And I totally agree with that sentiment, however I can't agree that making something like a motor more efficient is pushing efficiency beyond the economic optimum. As the motor does not affect anything other than the cost of it in a vehicle are Tesla motors so much more expensive than others to...

Very true, however you can put the same efficient Tesla motor in all of those or you could put a less efficient one in. My choice would be for the Tesla variant. Tesla car batteries vary between roughly 50-100kWh and body shapes for S,3 X and Y, but still an efficient motor. Why would you choose...

They may have their details on a database but it is not the BG database. What sort of database is it? What details do they have and are they the same details? Are they in the same format? Are they complete? New processes have to be written to do conversions and the new data has to be integrated...

Just too expensive. Is the Kia PV5 coming your way ?

...and I thought back hair was bad enough.

I'm not sure at all what you mean by pushing efficiency beyond the economic optimum. Motor efficiency is motor efficiency regardless of battery or vehicle size. Given a choice of a more or a less efficient motor I know which I would choose.

I have just fitted those on my Kona all round. I went for the VW version with ratings of A,A and 67dB. They are definitely quieter on the road but maybe a bit less 'bumb absorbing' than the Primacy's that were on before.

You can usually set your laptop to prioritise or prefer 5Ghz in it's settings. Makes sense for the EVSE to use 2.4 as that's best for getting a signal further and through walls.:)

I have never had a Tesla and probably never will (purely for car reasons nothing else) but I do admire their efficiency.

I agree that most of the proposed 'solutions' are way too complicated and relatively easily open to abuse. If we start with the simplest solutions: 1. MOT records mileage so problem solved from first MOT onwards. 2. Sale of cars is solved by simply making the recorded mileage compulsory on...

Well done on getting a decent quote from Saga in the first place, they have always been horrendously expensive for me wherever I have lived or whatever car I have (FNCD).

My response was to the @MG Clive post regarding taxing home EV tariffs.

For those in the UK. So let's say I put in 30kWh overnight on my EV tariff, how is that going to be taxed at 3p/mile ? Say I get 4 miles/kWh average over a year, then that's 120 miles so £3.60 tax. That equates to an extra 20p/kWh added. So even at an EV rate of 7p/kWh (27p/kWh with the tax)...

It is but who reads descriptions !!! Skip straight to the table. :)

That's a good comparison list but remember they are all average prices, so you will need to get a quote for your area for the exact price/cost.

Nice idea, I don't know but does it need any ventilation for when it's in use ?

For anyone wanting to compare the annual costs of the tariff they are currently on to a different offering to see whether it's worth switching, please see the attached spreadsheet. It can be difficult to decide as standing charges vary and rates vary by area and of course your own usage, but...

So say 16.000 miles a year. Current fuel duty on fossil fuel is 52.95p/litre plus VAT, total 63.54p/litre or £2.88/gallon. (at 4.54 litres in a gallon) 16,000 miles at 50mpg (let's be generous) is 320 gallons 320 gallons fuel duty is £921. EV - £500 ICE - £921. Not as bad as ICE but still hurts.

not very well though.... 😂

That's because you live in 'Cruising', it's an expensive area.
