Here at DrivingElectric we admit that, while EVs are the future, they’re still pretty expensive. Not for long, though, as the Dacia Spring is coming to the UK to buck that trend, with an expected starting price of under £20,000. But is being so cheap a good thing? Join Rich as he finds out.

How To Charge An Electric Car: EV Charging Explained - DrivingElectric
Get a 2 year old one that depreciated 50% and then you have a real bargain. It is ideal a a 2nd car/short trips car, and if you have solar at home it soaks up some of what you would export, so effectively costs 8p a KwH, or less than 2p a mile to drive. Apart from an early test to see if the DC charge port worked, i haven't paid for a charge.If you do a 120 mile round trip, you can charge up over the next 2 or 3 days at 3 hours a session, to soak up the solar excess.
I just bought a 70 plate sr+ for £11,500 (22-6-24)
Is it just me or the maths in the ten minute charge test just don't add up to the additional range???
I wonder if it's big enough for me and her to get in the back.
What a waste of time review. It’s like comparing a dog and cat and asking which one barks the loudest.
Peugeot 508 gt ❤225hp plug in hybride is much better
this is rather embarrassing.
Yeah the sound of the engine coming through the SPEAKERS!!!! is riveting. Nice motor though. The future is bright. But alas it’s not electric. ‘Disposable’ cars are not a good image or buy.
you are also dullll
As a 2016 Model S 70D owner i would have to agree. Granted, it all depends on your preferences. I went with my 2016 Model S 70D because I’m a demon for speed. Although the acceleration is faster in the newer model 3’s the speed is nowhere close to the older S models. But again as i said it comes down to preferences. I don’t commute far plus i need more space for me and my gf to go on hikes and scooter riding. If you want luxury with speed, comfortability, and performance and don’t want to break the bank go with the model S. If you like technology, the fact u gets more mileage, care about the warranty, or want all the new bells and whistles then I’d recommend a model 3.
"She’s Like the Wind" 🎶 ..
She has no clue about how good Lexus is!! Its unreal!! 😅
Lexus = will not break!! Good luck with plastic toys like BMW and Audis 😂
fake again hij kan de batterij ook opladen als je rijd voor dat je een vedeo maak zorg dat je alles kent van de auto
روعه جميله، سياره فولفو
My guess is, this Woman was paid off by the "other" car manufacturers to give this little fire fly a bit of a drenching.
I average 50mpg which is pretty much incredible for a car of this size which packs a 2.5l petrol engine. What’s she on about?! Sport mode there’s a clear difference, terrible review.
In plug-in hybrids, if one drives in EV mode, does the gas engine mechanically work without combustion (like pistons moving, etc)? Or is the gas engine completely at a standstill?
She likes German 🇩🇪 co *ck
Why don't they have a station wagon version???
Doesn't make much sense. Why not just make the engine recharge the battery continuously, like a full hybrid🤔. Just hauling around extra accessories, for what ?
this was not a review,
Worst ever review
Next week: “why isn’t the Prius as fun to drive as a bmw 330i”
it tracks ewe too
nag nag nag nag, lol, about really minor things
Is it really a cvt?
I like you .
I would take the insane reliability of Lexus over anything else. Who cares that you might spend more money on fuel when the engine will last you 40 years.
Toyota is absolutely responsible for Subaru's downfall.
Did this ever happen? In Cali these would sell. 8)
How is it driving during the winter cold weather
👍
Know what else ? Theft of Service Leaders in an educated opinion. I was a field service tech for Cummins Allison 852 Feehanville Drive Mount Prospect, IL 60056... They make money counting equipment however ,this is what ya deal with, half assed refurbished parts and to top it of they told me not to do the preventative maintenance anymore at customer sites just run the vacuum a little bit and wipe down the machines (make it look good). I was like "But that is gonna make the service call numbers go up and is >theft of service< WHY ? Well they wanted to keep selling new equipment every 3 years or so as the stuff would have lots of problems see ? With At Will, I was fired...SAD HUH ? Country is in TROUBLE...INVESTIGATION is needed asap folks. I thank you. BTW
I am going from LEAF fully electric to the PHEV RAV 4. Buy second hand it is much cheaper
It's very useful video...
What is the price in the US ?
It's a bloody hybrid you daft cow. The motorway driving is always going to be lower than town. Who hired this woman? Daddy is the producer? It's not got a turbo, mpg is easy to get high 40s, low 50s around town. Clueless.
The video didn't accomplish what the title suggests
It’s true Lexus should have a non hybrid option
Forgot to say that the space in the Jag is so cramped not good for family i dont know where she get that the jag is big no its very cramped
The sad part is, there’s not many fast chargers in your state. Not only that most charge stations cost $.20-$.50 per watt
I have a Toyota Prius 2020 hybrid and it's a very impressive car, the energy Monitor in the mid display looks amazing but not sure if the wheels animate, you can also change the middle mid to display different information, I'm also liking the big satnav screen just above the joystick, the car normally lasts me 2 weeks on half a tank of petrol, I can't seem to find a charging section on the display for the electric motors, also, the car has no Android auto which is disappointing but all in all a great car all round
A smooth cool experience.
Gas... short for gasoline. You know exactly what I meant... 😒
Model S is way to large for typical British roads!
Just bought one ...very pleaded
The difference between Europe and the USA. 0-60 a properly exciting car. In America most reviewers would call that barely adequate.
Well atlest speed cameras will struggle to catch you going over the speed limit in the GWiz.
Excellent advice for a dinosaur like me who hasn't taken the EV plunge yet. Keep up the good work Grace, we need sensible stuff like this to inform our decisions. New subscriber.
