Fill it up overnight on octopus tariff and it’s so cheap it’s ridiculous. Get some solar panels on your commercial building and your building and car will cost next to nothing to run.

Exactly what we do, cheap as chips. Any long journeys, zap map is your friend, never had any issues charging away from home.
@SuperAwaugh5 ай бұрын
Exactly the same here. 2000 miles for around £35 over the past 2 months using Octopus overnight tariff. If you’re running 1 long term, spend the £1000 on a home / office charger and you will make your money back.

I've done 20,000 miles in the last year in an EQE. Never had a problem with charging, 90% charging is done at my house, or at my final destination such as hotels or business car parks. I've only motorway charged about 20 times, and most of those times were just a small top-up because i was doing 500 miles so needed to add an extra 200 miles to get home. Best thing about an electric car is you can roll onto your driveway with 5% charge, and wack it straight onto charge and leave next morning with a full battery again for almost no cost. Maintenance schedule is every 2 years, literally just brake and suspension inspection and cooler level check. Drove down to southern France and did 80 minutes of charging to hit the alps over 12 hours each way of driving so super easy, 3 charging stops each direction to add 200+ miles of range, stop after 2.5-3 hours to strech your legs and wack it on charge for 25 minutes. The self driving is out of this world, and makes long drives seem zero effort.

EQC range is not 150 miles - taken one from Cheltenham to Cornwall on less than a full charge , that was 220 miles. Get yourself a Zappi charger for home buddy on Octopus . full charge about £4 to £8 depending on battery size and charge added

Beautiful car. Saw one in the flesh two days ago for the first time and fell in love. Way out of my budget though.

I've got a BMW I5 I get 300-340 miles on a full charge. There's chargers near me that are 300KW for 36p or 38p per KW I don't have a house charger either so far so good

I have owned an EQC for four years, I have never experienced so low milage, even during winter in Norway. During Summer, the WLTP has been like 220.. Don*t you have electict outlets at your new place dealership, why do you charge at public chargers?

Archie what are you waffling on about mate, I have a model 3, I have done 50,000 miles in 18 months, I charge at home and on superchargers, a full charge (20-90%) on a supercharger is about £20 for 250 miles and I can charge for 8p a kW and get 4 miles per kW. Charging at home from say 10% to 90% is £5.40p. A charge overnight every night and superchargers / public chargers when you need. I saved £3k in Fuel alone last year and £7k if you include company car tax. Electric is great if you have a home charger.

I run an Ev work van range is crap costs a fortune to the company to charge up on the networks and losing hour plus a day. If was charged over night at home def more practical!

Good video. The size of your country and your usual radius from home matters with EVs. I live in Ireland. Nowhere's more than 300 miles / 500km away. Any further and you're in the sea. Most EVs would work for me. If I were doing a thousand miles every weekend (London to Glasgow, maybe or Paris to Nice), it'd probably get tiring stopping to recharge a couple of times each way but you need food and a leg stretch eventually. And if you're driving such long distances, why not just take a train whenever you can and get a bit of work done.

Pool car? An EQe? When I worked at the Ford dealer in the late 70's the boss never let anybody use his car ( a Mk II Granada 2.8i ghia) they could use some crappy used sales car or the company van! All the salesmen had company cars of course - escorts mainly and if you were really good you got a Capri.

Talking about charging price is fair. However you have to always consider how much you save on the uo keep.of the vehicle. Its has around 30 moving parts. An ICE car has over 2000... Yes. Lets be smart. Its the total ownership. People spend too much time on charging.
@c4a5m33 ай бұрын
So if you bought an MB EQC you wasted your money. Got it. Why should I trust the new and improved is really improved. No thanks on EV's. I keep my ICE cars.

EV cars are phenomenal. Expensive to buy new but great value on 2nd hand market. Very very cheap to run if charged at home overnight at low tariffs. People are so naive.

If your going to clock a car, get it done before each service and MOT, done it a few times and car vertical and these so called experts never knew. it’s about £300 each time you get it clocked, but come sale time, you’ll get the cost back.
