It's be interesting to find out what the geo settings are, if everything is a lot "straighter" than it is on the S2000 (which has quite a bit of toe and camber), then they'll wear slower.

 

I am taking it to get checked so will post them up, the tyre place said uneven wear on a front tyre so...

Backs looked pretty good to me

 

Cost of a BP charge


67p a kWh at 4m/kWh (driving like you are sleeping) is almost 17p a mile

Or 41mpg in a diesel pumping crap out

I hope those company car drivers are not banging out the miles. I can see, having looked at work, why the numbers are so large though
You can get a leaf for £400 a month salary sacrificed

That salary is likely paying 40% PAYE

So of your £400 is £240 in your pocket - £2880 a year cash, £1920 PAYE
​​​
whereas the BIK on the leaf is £700 for the year so less than £60 a month cost to you in effective tax

So of your £4800 a year lease you pay £3500, or less than £300 a month for a new car

A nice piece from the US about driving small BEVs and range in 20degreesF and below. That is -7C.

Public charging is mostly irrelevant to me, so infrequent as to be trivial

But 32p a kWh boils my piss also

I would set fire to it at 40p and delete this post

Even though I have no thoughts on what else to buy

 

Jason you would have to pay more than double that at public chargers. So while they may not (yet) levy road tax on BEVs there is one, in effect.

Meanwhile back in the land of lucky leccy I just topped mine up to 127 miles range with 25.1kWh for £1.89 in the wee small hours.

 

It's not lucky, it's heavy, smart investment

I find I am using it a lot less now it's nowhere near as attractive in terms of running costs

My S2 NA does 22mpg (35p a mile)
SC does 18mpg (43p a mile - same as the M3 but a lot more fun)
In current temps I reckon the e is 13p a mile at best

We use it for fam trips, I used it for a dog walk this morning but the amount I charged it in Jan was £50+ instead of £80+ in Dec.. it's become a weekend car but not like that

I think the bit about favour green is why it sometimes randomly starts when I plug in during the day

Good idea, if it worksNot the face.. not the face

 

20p a mile in a BEV?

With petrol at c150p a litre or c700 a gallon (added a bit) that is the same as 35mpg

Or shyte for a less numeric but equally accurate description

 

Makes a joke of the Honda target for the 'e' as being a city car Actually it is their test bed a lot of the dashboard and e-controls are appearing in later cars I think.

Back here in the city of Norf*ck my Ohme charger added 24.5kWh last night (well early this morning) for the princely sum of £1.84. At 3.8 miles/kWh that is 93.1 miles, roughly equivalent to 350 miles per gallon of fossil fuel at £7/gallon. Car says 117 miles range 100% charged. I think being garaged helps - it is slightly less cold! All the while I slept like a babe. Ohme follow my Octopus 'Go' tariff faithfully. After a peak of 4.2 miles/kWh in summer I now use the space heating regularly hence the drop to 3.8 miles/kWh. Lifetime average range when fully charged is a whisker under 124 miles. Monthly fuel cost £5 for approx 250 miles driving. £7 with the next 'Go' in August i.e. 1 gallon ICE equivalent.

So it works for me as a city car sort of. Fuel cost is subsumed in overall leccy bills. But definitely a one off and sally's to Kent have to be militarily planned

edit: I find I use it for short trips I wouldn't have inflicted on an ICE, never getting warmed up. Sort of like a giant mobility scooter hiviz colour not pensioner bleu eh
