    Eilis travels to another country and does the entire video in selfie mode on her own, and it's still better and more informative than 99% of other car review channels. I wish I could be that charismatic and entertaining, but I guess that would mean getting out of bed and going outside.

And OUCH! Let's compare with stuff that's included in my mid-range Lexus Lbx, which you wouldn't fit in the back of ... I have full vegan leather, HUD, footwell lighting, LED automatic headlamps, and premium paint (blue) with a contrasting roof. Many of these are options in the KIA 3, and the HUD and Heat Pump are only available in the GT/S, so you're paying for the sunroof and 4 heated seats ... click a couple of necessities and you get to £45,847 (plus delivery and destination I presume).

      This brings up the topic of "Luxury Car Tax" (rabbit hole level achieved): from April 2025, anyone buying a new car (electric or otherwise) that is priced over £40,000 will face £165 in tax. As well as this, they'll need to pay a £355 expensive car supplement every year from the second to sixth year of registration. The annual tax drops from year seven to the standard rate (£165). My Lexus was £34k or thereabouts, but being a hybrid meant the road tax goes with the emissions.

    Hi Electroheads: What do you think it is going to take for the industry to back the Velo mobile format. Everybody is doing e-bikes. Hundreds of models. But not one successful Velo mobile…..i.e. some type of enclosed bike that you can pick up your kids and do a grocery run in the rain on and use the bike lane still. It seems like a logical step, but maybe the market is still mostly fair weather cyclists or bike snobs???

  • @boswellwhanau
    @boswellwhanau 4 дня назад

    The biggest problem with pretty much all these reviews is quoting the range as being something you will be able to get and never pointing out it’d merely number when in reality the real world range will always be significantly less than that claimed by the manufacturer 🤥 Having said that, something around 300 miles is still a good amount of range for an EV!!! 🙌

    • @rogerevans425
      @rogerevans425 3 дня назад

      Currently I have a 2nd generation Niro EV, and real world range throughout spring/summer/autumn has been 264 miles - very close to quoted range. (Not so good now in Winter - about 230 miles). KIA/Hyundai have always managed to get very close to the quoted range in real life (provided driver adjust driving style to electrics), so would expect to get very close to what they quote.

      No - you had the rain stop, but a minor point. You do great work and the EV3 is a very good EV. Something I missed mentioning was the small screen you find hard to see is available in the visible large screen, so no loss or inconvenience really. You have the added choice of moving your head to using the menu, and I reckon if you had moved it to the left and slightly forward it would have been easier than to the right.

Obviously, car prices are rigged by the industry, but here we are seeing a car which the governments want us to adopt, yet at the same time leave put people in debt for many years to pay for it. There are just too many people in the supply chain adding to the final cost to the consumer. Yes, this applies to any new car, but this is a far more cheaply made car, designed to give the consumer a false feeling of buying into sustainability, when the fact of the whole supply chain from mining of raw materials to delivery to the showroom is never factored into the sustainability model.

      ​@@stevoc9930they will be wasting the money on a car like this at that price. There are too many businesses taking a chunk out of the costs, so it all gets passed on to the buyer. If that buyer can afford it, that doesn't mean it's value for money or even a good choice. Obviously, they are free to spend their money how they want, but they shouldn't be hoodwinked into buying electric vehicles at this price range just because of a video. Hopefully, they will do their due diligence and find out more about what they wish to purchase and consider a range of alternative offers.

      @markdonovan1540 With an EV there are savings to be made though. Most of them are Tax free and the running costs are a fraction of a petrol/diesel. And I don't mean just fuel. ICE cars once they get a few years old start clocking up maintenance and repair costs. I have an EV car and a Diesel van. Ev going on 3 years costs me 5 quid a week to charge and I've yet to pay for a repair. Much less moving parts that can go wrong.
      My Van is now 5 years old and now averages 1-2k per year just to keep it on the road. Tax, service, Psv, tyres, belts, brake discs, wheel alignment etc since 2022 it's probably cost me 5 grand. It was the same with my previous Diesel car. EVs are more expensive upfront but have cheaper upkeep.

      New Golf petrol is £27,000 so it’s pretty comparable now. Agree totally overpriced though!

      @@ISuperTed the reality is all cars jumped up in price after Covid, consequently there are virtually zero cars available today that offer value today, most are overpriced! My opinion of course 😀👍
