Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
I’ve done almost 97,000 kilometres in mine in 2.10 years and would expect it to achieve well over 600k with no battery issues if I were to keep using it (we’ve now got 2 new EV’s) on a regular basis. I would expect that if I was in Thailand with a high ambient temperature I’d get a higher range and ...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
Electric pick-ups? These vehicles will be off the road more than on. They’ll be unreliable, prone to fires, needing constant charging, and the supplier will probably go bankrupt leaving the buyer with a worthless asset. You’re welcome. :roll: :roll: :roll: If I replied, it would be deleted :cheers:...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
I definitely believe that governments across the World are rushing the EV or nothing rules to fast and should possibly move back the no new ICE cars to purchase to 2040. Having said that and despite being a dyed in the wool petrol head (owning several V 12 E Types and a diesel), EV ownership suits u...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
When you buy an EV does it come with a charging wire (Length?), the male end insert, and the needed base box/parts that you can have an electrician install on your house. If not, does the dealer sell them as "accessories"? My EV came with the following in the UK. 1. A cable that can be us...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
I’ve not really considered the latest Chinese offerings that have hit the UK shores, but reading that article on the Seal isn’t likely to endure me to them. I never have been a fan of large screens that operate virtually every single thing in the car, and not to have Navigation built in to me is a b...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
She’s 5ft nothing, but she’s a typical Thai girl, nothing phase her, plus, like the Soul, both these cars have very good HUD’s so she won’t need to peek through the steering wheel to see how fast she’s going. 🤣 May have to get a small ladder for her to get up into the car though. 🤔 We had an Adventu...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
Ok for some!! I’m sure you’ll have many years of trouble-free motoring with those. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Didn’t mean to buy either of them, but took the Soul in for its MOT and saw both in the showroom and the rest is history. The wife hasn’t even seen either of them in the wild and on...

Our Kia Soul FE has now done 57K miles so it’s going into hybernation and we’ve ordered 2 new ones, a Kia Nero EV 4 and an EV9 Gt line 6 for end of April delivery.

Re: Ceiling/roof insulation
We have the spray foam insulation in our place and the difference in retaining the cooled air inside is extremely noticeable. Someone mentioned about using this type of insulation in the UK. Mortgage companies are dead against using it and most won’t give a mortgage on properties that have it instal...

Yes, although I very rarely pop in to the forum, I’d be happy to donate to keep it going.
