kmOn the highway at average speeds of around 100km/h, the power required to overcome higher wind resistance puts extra demands on the battery. In colder weather and in less than ideal road conditions, the vehicle range is approximately 220km.

Are we there yet? was a question kids might state repeatedly. It is screaming out loud yet happily in some shipping sectors some carbon free helpful options are in play.

So you have to buy an electric car within a few years but you’re advised not to charge it at high demand times. Anyone else see an issue here?

Nah,only you and i that have been talking about this for what seems ages.

Just imagine how that will go with work vehicles

Other countries are load shedding EV charging stations at times,as well
