The e-Niro has a larger interior and boot and is more suitable for more than 2 people and hence the more expensive option. The Kona (I have one) is more compact and ideal for just the two of us. e-Niro 7 years warranty, Kona 5 years so anything younger still covered is a big bonus.
I need 230m round trip for home games and id3 77kwh cuts it in all conditions, 2 years and 40k miles. 300m range is possible in summer
Just download as and when you need one? There's a lot of companies all with their own app
This is part of the problem. I shan’t be converting anytime soon. Hybrid still way to go.
I knew and understood that the effect of the temperature on the battery was a thing - but I am astonished by the extent of it.
ICE cars are horrendously inefficient, the fact the engine need to be wrapped in a jacket of water and there’s a radiator needed as well says it all. In contrast electric motors are very efficient and generate very little heat, so any heat inside the cabin needs to generated. Also Li-On batteries just don’t seem to perform as well at low temps.
Which is what I'm about to do. But, as always, I value the NSC Hive Mind for guidance based on real-life experience.
When I collected our new Q4 last Friday, it had an indicated charge of 320 miles on the display. After nearly a week of ownership, and not plugging it at all (as we're waiting for the Ohme installer to visit), it's showing 260, despite me having driven 120 miles in total. The regen capability is brilliant.
Zapmap and Electroverse (which also puts payment on our Octopus account, with the RFID card).
Why? Because you don’t know what app to use?
Yep. Seems simple but try this on a penshioner and you’ve lost a sale in most instances. Any barrier, large or small, is still a barrier and puts people off.Why? Because you don’t know what app to use?
Thank-you! I'm with Octopus, and will be switching to their Intelligent Go tariff once our charger's installed. Downloading Zapmap and Electroverse in a moment.
I have been looking at a Q4 for my Mrs. What’s your general opinion are you happy with it? I am looking at one that’s 2-3yrs old mind not brand new.
I absolutely love it (as you can tell by my previous posts on this thread). We've moved from a hybrid Q7, as the Q4 better suits our needs (as both daughters have cars of their own).
But you don't represent all of them, or even non-pensioners! Trust me, it's enough to put some people off. Barriers come in all shapes and sizes.
Of course I don't represent all of them - I didn't claim to, but I'm a fairly typical pensioner.
