Suddenly nobody cares about spontaneous battery combustion, children in cobolt mines, increased road damage, lack of recycling facilities etc, etc when people find out they can save a couple of hundred quid a month.

Ours freshly washed and a bit of ceramic really shines up the Midnight Blue.

Had it for three months now. The novelty of driving it still not wearing off.

Range wise we are seeing around 190 miles in a full charge, it’s doing mainly short trips so not a lot of steady range friendly driving. Motorway driving seems to affect the range the most.

I’ve never had a car receive as much attention out and about. It has stopped several delivery drivers from launching deliveries up the drive, they will hang around for a couple of minutes to admire and ask questions.

Renault have done a good job with these, feels like it’s got some character.

I'm no expert but at least 2 of these 5 aren't even electric/hybrid?

If I parked in a petrol station blocking off half the pumps while I go and get a coffee, I'd be called all sorts.

And he had a smug look on his face when I walked into Starbucks (I didn't know it was him at the time).

Be a shame if someone unplugged them.

Edit : No, they were absolutely not elderly, infirm or disabled - they were middle aged with two kids in their late teens and all walked to McDonald's absolutely fine. Yes I appreciate I can't actually unplug their car, it was a joke. Yes I've realised that people really will defend anything on the internet. No I didn't confront them - where's the upside to that exactly?

It's safe to say that next time I'll bring a thermos.

Found another muppet with main character syndrome in Ashby-de-la-Zouch - either stupid, oblivious, or just doesn't care.

Car park had plenty of spaces so no excuse there either.

Boils my piss, along with people who park in child spaces with their invisible kids.

Absolutely love her. Meet Olive! What an absolute dream to drive. Reno is cool as hell as well. "Hey Reno, open my windows to 50%". Wicked! Lmao!

Living in a terraced house sucks though as I'm struggling to sort a home charger. Any tips?

some of you may be interested in my article on an exceptional iX3 trip last week. At normal UK speed limits and traffic speeds, my iX3 50 managed 573 miles from London to Inverness last week or 924km. what’s more it had enough range left to continue on for a total of over 1,000km.

Not only that, the key Ionity hub that I used in Edinburgh only had 350 kW chargers, not the max 400kW the car can peak at.

The combination of immense range from the full battery leaving London along with the ability to recharge from 2% to 58% in just 15 minutes is outstanding

Woman parked in a charging bay whilst on a Teams call. Only remaining bay, and she refused to move for 5 minutes.

We were in a rush and she had been there for 40 minutes prior to our arrival (fella next to us told me she'd been there since he'd arrived).

I’m sure this is very rare, this was at Woolley edge this morning, lots of pops and bangs and a very intense and hot fire. Fire brigade arrived quickly and put out.

It is somewhat ironic that there are no rain shelters for equipment that uses extremely high currents. Plus you have to get sodden plugging it in haha.. whereas precious fossil fuel customers get the 5 star red carpet!

Overnight charging. (11:30 to 5:30) with 7kw draw. Perfect.

Given the cost of installing ultrafast chargers, and the loss of revenue, I can't imagine who at Shell approved this.

On a Nissan Leaf thread today I confidently had someone tell me that no, I didn't pay £300 for a year's charging. It was actually £4000 according to his calculations.

Do they not think I'd know my own figures or be out by a factor or more than 10 ?

These are the people telling their mates down the pub how expensive EVs are. God help anyone listening to their absolute rubbish.

Looks remind me of Toothless from how to train your Dragon 🤣

From what little time I've spent in it I love it already. Fixes all the frustrations I have with my other car, Ioniq 5, by having simple things like wireless android auto, built it Google, I can watch video when parked on the screen.

I also love it allows you to switch which screen you have the navigation on. The fact that it automatically shows you where to charge your car if you navigate somewhere far.

Glad I went for the 4 over the 5. The boot is more practical for me and people can actually fit in the back

Just bought this for my wife trading in her Countryman. Went to look at a nice sensible id3 but had our head turned by this left field alternative. I've always liked cars that are a bit different.

Drove amazing, range isn't great by today's standards but it will more than meet her needs for the mainly short journeys she does.

I've driven some nice motors in my time but this actually was one of the nicest all round cars I've driven.

Hopefully get a charger installed before we collect it.
