I thought our cheap EV's were doing well with high mileage.

This Mk1 MG ZS EV is on original equipment, it's an Uber driver and we don't know the SOH, but we will check it next week and update on this.

These were around 20k new and you can now pick them up for under 10k…

Just gonna get this booked in for a new traction battery as it's at 120k. By all accounts, it's scrap!!

Oh, hold on. It's seems to be fine.

Maybe I'll hold off and recheck it in another 2 years and at 240k 🤔

MG Motor UK MG5 for the win 👌🏻

We have another new EV technician on the road.

This is Lee. He's ex-RAC and an ex-Tesla Ranger.

He'll be based near Brighton and will cover the surrounding areas.

😊

His fuel bill is down from £379 to £90pcm. That's almost £3500 annually. You can buy a lot with that!!

I had a good look around it. The BYD Seal is lovely.

I stop at these services regularly and have noticed this creeping up. How long until we're seeing close to £2 litre again.

Luckily when I cover a typical 200+ mile journey it costs us under £4, not the £30+ it would in a diesel.

This is how our EVs are saving us so much…

2 years and 3 months old today.

Much ❤️ for the MG5.

What's that you say?

1.5 million km/932,000 mile/15 year battery warranty? Guarantee of no degredation for the first 500k.

Admittedly, this is for commercial applications, but CATL supply many manufacturers, including Tesla!!

Tides of change incoming 👌🏻…

I know the wipers are still shonky and this should have been implemented long ago, but Tesla's OTA are awesome.

A Tesla will be at its worst on the day you collect it. From then on, it's ever improving.

That facts don't lie.

EVs are growing globally. In December 2023 1.8m barrels of crude oil were displaced by EV's every day.

Each barely will emit 426.10kgs of CO2. Multiply that by 1.8m barrels and you can see we are saving a lot of CO2 and other emissions attributed to…

I don’t want to say ‘middle-aged, white man’, but I’m definitely seeing a trend in the bullshido and absolute lack of knowledge when it comes to net zero.

Ok, let’s fact this out.

The particular mower, a 36v Ebauer will run for 80 mins on a full charge and consume…

I love this. Octopus Energy are charging our car in the middle of the day because the grid is so clean using their intelligent tariff. Loads of wind and solar. Add that 40% of our cars energy is coming from our roof, it means our EVs emissions per KM total 11.43g CO2 and in terms…

We’ve purchased another MG5 for the mobile service. This one is destined for the south coast.

The reasons.

- Purchase costs are cheaper than an equivalent petrol or diesel, although prices are creeping back up again.
- reliability
- efficiency
- time off the road for…

Remember to keep your ev on local work only folks. I've only managed to travel just shy of 3000 miles over the past 13 days. They're just no good for the long stuff!

Total charging has amounted to £145 for this distance.

I'm standing by for the '5min refill/3000 miles/towing…

EV prices are on their way back up. I purchased an MG5 a few weeks ago for under 15k, the same car is now closer to 17k. Looks like the honeymoon is over, especially in the sensibly priced categories at least 🤔

This old girl is now at over 114,000 miles and is only 2 years and 2 months old.

We’re now picking these up for >15k and they want for nothing.

There’s a good reason we own 5 and we will have a 6th within a few weeks.

If you want cheap motoring, this is how you do it.

I have discovered that nearly every middle - aged white man on here is;

- qualified in vehicle maintenance

- qualified in EV maintenance
- qualified in H2 fuel cell tech
- qualified in emission science
