How many days a year do you effectively drive 500 km PER DAY ? Cause only on these days you will have to charge for 20-30 minutes while your petrol car is filled up in 3 minutes. But hey ... 500 km means you probably drove 4-5 hrs ... a 20-30 minutes brea...

.. a little bit impressed. 2300 kilos will be the real issue, versus the 1050 kilos of his A110. I was 'impressed' 10 years ago when I tried the P85d Model S, but it felt soulless and even though it handled 'well' you were aware of the weight and the 'NON...

The more I drive it, the more I start to like it. I always had diesels since 1996 when I bought a 90hp/200Nm 1.9 Tdi. Back then it was quite a fast and very smooth car, I do suspect it had more than 90 hp . I've always liked the torquey character of the p...

As you say. Many people who have their own solar panels and rarely venture far basically get their 'energy' for free. But with the fast charging network the companies are trying to cash in at the moment, as there's still not a sensible competition. Some b...

As there is currently no electric alternative to the Alpine 🤷🏻♂️ The much closer comparison is the E63 and the Hyundai. As there’s no successor to the E63 on the market currently and as the new M5 is even heavier than the 5N it’s a tricky one. One can on...
In that sense…

It was also interesting to compare the inbuilt satnav against GoogleMaps. I usually use the latter for test drives as I can predesign my intended route without the need to fiddle with the inbuilt unit. Here I wanted to compare the two and the inbuilt one ...

But they are set to disappear irrespective of that. And I can see why they would slowly bow out for cars if daily use, as soon electric cars will objectively do everything better. And here the comparison with quartz vs. mechanical is not appropriate, as c...
There's another element...

Quite some car manufacturers are currently artificially limiting supply of their electric vehicles for two reasons - first of all they are not nearly as profitable with them as with the ICE ones, and secondly, especially in leasing and other setups, where...

They tend to be constructed just as durably as ICE cars - in fact if you look at cars such as the iX it brings so much expensive technology to the table which they would never put into a humdrum ICE car. And the life of a battery will most likely be much ...
Let me think 🤔

By sensible I actually meant something that would be likely fun to drive. Whether it’s sensible having something with so much performance is another question altogether. As for silly electric vehicles not that many around. Something like Tesla’s Model S P...
I believe next year…

The Ionia 6N will come. Now its looks are also not conventional but it’s a car that’s much lower and with better aerodynamics, so that should make it an even more natural drive and aid the range somewhat, too. And as you said, others will definitely come ...
