      @@yissibiiyte it is because such big batteries are just installed in super heavy cars with 500+ horsepowers. We can go real life 350 km with our oldfashioned Renault Zoe with 52 kWh battery. But the Zoe is not super efficient due to its separated exited engine. So I believe the inster might go over 400 with our duty cycle.

      @@yissibiiyte Like the Porsche? Because obviously, huge motors, extremely heavy. Same way a light petrol car with a diesel engine (old Renault Clio e.g.) can easily go 1000km on 40L, while any Volvo needs 60L for that.
      The less power it uses to move, the further it goes. Kinda obviously.

      @@MrProthall you are comparing a diesel engine to a petrol engine. A diesel Volvo will also go very far. Perhaps not as far as a Clio, but very close. It won't suddenly get half the range like you're suggesting. A car being a bit bigger and heavier decreases the range by a small percentage, it doesn't get halved.

    Please make it a done thing to include battery chemistry. LFP (for example) allow overnight charging to 100% so realistically you get 100% to 90% usage.
    Lithium-ion NMC only recommend (generally) to charge to 80% meaning usable range is 80% to 10% (buffer) = 70%!
    Also of course the safety and longevity advantages of LFP are well documented.
    I enjoyed your appraisal overall but indicative acceleration times of 0-100kph would be useful.
    Keep up the good work.

      Actually a Tesla Model 3 base model will only be 7k more expensive, goes 20% further per kW (now officially 5miles per kWh, and I always beat the official 4.2 on my dual motor) and 50% further overall and is in an utterly different league. So while I love this car for being tiny, it really should be £20k fully loaded to compete with Tesla on value.

    Love this car already. I feel the front resembles Nissan Juke or Kia Soul than the Honda. As you showed the front and talked about overhangs, somehow I got reminded of our family Daewoo Matiz we owned 2002-2014, which I absolutely loved for it's looks and practicality, and had short overhangs just like the Inster here.

    I went to see this car at Toomey's in Basildon at it's launch a month ago. Yes, looks great and It's first on my list for a buy next summer. I have to park on the road but hope to have a gully installed to charge so the front charging point is great. I think having the charging port on a wing so that the plug and flap project into the road or the pavement are going to cause problems.

    I just don’t get this narrative. For years, the only EVs around were fairly small and cheap, like the Leaf and the Zoe (with Tesla as the only exception). There’s always been lots of choice in the hatchback segment, eg e208, Corsa e, etc. I’m as pleased as anyone to see the arrival of the Inster, the Renault 5, the Dacia Spring etc, but this whole story of there never having been cheaper smaller EVs seems completely out of step with reality

    I put a deposit down on one of these yesterday. I'm usually not a fan of light interiors on aesthetic and practicality grounds but in this case I made an exception. I saw the dark interior last week at an EV show here in Dublin and it just looked like any other cheap small car. Unfortunately the light interior is only available here on the launch edition which has a bigger battery that I don't really need and is only available in buttermilk yellow😂 Delivery in March, I'm thinking I'll get it wrapped in satin dark green and maybe some clear wrap on the sills.

    It has hand operated E-Brake that is operated via regen (actual brakes are not involved) for doing crazy flicks and turns,

    Question, do the seats give enough side support? Nice to see cheaper (note, not cheap. This spec is close to £30,000) EV's and some with some character now.
    Especially nice not to see another massive SUV.
    Doesn't quite meet my needs at the moment ( I need a car with 5 seats) but maybe one for the kids to drive in 3-4 of years when they pass their test. I hope it's cheap to insure. 🤞
