Kia Soul and Nissan Leaf and e-Corsa seem to offer the biggest discounts for the affordable end of the market. Keep up the good work.

The government are now talking about grid management in the pursuit of net zero by rolling blackouts. Is this going to be a selling point for EVs?

[@ridbanner1407]

So let me understand this . The government kicks the EV incentives in the gonads with all the ULEZ and ROAD TAX resets and their value increases AT THE SAME TIME ??? Something seems wrong here.

[@daveblack5109]

66% new cars go to fleet users so £4½K a year less tax than ICE for business users.

ULEZ is an EV incentive.

[@ridbanner1407]

@@EbenBransome Electric vehicles (EVs) are exempt from the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charge in London due to the Cleaner Vehicle Discount (CVD). However, the CVD will end on December 25, 2025, and EV owners will need to pay the ULEZ charge after that.

I'll say it again...49% odd can't charge at home' i read a bloke got done by the council because he bought an Ev and ran a cable from his house across the path to his car , his excuse was the only fast charger in his area cost him a fortune and his car kept being vandalised ....wake up people its coming our way.

More than half of all motorists have unsuitable driving patterns for Diesels, half pay extra insurance because they park on the road. I'm afraid that's the way the world works. You've got till at least 2050 (assuming maintenance) to keep your petrol car, what is the problem?

[@GT380man]

@@EbenBransomeagree with you on diesels, but there’s a low cost solution. Consider it part of the maintenance schedule to plan a journey of decent length and moderately high speed periodically. Most of us go somewhere beyond a local bimble periodically. I feel strongly negative about EVs and I have good reasons to hold these opinions.

[@GT380man]

@@EbenBransomeBy the way, do you really think that despite the push towards EVs, successive governments will permit petrol vehicles to pootle around? I’m almost certain they won’t. Nothing about what’s happening in relation to private, powered transport makes sense. This means the reasons we’re being given for the switch (“the ostensible reasons”) aren’t the real reasons.

[@tonyfleming2669]

Maybe the fast "EV days to sell figures" are based on the time from the latest price reduction, which for the cars that sell is when they finally become attractive to a purchaser. Those cars which don't sell after sitting for months or years could then still show a short sell time after their final price reduction. Just a thought.

[@GrahamNewman-mq7gr]

Barry. Have you seen the latest " CHINA DUMPING EVs. IN ETHEOPIA ( Africa) YES" . They do not have the Electric Supply to boil kettles 24 hrs a day. The price of these EVs in Etheopia is only a fraction of what they are here . ( People have no money to buy them not selling another dumpimg operation by "CHINA"

[@niged]

Excellent vlog Barrie. Whats your thoughts on the pending EV sales short fall, currently 18%, against the UK Government's target of 22% of total 2024 sales to be EV's for vehicle manufacturers? At £15k fine per non EV sales, could equate to millions of £'s of some manufacturers? Will they pay the fines? What will the UK Government do if manufacturers dont pay? How can manufacturers afford to pay these fines? Will this cause manufacturers to pull out of the UK market? Is this issue worth a vlog??

[@GT380man]

I too am wondering. I saw Tony EV Carnage’s proper piece of journalism on this yesterday. He’s to be congratulated for reporting this at all, because as far as I can tell, nobody in the mainstream media or the trade is drawing attention to it. Extra brownie points to Tony for “showing his working”. The aggregate commercial fine looking a little over £1,000 million. That’s based on no worsening over the next two months. Colder weather is a stronger negative factor for EVs than for ICE, so in the usual course of events, the ratio of all sales that are EVs would be expected to worsen (fall) going into winter.

[@EbenBransome]

We've been driving EVs for two years, and have yet to need to charge away from home. We don't do a high mileage, and in fact we are a net exporter to the grid from our solar panels.

[@GrahamNewman-mq7gr]

Have you worked out the "CASH LOSS ON THESE ELECTRIC LEMONS" for the milage you have covered. Probably another private person who has a Dream World Vluation of his car.

[@EbenBransome]

@@GrahamNewman-mq7gr You know what? I really don't care. We have an EV for the driving benefits, and I expect to keep it till I can't drive any more. I'm sufficiently well off that if it was totalled tomorrow I could just replace it for cash while the insurance got sorted, and not even think about it. A petrol car loses over half its purchase price in the first three years. After the 2008 crash, people leasing often found themselves in negative equity at end of lease. Selling a Diesel in London is like trying to get rid of herpes. If you can't afford to play the game, get out of the casino.

[@GT380man]

May I be nosy and ask if you own or have access to an ICE car? Personally I’ll decline to own an EV, but I could make a solid use case. It’d be very unusual that, in the usual course of events, that I would ever need to charge up away from home. There’s a psychological barrier which is stronger for some than for others. Apparently, according to several publications based on clinical observations, humans feel a loss about 5X more intensely than they perceive an equal sized gain.

[@EbenBransome]

@@GT380man We sold our ICE car a year ago. In the worst case we would hire, or even buy an ICE car for cash second hand and sell when it was no longer needed.

[@StuartPearson-mj7uz]

Well prehaps the government should have looked at how much electricity the electricity supply industry can supply before they started pushing electric cars . If they are talking rolling black outs the more electric cars there are plugging in the demand will increase and if the reports in various newspapers are true the supply is already struggling to meet demand.

[@Hitstirrer]

A cars value is what a buyer is prepared to pay. Not what a spreadsheet says he should be prepared to pay.

[@GrahamNewman-mq7gr]

Unfortunatly. When it comes to cars a vast "MAJORITY " of buyers are INFLUENCED by newspaper / media blurb and make wrong decisions . They generaly overpay and pay the price later on ..."EVs are a example of work in progres .

[@davebaker8362]

Looked at I d buzz the difference between we buy any car and the retail on one was £10,000 a lot I looked at 23/24 models had less than 100miles does this indicate that they are not selling, what is going on

[@chrisaris8756]

You have time for car dealer? I don’t see the magazine but I have watched his car selling channel and frankly he seems a complete drip.

[@chrisaris8756]

Got to disagree a bit Barrie. Price might be a factor but the reason I (and I reckon most people) won’t buy an EV is batteries. They have hopeless range - you stick have to stop on average at around 150 miles and spend the best part of of an hour spending a fortune on charging - that’s the main block for me and I cannot have a home charger where I live. Let’s hope that Trump dismantles net zero in the states and then the muppets here will follow suit so we can get away from this nonsense.

[@mellarner8253]

Secondhand EV’s will always be hard to shift, they tend to go to private buyers, who tend to be more savvy, again, many will not have charge at home options, range remains an issue and the risk on the battery without a cast iron and lengthy warranty just makes them far too risky and in a cost of living crisis, not many will take the financial risk. Am ICE is always a risk of course, but much less so.

[@timfallon8226]

Is the report from a company owned by Ed Milliband?

[@ogasi1798]

they may be 'great value' (value being a matter of perspective as i think they are dumb vehicles) but if people don't want them they are just parked up milk floats waiting to explode - if i gave a shi7 about the cost of living (and i do, i have a family of 6 and it's f'in hard) i would not be looking at a bloody ev, i would be making my savings with what i already own - cutting back on outings, walking more and so on - that is what we are doing
