I just thought well done tricking TestMangler into revealing how ancient he really is given that I'm hardly a youngster and it was released before even I was born..

OI!! I resemble that remark!

Watch out! Watch out! Watch out! - There's a Humphry about!

That's certainly an incentive to get home charging, and a cheap tariff, sorted.

BTW, I don't know if it's true or not but I heard that the appeal of EVs has waned a bit.

It's taken a while for the penny to drop, but the big hike in insurance for EVs and the realisation that the car could be worthless in about 10 years when the batteries are completely fried is putting off the general population. People who think they're saving the planet and don't care about the downsides have already got one, the rest of us are a bit more sensible and are happy with a car which can be fully charged in about 5 mins at a petrol station.

Got to say I rather like my plugin hybrid as I can drive around town for peanuts.

But I've also just bought Mrs Eek a 10 year old car because it was what she wanted and it has far fewer electronic items that can go wrong..

An ICE car can be worthless in about 10 years (or less) if the engine is fooked so, what's your real point? Many people keep spouting this supposed 'fact' that EV batteries only last 'about 10 years.' This is a myth except in the case of first gen Nissan Leaf's which had no BMS, naive people repeatedly charging to full capacity on a (for that time) fast charge. Not the case today.

You got rid of that little rocket? Nice motor that was. Got much the same or gone for a change?

<round of applause> Obviously, the youthful forum members (like Eek ) won't have understood that one.
