Also 4.5 hours and 40 mins recharge. Yeah maybe in absolutely perfect controlled test environment conditions. What about in the real world when it’s -5C outside, the driver has had the night heater running all night and now has the main heater blower running all day to keep warm, lights on, wipers on, radio on, satnav and phone plugged in? Range reduced by half and that’s probably being generous.All this EV stuff is a load of ■■■■■■■■.
The heater also being paid for at the same 16p per kwh + road fuel duty + 20% VAT as the drive motor.
As opposed to what would be waste heat from the engine coolant as part of the 12p per kwh including road fuel duty and 20% VAT cost of diesel.Also air con in the Summer all at the expense of range and the need to stop for battery changing/charging and productivety.
Not to mention expensive dangerous bollox, dependent on massive growth in nuclear power generation and corresponding increase in the risk of nuclear disaster at that.
