Yes, at the right price. It's a gamble with something as expensive as an EV battery as it's lifespan will have a lot to do with the state of charge it was left at for18 months. But if they've only done three miles the state of charge wont be far away from what it was when new, possibly 50% which will be fine. The manufacturer won't charge them up to 100% capacity or anywhere near that as that reduces their lifespan if they're parked up waiting to be sold.

50 meters from my garden gate is an owner of three EV's a Tesla and two other junkers which I have never bothered to check what they actually are but I often see them plugged in and on charge. So when one of them goes bang as in the next 3 years could well be the case I wonder what will stop the three of them and the house going with it? Actually our power here is all overhead lines and is of course like running an electric shower for 6 hours at a time which you would never do so if you have three EV's you could need to have 24hours of 9KW power draw, 8 hours each. Really? Is there any sense in that? Oh and if we in this road all had a single EV they would have to demolish the houses next to the substations to build bigger ones as there is just not the capacity to provide this sort of power continuously. There are 105 cars in my road so that is almost an extra million watts peak current delivery just for my road if everyone wanted to charge their cars over night. Come on you bloody idiots do you really think that will work? And then they tell us to save the planet they will turn off the gas so everything will have to be electric. Where do these psychopaths get their ideas from? How big do you think every sub station will have to be to cope with that demand? Your EV will be remotely controlled so that you won't be allowed to charge it when you want or drive it where and when you want. You are being controlled and your new Valhalla is just a tease to ensure you engage with the psychopaths plan.

it is also the case now that some EV manufactures are telling owners not to park their cars near a house in case they catch fire. Odd that manufacturers of petrol and diesel cars don't say that.

[@JRM-VSR]

Middle of last year I grew a very EV friendly travel pattern. 2x 10 mile out, 10 mile back journeys per weekday, 40 weeks a year, an all-home-charging friendly pattern. This will happen for the next 5 years, possibly 7. Cost of petrol: £1500 per year. I figured I could save with an EV, so I looked at getting one. No matter which way I looked at it, it was cheaper to buy the petrol for my current car than get an EV, even over 7 years (that's over £10K in petrol). I looked at buying the cheapest possible EV as an extra car, buying a second hand EV or hybrid that was more capable and could actually fully replace an existing car, and even leasing one - both on salary sacrifice and privately. Everything was more expensive. The surprise killer was insurance, I got no quotes for any EV less than 4x the annual cost of my current car.

[@cvanscho]

Get a scratch on the bumper of an EV and they are likely to write off the entire car, as there may be an uncurable / unknown battery issue or something..

[@TrueSkyl1n3]

If EV’s covered all the bases that an ICE can do then this wouldn’t be happening. You’ll struggle to find an ICE car made within the past decade that couldn’t get at least 400 miles to a tank unless it was more performance-oriented (but even then you still could), a 10 year old Astra would get over 800 bloody miles to a tank. But you just know the first thing EV Shills will say to that is “well why do you need all that range you’re not going to drive 800 miles in one go”, but it’s not for driving it in one stint it’s the peace of mind knowing you won’t have to visit a fuel station for a long long time, EV’s on the other hand… We’ve been told for YEARS that “better battery technology is coming” yet here we are, a modern Astra EV that has 200 miles of range… if it’s not cold outside, and you don’t use the aircon.

Degradation can be minimized by having it at storage charge, about 50%, but it will still have degraded, maybe 1 or 2%. The carmaker are sneaky, however.

Love your impression of an EV sound. I always think of that song, 'Ernie, he drove the fastest milk float in the west' when I hear one.😅

[@BarrieCrampton]

two ton ted from teddington and he drove the bakers van

[@nothandmade9686]

The Y Is going to Newcastle killed me. So they are registering EVs to themselves and then reselling throughout the year to achieve Zero Emissions targets?

[@BarrieCrampton]

😂

[@StephenFinch-u3b]

I think they are all unwanted Christmas presents😅

How can an unused 2 year old battery be any good 😂 I had a new unused Apple MacBook that I won in a competition and I didn’t open it for a year and when I did it wouldn’t hold a charge so I had to get a new battery fitted at the Apple Store for £200

[@Penfold-8521]

It's dealerships getting their quota of ev sales at the end of the year so they can sell the cars people really want to buy. It's actually cheaper to sell EVs at a big loss than get hit with multiple government sanctions for selling ice cars people are buying before the mandated ev sales have been met. The times that the government has mandated something on the British people and they have accepted? I could count them perhaps on on hand, the majority being during war time.

[@DanRyan-v5y]

Last one was CFL bulbs iirc, that was a screw up as well.

[@AlfaBmwKarma]

Superb Barrie, keep ramming it home. Love it. 💯👌🏻

[@fredcapecchi9481]

The older ones have all burst into flames!! Banned to park on multi storey, and please don't put in the garage at home! That's the reason you have insomnia, get the neighbours round for a barbeque!!

[@martinj999]

Well done Baz, keep the pressure on

[@aorols1289]

Is just me or am I missing something..... Depreciation on most things have been ferocious. Porsches 911 petrol cars down £150k. Mercs down massively. This isnt just an EV phenomenon. The whole car industry is fkd. Whats really evil though is the massive hidden "sold" EVs hiding everywhere. When it all comes out every car owner will be hit massively. Oh well time to do another car scrapoage scheme that doesnt pay out😢 😢

[@dougie6886]

Oh dear, what a mess.

[@BarrieCrampton]

Tell me about it

[@steved7961]

Mess with the markets and stand back to observe massive, unintended and unfortunate consequences (but never for those who thought it a good idea).

[@Antoward]

Would not trust the batteries to go bang seen two go that way here in Ireland seen one go up in a Mac Donald’s drive true it half destroyed it in newbridge county Kildare outside Dublin and the fire brigade have to let them burn they can’t put them out once started

[@arcadeuk]

How many "environments" are being saved by having thousands of unused, unsellable EV's with half ton batteries strapped to the bottom of them, just sat in car parks/fields ?

[@Thunderbloke2]

Car sound impressions were wonderful! 😂

[@BarrieCrampton]

Glad you like them!

[@BagBreakerMMA]

Take a shot every time he says “Polestar, 73 plate, 2 owners, 11 miles”

[@BarrieCrampton]

even more today

[@ValMartinIreland]

An electric Nissan Leaf with 20000 km on the clock 2019 year. It should be worth £2,306,803 now.

[@the369truth]

Battery cars are a bad idea. They are disposable items and are temporary mode of transport.

[@butlerpa100]

Who wants an EV. Can’t drive from Brighton to Aberdeen without 2 stops of 2 hours each

[@suzylawrence6]

Pre registered vehicles have skewed the reality of car sales for decades it’s nothing new.

[@michaelparker5510]

They will never work. Listen to the experts in the field

[@Evo836]

China has thousands in fields rotting.

[@keithbarratt633]

If you work in the public sector, like the NHS, you can get a massive discounted lease deal to help increase sales figures.

[@weegaz22]

Clocking them prior to first MOT? If they don't service it and just run it into the ground which you could probably get away with more on an EV then there isnt really any "record" of it having any higher mileage that a new owner could check is there? Visually if you know what you're looking at you'd be able to tell, wear lip on brake discs, tyres with wear, etc cos at 1 mile you'd still see the Sprue's from the moulding process when the tyres were made.

[@hazrobson2305]

Sales up by 200% or 300% of what? 50. When they say percentage they are covering something up.

[@jamesdiamond820]

I had to do a 430 mile journey the other day .I put diesel in my Ford Connect van 90bhp ,14 plate , it said 480 miles .I Did the journey on one tank and I was thinking just imagine I had an EV I’d have had to have stopped somewhere to recharge

[@steffydog]

Nice one Barrie, keep up the good work and keep well.

[@TIG10109]

Haha,brilliant,myself I'm currently looking at buying a 20 year old merc 500 ,if they did a diesel 500 I'd buy it just for GRETA 😁👍

[@ClassicTrialsChannel]

Surely it can't be good for the battery basically sitting a year or 2 with that low mileage.

[@jackgrimes-wl8fb]

Even worse is the effect it has on the wheel bearings. If the wheels are not periodically rotated, with all of that weight on a point force load over time the bearings would suffer brinelling, making them brittle and prone to early failure.

[@jonniebosh2238]

I have heard on the web that insurance companies are now jumping on the bandwagon and charging unbelievable fees for EVs being charged at your property or in a garage because they could burst into flames, they are also refusing to insure your property if you have a home charger. Are they cheap???

[@bertiewooster3326]

YOU WILL BUY AN EV GOT IT! .....a government spookperson stated today!!.....

[@marcusaureliusanonymous]

EVs does not require fuel, EVs requires subsidies to run.
