    Great review, would love to see the Seal in the Design RWD trim as well, there's as many AWD videos out there as you could shake a stick at.

    Thanks for the review. Has it adaptive cruise control? Does regen bring you to a stop, for one pedal driving?

    • @catherinegrimes2308
      @catherinegrimes2308 10 месяцев назад +1

      I am pretty sure that it has adaptive cruise control. If you take your foot off the accelerator there is little regenerative braking and you need to use the brakes to bring it to a stop.

    • @NevoEVReviewIreland
      @NevoEVReviewIreland  10 месяцев назад

      Thanks Catherine. Yes, adaptive cruise control and strong but not one pedal driving.

    Great vid but I'm sorry to say, but the only thing I really like about this car seems to be the price... but I won't knock it till I try it.
    Derek would you know if there are any issues with charging an EV when you've got air to water heating installed in your house? I think I've heard they don't suit each other, what with their heavy draw on the old lecky.
    Thanks.

    • @NevoEVReviewIreland
      @NevoEVReviewIreland  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks for the comment Richard. Price is definitely a factor.
      Regarding the air to water, with such a heavy load on both, I assume you'd need a power clamp fitted and the charger would ramp down when the heat pump is pulling a large load. Not an electrician so best to seek professional advice

    Whoops....you used kWh for the charge rate when it is only kW for charging power. :) I like the pastel colours to be honest nice to have something different and less boring. First deliveries in Australia have started already in November so December should be interesting to see how it goes with entry level starting under $40k AUD.

    I am pleased to hear that the Irish don't like the pastel colours and they want "normal" colours as I think that it is the weak point on the car. Hopefully we will get "normal" colours in the UK as well, but hopefully not just black and white. I would like a nice metallic red or even better dark metallic green.
    My existing car will be 10 in January and if I need to replace it, the Comfort trim Dolphin would be a good contender.

      ​@@thomasflaherty476All the chargers for homes are 7kw at the moment and all are smart chargers but some come tethered and some come untethered. Basically with the tethered it has a cable that you just have to plug into your car but with untethered you have to plug into your car and the plug. It's just a matter of deciding which one you want how much you want ir can afford to spend. You pay the full amount to the company that does the installation for you which can be anything from a grand and up and then you get the grant back in 4 to 6 weeks.

    I like the outside much more than the two tone paints on the higher spec vehicles. I can’t get passed the interior trim with 2 tones. It just looks frivolous and silly. Pick a colour for the trim and use that.

      @@NevoEVReviewIreland The irony is you can’t order any combination, they don’t offer you a chance to “build” anything. That would not be much of a problem if their range actually catered for a range of tastes. Instead most of the combinations are best described as appealing to people who are likely to say “aawww how cute”. It is sort of a barby dolll aesthetic.
