Great job! Fun video. Good chemistry between you. Thanks
Thanks Brian 💛
What a refreshing video, great content! Thank you for sharing! ⚡🔌🚘
well done guys youve really pulled together on prod value for this video, the sound mix is consistent, and love the focus pull on the outro 2 shot
Didn’t think anyone would notice that! Thanks! 😍
Big up our INCREDIBLE team who work so hard behind the scenes 🤗
Brilliant guys, great video. And such a lovely part of the world too.
You two knock it out of the park every time you collaborate together. Love this video.
Thank you Liam that is so kind!
Aw thank you! Petition for a Tish and Eilis series? 😉
A petition for a series definitely gets my backing. Let me be the first vote
Brilliantly friendly and happy film! I managed a 260 mile round-trip in my Zoe on Tuesday, costing about £21, (£6 home, three-pin charge and £15 in the Greater Manchester area). The big problem was mobile phone coverage which messed up app downloads .Also my mobile battery was only trickle charging on a low car battery! I should have booked a room, too!
Absolutely loved this video
What is truly amazing about how cheap the electric car is for a road trip, is how the overnight accommodation comes free as well 👍🤔😁
What can I say, I did say Eilis has impressive negotiation skills 😉
@@AutoSocialUK yeah i don't know how she negotiated a hotel overnight stay and a fancy one as well. Well she did have like 50p left
Thank you for this beautiful presentation. This Citroen C4 is beautiful. The end was a dream.I seem to have transposed myself there next to you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant content ladys love the ec4
Lovely fun road trip. Great to drop in all the car features, especially the HUD and driving technology. It really promotes the allure and attractiveness of EV adoption.
At 3:48, I was initially confused by the time label until I realised you meant the actual time (ie, 11:36AM and not a predicted duration of 11:36HRS). So in the end, the journey took about five and a half hours. If you were doing any significant energy savings (eg, average speed, no unnecessary heating since you were wearing coats, etc), please mention. Thanks 😄
Excellent video, there should be more trip video like this one!
You guys should also mention that the Tesla destination charger was free to use even for non-Tesla EV. Don't need an app or credit card.
Good call!
More of this, please. Plus Eilis would be a great road trip buddy :)
I bring the tunes, the chat and above average directions 😎
I see how it is…. I’ll stay home next time 🤷🏽♀️
@@Electroheads haha. I'll bring the snacks 😊
Great fun vlog , felt like i was there with you two .
That's great to hear 😊 thank you!
We need more videos like this, but please add in real details like time on charge and what that does to remaining miles
Thank you we'll bear that in mind!
you should consider doing more car reviews together. There are ICE car review channels where the hosts appear as a duo. But I don't think there are any EV channels featuring two hosts. Tish is very detail oriented and Eilis is fun. A perfect couple.
hey nice to watch content, TY
Super video! Top Tip -- get and use the Tesco Clubcard as you save loads of dosh these days! and Annamite weekend!! (fossil nerds will love this joke hahaha
Like the idea and the story. I did think at the beginning you were going there and back in a day
Hi! This is such an amazing video, love the ladies who review this! Can i place a request? I'd love to see everytime you mention miles somewhere, there's also the KM mentioned next to it, i can't translate it without any converter how much the Mile is in KM. Love to see that!
That was fun. Does the car have massage seats?
Wonderful video, nice relaxed format in reviewing cars! Congratulations beautiful women and great professionals, hugs from São Paulo - Brazil! **Quietest subscriber on the channel...**👋🏽
That car looks beautiful
What a nice video, the car looks much nicer now, the ladies are just gorgeous
Looks like Swanage Bay not Studland Bay to me! Nice trip!!!
I would have such a fun time road tripping with you two beautiful ladies. :) Loved this video!
Love the J5 reference!
Nice trip girls !
Thank you! 😃
Red e-c4 is beatiful.❤️
Great road trip, you guys make it fun. Can you please give tec details while you drive. I have an id3, I’m usually watching and analysing data. Most ice drivers at the moment are had to convince.
Thanks for the idea we'll keep that in mind for the next one 😊
I do this all the time in the LEAF using Volt and dealer network
I can t believe you ve got 0.77 fancy hotels, there
10.30 Which hotel was it that you were able to stay at for 77p?
Those sort of hotels are to be avoided if you value your reputation......
You guys are the new ant and Dec of the ev world. Let's have another team up soon
The price is right 👍
You can also solar charge by day and drive at night like Trinity
Who was the girl that was with Ellis? I could not tell because Ellis smile was so bright, it brought the sun to a rainy UK day :)))
If I may be "that guy" for a moment, the Jurassic Coast starts at Old Harry Rocks so Studland Bay isn't quite in it (according to Wikipedia so it must be true 😂)
Nice to see smart Girls Loving electric cars 😉
How was the range impact by using the Aircon? Does the EC4 have heated seats?
We possibly had the best weather for it, not too hot, not too cold. One of them that you don’t even really need the climate running however the impact of Aircon was minimal. The biggest thing for the e-C4 was speed staying on nice scenic 40/50 roads are where you see optimal usage ☺️
@@AutoSocialUK Thanks! Awaiting arrival of a new Soul EV Maxx... so getting my EV Geek on :)
Aircon doesn't have a huge impact. It might knock 5 miles off a 120 mile trip.
@@Brian-om2hh I’d say it has the potential to do so, especially on a long run with no topping up. I’ve typically seen 5-15 miles on the range depending on driving mode Vs next to none using heated seats / steering wheel.
Great fun. Conversational car reviews are the best format. A bit more critical discussion on the car please, including your own differing views. Bet you had a sneaky go on the steam train to the castle
Thanks so much! It was so much fun to film. Noted on the discussion we'll bear that in mind 🤓
The problem with free charging is that you spend money on food instead. These days I try to just drink water & go for a walk whilst rapid charging rather than buying junk food!
Simon says Hi . 😉
Right here in the youuu Kayyy
U K HUN!! 🇬🇧
@@AutoSocialUK yewww Kayy
You should maybe do a road trip camping.in car videos! Sleep in a car, EV heating.etc. maybe kiss a little good night. It would be great!
wait a sec ...the Citroen is 152cm in height ...
and Eilis is towering it , so how tall in Eilis?
6ft?😯
Ha! I've done 1200 miles so far for free since November using only free chargers :D
This guy gets it
Where do you find free chargers?
Me too but now circa 10,000 free miles ! Don’t tell anyone else Ryan !!!
@@AL-ib3lu East riding council have them everywhere until 2024 but if you use zap map you can filter the free charging points
The big problem is, you can’t drive that far without charging unlike a normal car. In fact I can go 600 miles without stopping and even then it only takes around 3 minutes to fill up again. No hotel required at all!
So you're telling me you drive from London to John O Groats without once stopping to eat, drink or pee? Sounds super fun 😂😂
Your location on the map for the Jurassic Coast is incorrect. Sorry, but you need to drive past Weymouth and on to West Bay or Lyme Regis. However, I did enjoy the video.
The range is still much to short on most of these cars. This one would be fine for most of my journeys, but I still need to drive long distances (Hamburg - Passau, or Toulouse) so I would have to hire a Tesla. In that case I might as well buy one. In the meantime I'll make do with my Merc GLK which has a range of 850km plus.
Solar panels on my home roof,my E-c4 costs nothing to use,, on average i drive 140 mile per day costing nothing pence beat that..
Eyelash. I fell in love with you with your curly hair. It was the first video I'd seen of you. I realize I'm misspelling your name.
Prawn cocktail crisps??? No way !!! Apples are the way forward
What about BOTH 😍
For earthquakes, absorb earthquake energy, timber house.
Christ. Car looks brilliant, the humour however was really quite grating. At times really quite wince worthy.
"you don't read papers"
😂 Damn I could hear that bitch slap across international borders!
Great video ladies!
She’s only teasing 😉 And she’s not wrong!! 😂😂
Is this for real? I have seen some daft rubbish on yt but wow! Wow!
Let me try again ... A'lish. I grew up in a non disticct part of the world. Now, I live on the otheer side of the world in a non distict place
My only criticism is it didn't seem like a review it seemed like a paid ad 🤔
Tish is great and very attractive! But, I like Eilis!
Two nice nieces going on a road trip. What an amazing video.
Always good to see you here, Dave ☺ thanks for the lovely words as ever!
@@Electroheads No problem.
Right who sponsored this 🤔
Three questions from me:
1. How long did it take to plan this road trip? (fossil fuel cars don't plan, they just start the road trip, but don't think they would get out of London for £25)
2. Is this car suitable for a family of 4? (two adults and two kids, compared to Hyundai Kona Electric)
3. Are you able to compare cheap (err.. affordable) Entry level cars together, please, please please? (MG's, Kona, E-Niro, C4, Zoe, I.D.3
1. Abrp or equivalent apps do it as easy as you do gps.. it actually is a gps with addon for ev charging based on your cars capabilities
2: ... depends.. can you live with the boot space?
3. Up to them
Also.. If comparizon.. I would DEFINATELY have gone for the Cupra Born or Renault megane e-tech in this segment now. But if you value comfort above else? Citroen is in another leauge. Their tech and app draws it down though. Source: I own a citroen e-c4
@@Brandofviti New Megane seems very promising. As long as people sitting in second row don't sit with knees to the eye level (like in Tesla 3) it should be fine.
@@kirank46 good choice.. I very much agree with you since my citroen is for sale and I am expecting my renault in 2 months time :p
Great video, interesting car that I’d not seen before. Shame the story arc apparently needed to include booze given the context and audience demographic.
Nudist beach at swanage bay ?.😜 aw damn.
So how do you know about the nudist beach then? 😂😂
@@Electroheads oh , 🤪 I lived in poole for a few years and it was brought to my attention whilst ,,, um out for a walk when my clothes accidentally fell off . 🙄. Great video ,,Well done to you both .👋more adventures please as it was great to see you out in the wild.
That's the economy run ruined by the big case! 🤣
Guilty!!
So basically a 11 minute video to tell us to use Tesco free podpoint chargers?
Can I join you next time ?
Bring the snacks and you're in!
Remember guys..Never drink and drive ..
Free chargers are paid for by others. It's why it's a joke price to charge up. Nothing is free
LOL CHARGING COSTS ARE SKY HIGH NOW. Not much different from PETROL. DO YOU NOT REALISE THAT ELECTRICITY TARIFFS ARE GOING CRAZY AS WELL??!
Hope you are not using lane control because on nearly every clip you are across the white line
I like clumsy girls! Just saying! No relation to involved girls! :-D!
Worthing. A town for living fossils.
Mädels ihr wurdet betrogen, denn das Lenkrad ist auf der falschen Seite. 😉
Mmm. So free charging, is it free? I am asking ecologically speaking rather than the money. If people are actually interested in the planet, rather than shiney, shiney oh its new, before we change to EV, we need to get a handle on non essential miles. Oh and it would be interesting to know the cost per mile since the 1st April cost increases in electric. Some electric supplies have nearly doubled in price. If your 5p a mile was before the price increase, some people may be paying as much as 8p or 9p a mile. This does not relate favorably to an economical ICE that costs roughly 12p and obviously costs far less to purchase.
Would rather we got honest videos rather than "Marketing for EV from the Thought Police."
Octopus Energy increased their overnight EV charge rate from 5p per kwh to 7.5p per kwh a few weeks back. That still means it only costs me around 2.5p per mile in my Kia EV, assuming I'm getting 3 miles per kw, which isn't difficult, as I see that on the motorway often enough. And, unlike an ICE car, an EV is actually more economical in towns and cities.....
EVs take so long to charge the cost of Tea , Coffee and biscuits while wanting to charge will. superceed any fuel costs 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♀️
Are you saying you eat for 7h non stop?🤣
@@HologramJones if you are travelling with family, they will expect something from you when you stop the car
It would be a bit cruel or awkward to say we need to stop however you get nothing nor you will be allowed to go to any nearby shops 🤷🤦
@@niceboy60 and you don't do that with your ICE car?!
@@niceboy60 you don't prepare anything for your family for a long journey?
@@HologramJones There's a difference between choosing to stop and being forced to stop
Its simply about choice 🤔
1 - Where
2 - When
3 - How long
4 - Abort a Stop if basic conditions are not met
So you too made a 3 hours long trip in almost 7 hours. That's brilliant. Next time try on a bike, it is only 11 hours and even more environmental friendly...
🤣🤣🤣🤣It causes more than 70 % more pollution to manufacture than a normal car, and you'd need to keep it for 9 years to offset it. It's a con. If
Journey to 100k 😎😆😎😆🙂🙂🙂☺
Eyelash, my bad.
ICE Dinosaur here! I will never ever own an EV. They suck! Try doing the North coast five hundred in an EV! Not going to happen. Can you imagine finding charging points free in the highlands and islands!!
You mean like when 30 electric cars did the North Coast 500 rally together last year? Do keep up at the back, Roland x
