Budget's a bummer

Fuel duty is approx £2.88/gallon or 52.95p/litre plus VAT, total 63.54p/litre. So at 50mpg you are paying 5.76p per mile. Just for comparison purposes. The other savings look good though, unfortunately.

Other EVs have this ability, Tesla for example and my Kona, in fact all Kia/Hyundai I believe. In mine it is called Utility mode operated from the infotainment, basically puts it into accessory mode but with the HV connected so no DRLs and can operate all features such as heater and all 12v...

But not many electrons. How much does the GOM drop when you put the heater on and how much does it drop when you only turn on seats and wheel ? Heated seats use in the region of 30-100w (10amp fuse fitted), say 50 watts continual average for simplicity, therefore to consume 1kWh it will take...

Heated seats and wheel will make no difference.

Ohoh Okey Cokey

Is that a little unknown fact, or a little known fact ? Answers on a postcard please to....... :)

I think we have the wrong definition, you have not lost anything, it is merely the cost of having something you either love or need. If for example I go to the cinema I don't consider I have lost the money. * This is supposed to be a re-assuring post.......now how much have you lost on all the...

The A65 is quite an economical section, obviously of course due to the slower speeds. :D It's really the only sensible choice when intending to travel between the M6 and West Yorkshire.

The M62 can be a battery eater crossing the top.:) Done Leeds to the 'far side' many times.

I'm not playing

Where have you read this, all I've seen is a government denial. Doing a search anything that suggests a tax is dated way earlier this month when first reported by the Telegraph.
