I'm quite annoyed about all this green energy we are paying more for our energy to protect the environment while governments are firing missiles and dropping bombs all over the place
Who is going to pay for the upgrade to the national and local grids to cope with charging 30+ million cars, 2+ million vans, and 500k HGVs even if only half charge over night? The taxpayer that's who. Did the taxpayer pay big oil to create a refuelling network? No. My rough calculation is that charging these vehicles for 10 hours overnight will need about 60-70GW additional capacity. Current peak demand rarely goes above 40GW so 2.5 times more in the glorious age of Zero Emissions driving. Aye that'll be right
I think the only thing that is different about MOT’ing and electric car vs petrol or diesel is there isn’t an emissions test, everything else is applicable. It’s a test to check the road worthiness of your car, so brakes, tyres, bushes, suspension, corrosion, lighting etc all exists on an EV.
@Wil-nh5kz Unless an oil leak is bad, it would not fail. From the testers manual: "You should fail a vehicle if a fluid leak creates a pool on the floor within 5 minutes that’s more than 75mm in diameter or if there are many leaks which collectively leak fluid at the same rate."

The oil check is so that the emissions test run will not damage the engine. According to the government website the vehicle could be failed (not tested) if the tester believed the state of the engine oil or coolant was such that the engine could be damaged by the emissions test process. So technically correct the oil level could lead to a fail indirectly. Every days a school day! 😀 www.gov.uk/government/publications/car-parts-checked-at-an-mot/car-parts-checked-at-an-mot#more-information
Yeah but you’re totally missing the point. It’s not that the car is an EV which has caused the recall it’s just a bad design by Porsche and it could have been on any of their ICE cars. You think their ICE cars have ever had recalls? I don’t remember anyone saying don’t buy a petrol Porsche because of some totally unrelated bad design.
Lee ÷Evs should be m.o.t the same as petrol or diesel cars. Engines ,gear box's etc aren't checked in m.o.t. Suspension,bodywork underneath,lights ,wipers etc.
I've still got my 200SX from 2001 which is rapidly becoming a collectable vehicle. The more I hear about modern cars (not just electric), the more I just want to keep it. 41000miles and still runs perfect after 24yrs of ownership with no advisories.
Lee. A while back I commented on a VW brake hose recall on my Ma-in Law's 3k miles Polo, which VW tried to charge her for as 'fair wear and tear' because the car was by then out of warranty. At that time I was a specialist applications engineer with one of the world's largest heatshrink manufacturers and was subsequently able to prove to the UK Vehicle Inspectorate that VW brake hoses were suffering from a dangerous manufacturing fault. My involvement, much to VW's chagrin, caused a worldwide recall of all VW's small to mid-range sized vehicles to resolve the faulty component problem. It would appear that VW and their associated brands may not be quite the champions of quality and safety they wish us to believe and are not above trying to pull the wool.
It's all a cost cutting exercise: maybe buying in parts from overseas instead of making it all themselves so that they have full control over quality. I have heard of brake hoses with cast metal couplings instead of the traditional (but more expensive) machined from solid parts.

Great to meet you at Porsche Leeds last week Lee. I think I must have been lucky with my brakes recall as mine went in the day after the recall was announced and they had the parts in stock, my car just happened to be in for service that day. I would say the brakes seemed to feel a bit better after the recall was done, but could just be mind tricks. And if it’s the technician I’m thinking of at Porsche Leeds he’s absolutely brilliant, he sorted out my seat too. They are great down there.
If Porsche are made aware of an issue such as yours may have and dont inform you.. Your brakes fail and you crash, they will be liable as they knew about the defect. . If they make you aware (as they have) and you still choose to drive and then crash then they wont be liable. . Thats why they have "recalled" them without being able to fix it.
Putting the ‘urgent’ recall shifts the legal onus on to YOU. The fact that they can’t get the parts, therefore you will be without your vehicle for the foreseeable future is supposed to leverage you into continuing to drive it until they get the parts. And if you crash the vehicle as a result of said part’s failure, that will be on you; personally, actually, because your insurance will be voided. And you will be personally liable for any third party damage or injury.
@@rwkh10 What? No emissions test? Sounds like an easier test for the 'EVangilists' 😆 perhaps it should be a cheaper test considering they don't have to test so much 👍
Just because they haven't got the parts doesn't make the car safe. They have told you about the danger just to cover themselves legally. Now with no parts available to make it safe again they are telling you how much you matter as a customer...
That's where it comes from anyway, but it has to have a Poor-shh badge on it to comply. A replacement hose would probably have the same problem, unless it was a batch fault.
I have a Citroen C5 hdi 2011 361,000km and I've had no problems at all, come back and report if your ev gets to that figure, then you can say it's the best car you have ever owned not at 3 years old and barely any mileage on it.
You'd think, with an electric motor drastically reducing maintenance issues ( less moving parts ), the rest of the car would be top dollar parts, but they never fail to fk up still.
I had an ICE Porsche in the past. Make a tyre for an EV tyre that can be repaired like an ICE tyre Make an EV with a range of an ICE that can do 500+ range. Make charging from anything to full in 5 or 6 minutes like an ICE car to fill the tank. And only then, if I could afford an EV, I would get one. Where I live is on street parking only. Local Tesco, less than 5 mins away and it's full of fuel. I can go from south Wales to Carlisle on a tank, the only stops are for a pee. So no expensive motorway fuel prices or charging for me. The labour government under Blair and Brown were harping on about how good diesels were. Remember that? Tories doing the same with electric. I'm sorry but give me an ICE car any time. I'm not going to swallow any government's BS any time soon. If you have at least one brain cell, neither should you..........
What is so special with about brake hoses on a Taycan. Brake hoses on all cars are made of the same material all they need is brake hose and clips problem solved.
This electric thing must be coming to an end. We got electric scooter, electric cars, electric bikes, ekectric buses it's too much. Look what happened when we electrified chairs? Ted Bundy wasn't impressed,
My 18 year old Honda CR-V just had a recall. For an electrical issue with the the 4 window switch panel in the driver’s door. Booked it in for one week later. Took it in on the day and 20 mins later job done. Buy Japanese.
The only difference between an ICE and EV MOT would be the emissions tests. They do not "check" your engine on an MOT, they will give you an advisory for an oil leak that's about it. The MOT is for the safety things, lights/tyres/breaks/suspension joints etc so all the same stuff on both cars.
Not true about the oil. My car failed with a major on an oil leak so they can fail it. It's like an amount of fluid that leaks in a certain time or something like that 👍🏻
@@Richard_Barnes Fair, I didn't mean they couldn't fail it just its a visual check likely a 1min check with a light. I'm guessing yours was bad to fail though!
they don't check "breaks" on a test, that is what they have after finishing one. They check "brakes" and every aspect of the system, be they hydraulic or air.
They don't check oil on an MOT. They will check the same as any other car, suspension, brakes, lights, steering, body rot and emissions. OK that last one will be different.
Urgent, means that the lawyers are trying to absolve themselves of legal liability!! IE do not drive until the brake hoses are replaced!! Drive at your own risk¡!!!
The beauty of an ICE vehicle that is 10+ years old is you can get in it and just drive instantly. No charging, no stupid sensors, no setting buried away in screens etc. Open the door, turn the key and go.
🤔 An easy way of removing vehicles parked on your property. Jack up each of the wheels, place go-jacks under the wheels and push said car to your desired location. Preferably next to scrap yard. 😏
Electric car MOT testing, there's still a lot to test on an EV so brakes, suspension, steering, tyres, wheels, lights, indicators, body condition and structure (for corrosion), windscreen, wipers, mirrors, doors and locks, seat belts and restraints, horn, etc. While EVs obviously don't have an engine and exhaust to check for emissions and oil/fuel leaks, they do require other things to be chacked instead such as high voltage system integrity (no exposed components/intact insulation), battery pack condition (damage/leaks), charging port (good condition and secure) as well as any Acoustic Alerting Systems (for pedestrian safety). 🤓 I do feel for you with the brake hose recall issue. I had similar with my car that had a recall for the driver's airbag, the fault being that it may incorrectly trigger with excessive force causing injury, yet until they could get the parts they said "Oh it'll be fine"!
The MOT on a milk float is the same as a combustion engined car. Checking oil is not part of an MOT. The only thing that a milk float isn't tested on is the exhaust emmissions. Everything else is exactly the same.
It doesn't matter how an EV is styled (If there is such a thing???) because there's nothing more that turns me off than knowing it's powered by a pile of batteries.
The mot Test will be much the same as for any other car i.e. brakes steering lights, suspension, tyres in fact everything minus exhaust emissions. As for the car on your wife's drive, if it is not stolen and no police interest in it then it is a civil matter. You are quite within your right to remove the vehicle from your drive but you must not leave it in a way that it is committing an offence, i.e. obstruction, for which you would be liable.
They could probably rob the brake pipes they need off one of the mountain of unsold EVs. After all its unlikely they are going to find many buyers for them
Precisely, its driven by a fault being identified as something that could lead to failure and consequently potentially death to the occupants (fire / no brakes / no steering etc etc) Therefore the manufacturer needs to rectify it asap and ultimately sort the cars or provide replacements whilst sorting (I had this experience with a bmw 330d I owned and the egr cooler needed recalling….amongst the long term hire cars they gave me they also sorted me an m3 competition for a weekend for the inconvenience, hats off to BMW harrogate, I almost feel bad that I don’t go back for servicing etc )
So today I saw the man who’s done more holiday reviews than Judith chalmers , the man who’s had more fish and chips than captain birdseye 😁 but more importantly the man who talked me out of buying an EV 👍🏼🍺 , I’ve been a long time subscriber and saw Lee at the traffic lights today coming from EMA to the M1 , thanks for returning the thumbs up mate 👍🏼 I’m the bloke driving the castle rock brewery van 😁
If there was a hole in your brake hose you would know pretty quick as there’d be a loss in brake fluid and pressure. Oil isn’t checked on the MOT of an ICE car.
One day, after it all goes pear-shaped. We'll end up with horses pulling carts. Real horse power! Aside from the folks from the WEF and politicians who'll be driving ICE cars.
I had an urgent recall with my Clio hybrid to do with the gearbox temperatures. I’ve had the software update, but there’s a bug in the system and it’s caused problems with the dashboard. We have to wait for Renault to make another update.
I can't believe that a modern car has a gearbox that can over heat .I have never heard any car from years ago that could have a gearbox that over heats .even my 1975 xj6, automatic has never had an over heating gearbox .all motorists are being rip off with computerised cars .👎👎👎👎😬😬
Definitely agree with the green! Bronze or black wheels! You will likely find the brake hoses suit 20 different vehicles which is more likely the reason for the shortage. It’s still stupid of them. Your mate is right about recall… it’s not an EV thing… in fact, at least with an EV you can use regen, unless it’s fully charged LOL
I'm fed up with comments from people ridiculing EVs. They don't know what they're talking about. Personally, I drive two top of the range EVs, a Jaguar and a Porsche. Their acceleration and handling is fantastic. They look brilliant and they're really cheap to run. They need hardly any maintenance and haven't depreciated since I bought them. Literally the only criticism I could make of them is sometimes, if I really push them into a corner, they can fly off the track and get stuck under the sofa....
I keep telling you, Lee, after the lease agreement expires, get the best 911 turbo or whatever you can afford. Then keep it. The value will go up over time.
Remember when Porsche made brake parts that didn't fail, and didn't require multiple expensive computers in their cars to tell you if you were low on brake fluid or had any other issues? Pepperidge Farms remembers... ...so do owners of cars that were made simpler, more reliable, and much, much cheaper to repair when they did have issues...
mot didnt check battery safety on an EV? my mondeo (i.c.e.) diesel failed mot as i forgot to put battery holder strap on after putting new battery in the week before.considered unsafe because if i had a crash then there was a danger of shorting out the battery if it fell from the battery tray. compared to my 12v lead acid how much more power does an ev car battery have?

You'd think, with an electric motor drastically reducing maintenance issues ( less moving parts ), the rest of the car would be top dollar parts, but they never fail to fk up still.
Geoff has taken pity on you and got a real car for you to use!
Porsche are cars for the people who have to much cash to burn. My Honda Civic is 3 years old now and all I ever pay is $35 a year for oil change.
I had an ICE Porsche in the past.
Make a tyre for an EV tyre that can be repaired like an ICE tyre
Make an EV with a range of an ICE that can do 500+ range.
Make charging from anything to full in 5 or 6 minutes like an ICE car to fill the tank.
And only then, if I could afford an EV, I would get one.
Where I live is on street parking only. Local Tesco, less than 5 mins away and it's full of fuel. I can go from south Wales to Carlisle on a tank, the only stops are for a pee. So no expensive motorway fuel prices or charging for me.
The labour government under Blair and Brown were harping on about how good diesels were. Remember that? Tories doing the same with electric.
I'm sorry but give me an ICE car any time. I'm not going to swallow any government's BS any time soon. If you have at least one brain cell, neither should you..........
What are they going to check? Everything they do on every MOT except emissions
Mac, the next time you go to the stealaship you need to say "Hello I'd like a 911 turbo please " or ask Geoff for an old Volvo, a proper car.
How can a new car have that problem 🤔
That Macan is yet another brick on wheels that could be anything.
What is so special with about brake hoses on a Taycan. Brake hoses on all cars are made of the same material all they need is brake hose and clips problem solved.
Probably had to make them out of hemp to make the car meet it's ecological recyclabity targets.
This electric thing must be coming to an end. We got electric scooter, electric cars, electric bikes, ekectric buses it's too much. Look what happened when we electrified chairs? Ted Bundy wasn't impressed,
😂😂😂
Look at the states and with all the massive floods they're having, water is getting to the batteries of EVs and burning down homes!
My 18 year old Honda CR-V just had a recall. For an electrical issue with the the 4 window switch panel in the driver’s door. Booked it in for one week later. Took it in on the day and 20 mins later job done. Buy Japanese.
The only difference between an ICE and EV MOT would be the emissions tests. They do not "check" your engine on an MOT, they will give you an advisory for an oil leak that's about it. The MOT is for the safety things, lights/tyres/breaks/suspension joints etc so all the same stuff on both cars.
Not true about the oil. My car failed with a major on an oil leak so they can fail it. It's like an amount of fluid that leaks in a certain time or something like that 👍🏻
@@Richard_Barnes Fair, I didn't mean they couldn't fail it just its a visual check likely a 1min check with a light. I'm guessing yours was bad to fail though!
@@Sean-tn5nv yeh I see what you mean now 👍🏻 I wasn't impressed with the cost of my repair. Hey ho, we love it really 😆
Am mot is a minimum standard on the day of testing . The brakes will corrode due to lack of use .
they don't check "breaks" on a test, that is what they have after finishing one. They check "brakes" and every aspect of the system, be they hydraulic or air.
They don't check oil on an MOT. They will check the same as any other car, suspension, brakes, lights, steering, body rot and emissions. OK that last one will be different.
No to measure emissions you take your electricity bill or charging receipts/bank statements and they calculate your emissions that way 😅😅😅
Urgent, means that the lawyers are trying to absolve themselves of legal liability!! IE do not drive until the brake hoses are replaced!! Drive at your own risk¡!!!
The beauty of an ICE vehicle that is 10+ years old is you can get in it and just drive instantly. No charging, no stupid sensors, no setting buried away in screens etc. Open the door, turn the key and go.
That car blocking your charger driveway looks like a Volvo estate 🤔 do you know anyone who drives one? 🤔
Have a search for custom brake hoses, make some up and sell them to Porsche.
🤔
An easy way of removing vehicles parked on your property.
Jack up each of the wheels, place go-jacks under the wheels and push said car to your desired location.
Preferably next to scrap yard. 😏
That new Macan looks totally anonymous like most of the SUV's nowadays.
As Geoff said it looks like pretty much every SUV on the market. The Porsche SUV's are pretty much VW SUV's made to go faster and be sportier.
Electric car MOT testing, there's still a lot to test on an EV so brakes, suspension, steering, tyres, wheels, lights, indicators, body condition and structure (for corrosion), windscreen, wipers, mirrors, doors and locks, seat belts and restraints, horn, etc. While EVs obviously don't have an engine and exhaust to check for emissions and oil/fuel leaks, they do require other things to be chacked instead such as high voltage system integrity (no exposed components/intact insulation), battery pack condition (damage/leaks), charging port (good condition and secure) as well as any Acoustic Alerting Systems (for pedestrian safety). 🤓 I do feel for you with the brake hose recall issue. I had similar with my car that had a recall for the driver's airbag, the fault being that it may incorrectly trigger with excessive force causing injury, yet until they could get the parts they said "Oh it'll be fine"!
Oh well don't drive it until they can fix it, bugger that.
The MOT on a milk float is the same as a combustion engined car. Checking oil is not part of an MOT. The only thing that a milk float isn't tested on is the exhaust emmissions. Everything else is exactly the same.
Your correct other than we do check the oil before we test the emmissions.
@@maljfoth1i have never seen oil checked at an mot test
@@curtisj2165 "seen"?
@@stpfs9281 yes seen, I always watch my cars being tested
It doesn't matter how an EV is styled (If there is such a thing???) because there's nothing more that turns me off than knowing it's powered by a pile of batteries.
what was the bad news ?
The only electric car I would buy is a scale electric.
"I think you might find" that it is unwise to drive a vehicle with an unremedied recall defect. Insurance may have something to say.
car in the drive and it looks like a volvo, only one name springs to mind
I have not looked at this channel in months, clicked on it today and it’s like I never left. Same old crying about EV if it’s that bad get rid of it.
The mot Test will be much the same as for any other car i.e. brakes steering lights, suspension, tyres in fact everything minus exhaust emissions. As for the car on your wife's drive, if it is not stolen and no police interest in it then it is a civil matter. You are quite within your right to remove the vehicle from your drive but you must not leave it in a way that it is committing an offence, i.e. obstruction, for which you would be liable.
volvo 850 is from geoff buys cars......he said that he has present for you
Just what I was thinking got to be Geoff !
Shusy Shusy ! Haha
Why is an all electric car badged as a turbo with turbo logos on the seats?
It has an imaginary turbocharger 😂
They could probably rob the brake pipes they need off one of the mountain of unsold EVs. After all its unlikely they are going to find many buyers for them
Chop it in and get a Cayman 4.0 GTS manual, with no options. Ultimate daily driver, what a car.
Think I’ll stick with my Toyota Land Cruiser commercial and the ‘46 Ford Super Deluxe Coupe, waiting for the synthetic petrol to be readily available.
Cool
Sensor for opening charging flap 🙄 Whatever could go wrong with that !!!
120 grand for a car and you don't have spare brake parts to fix your design failure? "Shame on you Porsche, shame on you."
If the Porche Macan is all electric why does it say turbo?.
Love the Asda t shirt, I have the same one😂
My Taycan is awaiting the recall parts and no ETA as yet, it’s shocking service
Your car has been discontinued, sorry you need to dispose of it.
The fact that Porsche is unable to respond urgently does not affect the urgency of the recall. Surely you must see that?
Precisely, its driven by a fault being identified as something that could lead to failure and consequently potentially death to the occupants (fire / no brakes / no steering etc etc)
Therefore the manufacturer needs to rectify it asap and ultimately sort the cars or provide replacements whilst sorting (I had this experience with a bmw 330d I owned and the egr cooler needed recalling….amongst the long term hire cars they gave me they also sorted me an m3 competition for a weekend for the inconvenience, hats off to BMW harrogate, I almost feel bad that I don’t go back for servicing etc )
should you ask Geaff about the Volvo on your drive
So today I saw the man who’s done more holiday reviews than Judith chalmers , the man who’s had more fish and chips than captain birdseye 😁 but more importantly the man who talked me out of buying an EV 👍🏼🍺 , I’ve been a long time subscriber and saw Lee at the traffic lights today coming from EMA to the M1 , thanks for returning the thumbs up mate 👍🏼 I’m the bloke driving the castle rock brewery van 😁
If there was a hole in your brake hose you would know pretty quick as there’d be a loss in brake fluid and pressure.
Oil isn’t checked on the MOT of an ICE car.
Volvo 850 on the drive.....Geoff... who else😂
Engine is not part of a MOT only the emissions the engine emits
And oil leaks from engine!
Wont be long before replacement brake pads and or tyres cost more than the car is worth.
If they find holes in your brake hose then you’ve been driving with no brakes!😂
I'm glad I'll be dead before this EV codswallop becomes compulsory.
This is a ten minute video at most. Usual padding and repetition.
I was thinking the same thing
Why do you watch this channel if you know already that you have to moan
Takes longer to charge a POS EV!
So why are you watching this?
@@andyclark6649 His names Derek 😉
One day, after it all goes pear-shaped. We'll end up with horses pulling carts. Real horse power!
Aside from the folks from the WEF and politicians who'll be driving ICE cars.
If the new Macan showed is an all electric one, why has it been badged as a turbo?
Phycology !
I had an urgent recall with my Clio hybrid to do with the gearbox temperatures. I’ve had the software update, but there’s a bug in the system and it’s caused problems with the dashboard. We have to wait for Renault to make another update.
I can't believe that a modern car has a gearbox that can over heat .I have never heard any car from years ago that could have a gearbox that over heats .even my 1975 xj6, automatic has never had an over heating gearbox .all motorists are being rip off with computerised cars .👎👎👎👎😬😬
How does regenerative braking perform in an emergency stop?
It doesn't
No hesitation with that money trap - get the warranty. 'A car for Miss Piggy' 😅 great video 👍
Geoff one government one car.simple.❤
Definitely agree with the green! Bronze or black wheels!
You will likely find the brake hoses suit 20 different vehicles which is more likely the reason for the shortage. It’s still stupid of them.
Your mate is right about recall… it’s not an EV thing… in fact, at least with an EV you can use regen, unless it’s fully charged LOL
Geoff doesn't buy electric cars.
I'm fed up with comments from people ridiculing EVs. They don't know what they're talking about.
Personally, I drive two top of the range EVs, a Jaguar and a Porsche.
Their acceleration and handling is fantastic. They look brilliant and they're really cheap to run. They need hardly any maintenance and haven't depreciated since I bought them.
Literally the only criticism I could make of them is sometimes, if I really push them into a corner, they can fly off the track and get stuck under the sofa....
" haven't depreciated since I bought them" that means you must have bought them today.
I keep telling you, Lee, after the lease agreement expires, get the best 911 turbo or whatever you can afford. Then keep it. The value will go up over time.
@peterjeffries75 You might be getting the Turbo mixed up with a limited production run model there old chap, like the GT3 RS, GT2, 911R, etc.
I agree with Sir Geoff as that Porshe looks soulless and could be any other car.
Remember when Porsche made brake parts that didn't fail, and didn't require multiple expensive computers in their cars to tell you if you were low on brake fluid or had any other issues?
Pepperidge Farms remembers...
...so do owners of cars that were made simpler, more reliable, and much, much cheaper to repair when they did have issues...
Just ask Geoff
😂😂😂 5:39
What will the MOT test? Ever heard of things like brakes and suspension, bearings etc?
It's aVolvo, be that Geoff.
mot didnt check battery safety on an EV? my mondeo (i.c.e.) diesel failed mot as i forgot to put battery holder strap on after putting new battery in the week before.considered unsafe because if i had a crash then there was a danger of shorting out the battery if it fell from the battery tray. compared to my 12v lead acid how much more power does an ev car battery have?
LEEDS good choice 👏...stick to my Fiat Panda roads are all the same. Full bill of health
