Mini E? Crucial problem for those is the minuscule range 135miles?. Try looking at the Fiat 500e 42kwh that has 200m range in a smaller package. That is if you really want a small city car. I spoke to a dealer today about the 500e asking how the 24kwh version was selling? It isn't The 42kwh one is going like hot cakes. Apart from price no difference at all except for range.

This would suit the wife just fine has she only drives about 12 miles a week. Thank you for the info on a Fiat but having had a MINI before it is a no contest.

"The person who is asking the question is giving the facts on chargers that he has come across. My personal thoughts are I can quite believe him."

Well, you need to do your own research then. You'll soon find it's nonsense.

"The latest cars being released to the market incomplete"

Sounds very dramatic doesn't it? In reality it's in the US, not the UK, and they're missing, as far as I recall, a rear USB-C charger.

You may have read another 'sensational' headline yesterday how Tesla drivers were 'unable to use their cars' yesterday evening due to an app outage. What the article fails to mention is the cars also have a key card that worked just fine. Just goes to show you need to read beyond the headlines.

OK I've had an EV for a couple of months now. Just wanted to pass on my conclusions about costs. I had a pretty economical petrol car doing 41mpg on supermarket unleaded. I also have a smart meter that tells me the cost of power used charging the car. I know how far that charge is going to take me. So....I can work out given a litre cost of 1.40 my petrol car would cost me 19quid to drive the same distance my EV costs me 7quid. Or put it another way...and I like this one. Everytime I recharge the EV I save 12 quid. Everything else going pretty well , still have not used a public charger, or managed to run out of juice. In fact...my wife has just ordered a Fiat500e 42kwh......purely on the basis of how my Mokka e experience has worked out.
