I don't know the answer to this but I will ask anyway. Is the Toyota a copy of the Subaru or the other way round ? Only reason for asking is that the Toyota was available in the UK a full 9 months before the Subaru. Answers please on a ........

Those Tesla chargers at Harrogate are miles and miles and loads of time from the A1M and no real facilities (in a garden centre car park). I wouldn't go that far off route. Wetherby Gridserve has increased the number of chargers recently and now has 29 CCS connectors and good facilities. It was...

As it's the only Toyota EV car presently sold in the UK/Europe how about

I did hear sometime ago, I forget the circumstances but there is something at the back of my mind that getting the next service done on time will re-instate everything. Don't take that as gospel but worth checking with a reputable dealer. Maybe @Miles Roberts CG could shed some light.

Not sure about still very early. Hydrogen has been the perpetual “also-ran” of car fuels since 1808. Throughout history it has been nothing but a sideshow compared to every alternative from steam to petrol/diesel and now pure electric. I suspect nothing will change in that department.

Slightly confused, what's an 88% increase ? Car tax (VED) is/was zero so is an infinite percentage rise or simply a rise of £195 each.

In the 70's I did pretty much know and could identify every car on the road by seeing just a small part of it. But there again there weren't as many different cars then as there is now.

Quite right too. I didn't buy a car to freeze my **** off in winter just to save a few miles range. The AC and heated seats won't affect the range anyway, it's the heater that does that. :)

From EV Database, but I'm sure if you ask on the MG4 forum they will have anecdotal answers for you. https://ev-database.org/uk/car/1973/MG-MG4-EV-Extended-Range

Agree with what you say apart from ABRP, it's hopeless at estimating range, I know my car and it's range better than any app. I decide which area/miles or time travelled that I want to stop, and look there for hubs before setting off.

I quite agree, particularly your last paragraph. However when my wife and I retired we felt we no longer needed 2 cars so only having the one it sort of needs to do the job of the 2 for us. One the economic around town car and the second the comfortable long range cruiser. Now I have a car with...

Why on earth would it be illegal to re-tax a car that is already taxed. Under normal circumstances this would involve you losing money as you lose what you have already paid for any remaining tax. However as yours cost £0 that is all you will lose, £0.

I like having range. My first EV was the Gen 1 ZS EV with WLTP c.160 miles and I changed that for 5 LR with WLTP of 250. I now have a Kona with WLTP c.300. I rarely need that much range but there is a certain comfort in knowing I have a greater choice of where to stop, and living in Leeds I can...

I managed front and back without taking any wheels off. A short screwdriver or one of those bendy attachments works well. After all not much effort is required so don't need to get weight on it. I bought one of these and has worked great when needed and saved much effort in not having to move...

I bought a second hand one, just make sure motor doesn't whine and and any recalls if needed were done and has full service history. Other than that no more than any other car to check.

Pedant alert, ..... Tayna, not Tanya although I'm sure she is a perfectly nice person. :)

Totally agree, end of problem and AC will NOT affect your economy. (heater will but not the AC so don't be afraid to use it Winter and Summer)

Octopus Go and Intelligent is any power during the hours.

The rear view of the car is much improved when the rear ones are on. :)

Wow, to me that is astronomic consumption. There are only 2 of us at home and have gas central heating so our seemingly low usage, , is making it hard, even nigh on impossible to justify investment in Solar and/or batteries even if I really really want to for other reasons. Our total usage of...
