They are not electric cars they are battery operated cars.only charged by electricity

Which is the best supplier, in your opinion, for roadside charging? I'm based in Weymouth, so most of my long trips are still in the south of England. Don't want to be getting umpteen cards, as I suspect I'll only need a top-up very occasionally...

I just bought a new tv and was so confused why they all seemed to be so terribly rated for energy

Doing the same search again, on AO in 2024 and there are now 9 F and 1 E (and 13 G) rated OLED TVs, so it would seem they are starting to get more efficient

Which 'HOLE' would that be Stephen? Regarding the review. Very informative. BUT 3KWM? I get 4 easily and often 4.5. Also in the summer I was getting 313 miles to a full charge, now, in January 2024 I am getting 252 miles to NINETY % charge. I suggest you stop driving in divers boots ;-) and put you plimmies on!

That energy take is for full brightness, and HDR. plug in your tv in energy meter to see real energy takes! Nobody use TV for full brightness.

For lane assist is there a hardware that works with this and others cars, search for comma openpilot, it is a better system, near Tesla. It is real, and cheaper.

If you were looking at a 2nd hand EV now (£20kish) would you go for an eniro

Hi, thanks for this video. About to buy a '4' trim of the MY2020 KIA e-Niro and gutted to find that the 4+ is so much better. Do you think I should still get the 4 without the Sunroof, memory seat, ventilated and rear heated seats, BSD and speed limiter, etc? Will like your opinion and thanks for the video.

They probably rate so bad because of the incredible short lifespan and horrible built quality.

Found this video interesting as Google News posted a story about Topgear doing a video about driving round the M25 in EV’s 😂 Strange that was so last year 😂

why is oled more power inefficient than led ?

I had a 42 plasma tv from Panasonic (one the first models that came out at that time). Using a wattmeter, I realized that thing sucked 300W ! Now I use a TCL 55 inch that only draws 50W and between 17W and 20W if lower the brightness. Not sure I can find something better for that size.

My 21 inch CRT consumes 35W and was on like 300 hours a year, basically using like 10kWh. My 32 inch FullHD Bravia was on 2 hours a day, and it uses 75W, so that is 55kWh. These OLED TV's do like 100W and run for 3-4 hours a day, that is 127kWh. My CRT deserves a A-label posthumously.

The C2 (also 55" version) dropped down to 81 kWh/1000h and the newer version for next year is expected to go even below that.. truly amazing how much things change in a couple of years

Didn't know the energy scale changed

We ended up with the 4 plus plug-in as in Hove where we used to live in 2018 they were no chargers and we were living in a flat and the council was still making up their mind to put more chargers but now we just got ID3 tour s and we have a charger at home after moving out of Brighton.

Can't understand your accent

120v is the Standard/30 hours to fully charge your EV, 60% of the Electricity comes from Fossil Fuels. Wonder why Nobody is REALLY Buying EV's as a REALISTIC Car? It's Bullshit. Go to a Freeway corner where there is a gas station, Imagine ALL Of those cars connecting up to chargers... Can you imagine the LINE of cars? Get in LINE! Wait till they're all out there and you try to plug in to FAST CHARGE and there's a BIG Truck in front of you. The Electric car was "Invented" Before the ICE car. Wake up and get real.

For the same price maybe slightly cheaper you will be getting a second hand Model Y with autopilot and sentry mode. Like come on, why anyone would consider any other brand is beyond me

I’ve been looking every where for a good explanation of kWh/1000h and finally a explanation that makes sense! Thanks a really informative video.

Hi, how many real miles can you get on the motorway in winter on a full charge?

how to pay each time you charge your car at the public station?

good things cost kinda sad but i would not go back active speakers and oled just too nice experience

Thinking using o eniro for taxi work so in eight years the clock will be 280000 ish do you think the battery could take that kind of punishment.

Informative video but the background music is too loud

Useful informative video, intrusive background music though.

Now we're 5-6 months on from this review, what's the alternatives? Skoda Enyaq? VW ID4?

Lol love the video and sense of humor

good honest review

I just bought my 2020 Kia Niro EV Plantnum Edition about a month ago here in the States. I absolutely love it. I get about 4.5 kw per mile or whatever the number means. I'm pretty new to this numbering stuff. All I know o get 245 miles every morning I'm head out at 80% charge. My job is about 42 Mike's from my house. I get home with about 159 miles left and that's using the AC going, lunch time, and coming home in 93 degrees weather here in the south. I drive using cruise control snout 65 miles per hour. I love the Kia. I'm happy with it. Very efficient EV. That's for your videos. I love them.

What cars coming now have 10-15 minutes recharge time you're talking about? 😮

Hi E.V. Does it. On March 1 this year the energy ratings for T.Vs were reclassified in that a set @ "B" rating previously became a "G" rating under the new terms. This was introduced to remove the confusion whereby A+++ , A++ A+ and A had developed in the system previously. In any case your TV is currently costing about 1Penny per hour to run, - not bad value don't you think?

Had mine for a year now. Efficiency is between 4 to 4.5 miles per kW for me. So consistantly getting between 260 to 280 miles on full charge, more than stated EPA range. This is in line with the recent real world range tests of current EVs by Edmonds, www.edmunds.com/car-news/electric-car-range-and-consumption-epa-vs-edmunds.html. The heat pump loses me less than 5% at worst. Without heat on during cold winter drive, range took a dive but recovered range when heat turned on, minus only 5% then. So use the heat when it's really cold.

How much did that charge cost?

Good video! Do you actually get 220 miles? Like you could drive 100 miles and then home again and arrive home with 20 miles left? Or is that just what the car tells you but it drops 5 miles range for every 2 miles you actually drive? We have the E2008 and the range clock starts at 196 miles, but then we drive 70 miles on the motorway and the remaining range drops to 60 miles 🤨 So real world range we probably get 120 miles per full charge.

Any thoughts on differences in 2 and 4+ . Kia e niro is cheapest and saving of government grant is important consideration.

I Have recently found and subscribed to your channel as I am due my Kia E-Niro 4+ in the next week. It is surprisingly difficult to find information on the 4+ model so it has been great to see that you own one. I looked at cost of my Audi Q5 on PCP and worked out for 10,000 miles per year, I could save almost £300 per month by switching to a leased E-Niro and of course charging at home on a cheap night rate. Paid 3 months up front fully maintained at £405/month. I ordered ot months ago and suffered a further delay due to the Governament grant changing. Leasing will be a new experience for me.

Thanks for another great video

Thanks for your great review and video enjoy your car ! Nearly brought one just the 12 months wait list put us off .

Good honest review, but whilst you had no real difficulties my overall impression is that getting more charge was pretty constantly on your mind and the frustration of trying to get one of the charge points to work. Hopefully when I may make the EV switch towards the end of next year (22) both the charging infrastructure and the vehicle ranges will have improved somewhat, this is simply not an issue with petrol/diesel vehicles.

I currently drive a petrol vehicle, also Kia, and am pretty happy with it, but will probably change it September 22 when it reaches 3 years, and have been considering an EV for my next car. I suppose with newish technologies there are always going to be improvements on a pretty regular basis, so whenever I take the plunge I’m sure more improvements will come along soon after. It’s very useful to have your real-world experience so thanks for taking the time to pass it on.

Do you like the sun roof?

4 chargers in 500 miles. Blimey that’s a lot. I would of thought 3 80% chargers would of done that trip. It might be a good idea to remove the roof bars when not needed to get a bit better range. But I’m with you I would always head for the insta volt chargers mainly because they are one of the most reliable ones

I had a road trip from bath to the lakes and back again .. every single ecotricity charger worked .. and i also used some instavolt chargers. Averaged 268 mile range going 75mph on the motorway.. not sure if Kia accidently sold me a bigger battery in my 4+ haha

Sorry you had such a bad experience in Plymouth. We are getting there, it just takes us a little longer down here !

Yes a great car, but just ordered an EV6, the rate of progress in EVs is astounding. Yes Teslas are very good, but the competition will take a huge market share.

On the hole a good review video. But waiting for that next generation Hyundai and Kia my guess is 9 to 12 months and at the Kia e Niro 4+ spec will cost considerably more money. My advice if your in the market for an Ev now I would recommend the e Niro or if you can live with the looks the soul Ev first addition which after the grant now costs £32400 and is very well equipped. As for the range of your Niro my cars showing 224 miles range with 76% battery left I can see regularly 300+miles from here on though to September/October admittedly I’m not belting up and down a motorway. Overall I like you love the car it’s quick when you need it to be (overtaking) and economic as well as being comfortable and a good boot size for me

There will always be a better car on the horizon whatever and whenever you buy and will probably be Chinese by the look of it !

Good review, thanks for sharing it!
