Electric Cars, every car manufacturer are now turning to EV technology. by 2030 EVERY car sold in the UK will be electric! It's the end for Petrol and Diesel cars. The big question is though is the battery technology and the infrastructure ready? Follow me on my journey in my Porsche Taycan EV all electric car as I drive long distance miles from England to Scotland in a real world EV road test. The truth will shock you!

    @ghl3488منذ 2 سنوات Today I had to get to site in Winchester from South Wales. Diesel BMW 320 MSport, 280 miles, 58mpg, fuelled up first thing this morning, took all of 5 id="hidden1" class="buttons"> minutes. No intermediate stopping. In fact could do this almost 3 times on one tank if I was just a little more frugal. No doubt EV's are the future. But that time is a long way off. Just imagine all the houses in the country without drives with on street parking. Terraced rows where you can barely and rarely get outside your own house, how is that going to work? We can barely maintain power to the country at the moment so what will happen when all the additional load comes into play. And dont think you will be paying the same per kilowatt as you do now. Tax revenue on petrol and diesel cars will collapse so where will the goverment get their money then, well from electric vehicles of course, where else. This has not been thought through. Rush and rash decisions to allay the liberal left and looney greens. ....وسعت 19

    @GSD-hd1yhمنذ 2 سنوات This was interesting to watch. I have a Skoda Octavia 2.0TDI and easily achieve 54mph on almost any kind of journey. On motorways this regularly stretches id="hidden2" class="buttons"> into the high 60s/low 70s, and the best I have ever achieved was exactly 80MPG on a trip from Durham to Whitby, maintaining the posted speed limits all the way.
    Google Maps says Ulverston - Anstruther - Mansfield is 540 miles, which would therefore take me less than 9 gallons and cost £64.05 (last price used 140.9/lt) for the round trip. I noted that your recharging costs were £31(for 75%), £11 (for 40%)and £36 (for 58%) for a total of £88 just to get to Anstruther. Total journey time at 60mph is 9 hours, or 11 hours if you add two 1 hours rest stops for food. That means I could be back in Mansfield at 8:30pm, from a 9:30am start, instead of checking into a Premier Inn 25 miles short of my first destination. With two stops planned on the way back we can expect that to cost a further £80 because of the greater distance.
    So, to sum up, your total journey is going to cost you approx 3 times more in fuel bills, an overnight stop in a motel, in a car that starts at £83500. And some people still say EV's are cheaper.
    And that in a nutshell sums up why most people would not be happy changing to an EV just yet.

    @guss2099منذ 2 سنوات A friend came from North London ) for a visit (I live in Darvel, East Ayrshire, just around 20 miles south of Glasgow) and went up for a week to Fort William. id="hidden8" class="buttons">
    It took him 9 hours to reach my place with 4 stops to recharge on the way and another 2 stops before he reached Fort William.
    On the way back a week later, it took him 14 hours to go home.
    Endless waiting on the charging points, endless wining from the kids and his wife, loads of money spent on food and coffees and teas on those stops and massive stress due to the charging points being very bad located all over the shop.
    I did the same route on my car and only stopped once for fuel. 9 hours from Fort William to East Barnet.‍♂️

    @grahamleiper1538منذ 2 سنوات Somehow you manage to take as long to drive, longer to charge, and spend more total time driving from Cumbria to Fife than I do going from Aberdeen to id="hidden10" class="buttons"> London.
    Don't start with an empty cold battery.
    Don't charge to 100% unless parked overnight.
    Stay away from slow (50kW) chargers unless you have no choice, and even then only charge enough to get you to a fast (150 - 350kW) charger. (More of those are definitely needed)
    Turn up at a decent charger with 20%, you'll be leaving with 80% in 20 minutes.

    @davidcleverley7051منذ 2 سنوات I had a Mercedes A180 1.5 diesel automatic and I live in Swindon, our holidays are travelling up to Inverness in the Highlands, Scotland, before we set id="hidden11" class="buttons"> of home from Inverness I filled the car up with diesel, on the way home we stopped once for the toilet and grab some snacks to take in the car, when we arrived back in Swindon the car used three quarters of a tank of diesel and the journey was just over 500 miles. Now I've got a GLA 200 diesel and thas is very economical aswell, no way I'm going to buy an ev especially going on holiday to Scotland and all that time waisted on charging and finding a charger that hopefully works, with that distance I probably have to have two stops overnight which is adding costs to the journey. ....وسعت 4

    @JimT-RCTمنذ 2 سنوات A few questions spring to mind straight away.
    Why would you not charge the car before you started your trip, if I was going on a long trip tomorrow, id="hidden13" class="buttons"> I would prepare the car today
    Why charge the car to 100% any time unless at home doing nothing or at a hotel on an overnight charger?
    Everyone knows that the speed of charging drops once at 80%, and even if you didn't, you could have worked that out at your first charge, when it tells you it is going to take an hour to put 20% in.
    Your second stop was unnecessary, you were only going to drive another 100 miles and have a night's rest, you could have got there, and then put it on charge overnight, to wake up to a full battery without it costing any time. Your total journey was about 650 miles, the range of your car is 215 miles on a full charge, but it would make sense to only charge to 80% which will take far less time.
    You could have started with a full battery, driven to Alnwick (350kw charger), then charged while taking a refreshment break to 80%, this would have been enough to get you to your destination, where you could charge overnight with no inconvenience to you. Then you would need just one change on the way home, and could use the same charger. so in total, you would have a 30 minute rest break in each direction while the car is charging.
    Admittedly, you would want to find a hotel that has car chargers, these are often free to use for guests

    @darrenkennair7774منذ 2 سنوات I've driven all over the country in a Tesla. can honestly say i've never had an issue. they have a well maintained and easy to use dedicated supercharger id="hidden24" class="buttons"> network. the car has its own account so there's no need to use credit cards etc. you're billed retrospectively. I also never charge to 100%. 80% max change on average takes 15 - 20 mins. Which gives me 250 miles +. Charging rate is throttled from 80% onwards to protect the battery in most EV's. so its quicker to do an extra short stop than one long one to charge to 100%. Other EV charging networks need to take a leaf out of Tesla's book, as i agree they are often complicated to use and very unreliable at present. ....وسعت 9

    @johnraworth8019قبل 10 أشهر I live in the Northern Scottish Highlands. Due to the state of the roads/ tracks , you probably wouldn't get to our village in an EV as you need good id="hidden27" class="buttons"> ground clearance. Most EVs are low down to reduce drag on ordinary roads. I can drive from here to Staffordshire in 10 hours with two breaks with a good hundred miles left in the tank in my Isuzu D'max 1.9 auto pick up truck. This charging stuff leaves me totally bewildered !
    People say you must get an EV but they are far too low to the ground and in winter ( minus 20 up here !) The range is further reduced ! Wipers on ,heater on, lights on etc. Most EVs use an ordinary car battery for the heater etc which is trickle charged from the main batteries. Absolutely usless up here unless you want to break down and freeze to death as the charge to the car battery is not sufficient to keep up with the power used. In the cities where you can charge easily and if you don't do to many miles the electric cars are great , but up here they can be lethal ! If you were to break down after hitting a deep pothole and bursting a tyre, it will be many hours before the breakdown.chaps can get to you.
    We have been told that we can't have a charging point at home as the infrastructure is old and fragile. It's on overhead telegraph poles and struggles even if several households put the oven on at the same time.
    Basically it's got a long way to go before we could trust an EV. The new Maxus 4x4 looks the best so far but the price is ridiculous and the range is also very poor in such remote communities. Our nearest charging point is 20 miles away and that's if it's working. So 25% of power used to go to charge and then you have to leave enough left in the battery to go the charge again leaving only 50% usable power, 100 miles! Charging points are never used in winter and the summer holidaymakers are queueing for miles. .
    Thank you for another great video !

    @dna100منذ 2 سنوات The fuller the battery, the slower the charge rate. So 0-50% is much quicker than 50-100%.

    I have 2 years left with what I've decided will be my last fossil id="hidden36" class="buttons"> fuel car, a diesel 1 series. I could have had a BMW i3S but its just too small and had a 144 mile range. However, my company has just gone fully electric for new vehicles so I'm likely to be offered something different after this lease runs out.
    A huge bonus for me going electric is that my company car tax will reduce from £150 a month to almost zero - effectively a £5k pay rise after tax.
    Looking forward to the return leg!

    @garysimpson3900منذ 2 سنوات Electricity cost for the journey rounded up/down: £31, £11 & £37 = £79. At those rates it is probably comparable to driving in a modern efficient internal combustion engine. As you say the cost benefits are no road tax (especially on a new equivalent petrol engines Porsche eg Panamera) or congestion charge where appropriate. I assume the Porsche electric discount card and the sat nav facility for routing to available charging sites is part of the new Porsche 3 year support package that comes with the warranty & roadside assistance cover meaning that once over 3 years old owners will have to pay a annual fee to keep the service. Its just having to wait 2 hours every charge up time that is the downside. ....وسعت 2

    @charliepaynterمنذ 2 سنوات Great assessment Lee, although I had come to the same conclusion as you did, having owned an I-Pace for 2 years: the main reason for getting an EV was id="hidden53" class="buttons"> tax (BIK) and the cost of ownership (cost set against profits and half of the VAT back), although as you have said, that will change leading up to 2030. BTW, did you purchase the Taycan or is it leased? I only ask as it will be interesting to know what the residual value will be after 3 years, given the fast pace of EV technology. ....وسعت 2

    @johncoyle8191منذ 2 سنوات If we get to a point when there are many more electric cars . Imagine trying to find an available charging point and everybody hanging about waiting for id="hidden54" class="buttons"> it to charge . I'm no technical wiz . But the technology would have to improve to make this feasible on a much larger scale ....وسعت 3

    @tajjywajjyonionbhajji6198منذ 2 سنوات You would think with technology today. Once the battery is fully charged they would be self charging so we wouldn't need to stop and charge.

    @chefdavetiktok2221منذ 2 سنوات Was nice to see the ‘Macmobile’ The other day it’s such a lovely car! But I don’t think I would like to mess around charging and planning my routes around charging points . Oh and I’m a bit of a Petrol head so don’t think I’ll be persuaded to get a electric car anytime soon . But… the pros of a electric deffo outweigh the cons ....وسعت 1

    @sarakirk9542منذ 2 سنوات Hey Lee!
    Oh no. Sorry all that hassle to get from A to B and a stop at Premier Inn on the way. Definitely not worth the time and energy. My husband id="hidden59" class="buttons"> is from Aberdeenshire so can imagine the time that would take to get up when it takes me and my diesel on full tank one trip. I'll stick with my trusty PUG who's range is amazing. Even better putting the super diesel in has given my car better range this month. Enjoy your travels in Scotland Lee. Would just prefer it without the worry of having to charge at few opportunities 2-3 hours each time

    @michaelhay8712منذ 2 سنوات They did the same with LPG, convinced fleet owners to convert as it was 60% cheaper than petrol, then after a few years more than doubled the price, couple id="hidden60" class="buttons"> this with the conversion costs, it meant diesel was cheaper & more economical. ....وسعت 1

  • @
    @gbphilمنذ 2 سنوات I won’t be tempted until they bring in inductive charging and a wait on the slip road over charging loops or at traffic lights will boost the battery by 20% in a minute or so. You need to do some research TFL did a Taycan run from California to Colorado and they found most efficient rate of charge is to let the battery run down to 20% and only charge it to 75-80% as the charge rate drops like a stone after that. Gives you 160 miles or three hours driving so you’ll have to hop from charger to charger. ....وسعت 1
