I'm at the other end of the spectrum and often drive a Renault Zoe. With a range of about 60 miles on a full charge it is fine for local trips. On longer journeys I always plan to recharge at a charging point before the point where I really have to recharge. This way I guard against any one chargin...

The Tesla is more expensive for sure, I paid much more than I’ve ever spent on a car before, but can charge my company 45p a mile and the generous PCP residual value meant the overall cost per month wasn’t too crazy. Charging overnight on E7 means I pay less than 3p per mile for fuel, as against nea...

I-Pace looks jolly nice though, much prefer the look to Model X. And a top end Model X gets to £140k. I-Pace pricing puts it on par with a RR Velar from the same group. I look fwd to seeing one. Different availability of charging points is interesting. As I am not a business car user I am not yet t...

It'll sell just fine to folk dodging company car BiK tax and rich londoners avoiding the "congestion" charge ('cos EVs take up no road space at all :roll:). As for longer trips, I'm sure JLR could come up with a scheme where you can borrow another car from the range for a weekend or week ...

Are you telling us the 'filling points' are incompatible? All cars can't use all charging points? Or is it just the refill rate? The future? :o There is a bit of a Betamax v VHS going on, but the main difference is the fill rate. In Europe the CCS “filler” has won, with Nissan’s CHAdeMO network bei...

As a Tesla Model S owner it’s great to see come competion finally arriving. Unfortunately JLR, so far at least, have decided not to throw any money at a high speed charging network. That, in my view, relegates the car to those that can afford £75k+ for a car that isn’t needed for the longer distance...

It will be good to have an owner of a self driving car in the automation discussions.

It’s very definitely not self driving, yet! If I can add anything constructive then I will do my best

Good memory! I did indeed have a Lexus, 3 in fact. I had a couple of IS’s and then the NX. I nearly went for the Tesla instead of the NX but wasn’t confident enough about their future etc. Kept following them and then when Brexit happened and GBP went south big time I thought I’d better jump in befo...

Hello, and congratulations on the rapid progress through the courses. What's the new car that started you on this path? After much deliberation and actually bottling it the first time, I bought a Tesla Model S :D Repair costs and parts availability are a concern, and being off the road for 3 months...

I dabbled with the IAM hundreds of years ago, but life got in the way and I never made it past a few observed drives in my Hillman Super Minx :car: Fast forward and having spent rather more money than ever before on a car, and being paranoid about bending it (or someone else bending it that I should...
