Accountants say ( apparently they have the last word) i have to either buy a van ( which i don`t want) or a EV car.
EV vehicles attract 100% tax deduction , but are they any good? Or pay the government £££££ which will disappear before it even gets there.
I see you tube videos of people running out power or overpriced charging stations or exploding batteries ..read more

Jaguar to end production of petrol and diesel cars in June 2024
By the middle of the year, Jaguar will stop production of its petrol- and diesel-powered cars ahead of its relaunch as an electric-only brand.

With some makers putting the brakes on the transition to EVs, Tata seem to have decided to take Jaguar into the realms of prestige EVs (only) without much of a “transition”.
I suppose if EVs are generally more expensive than equivalent ICE vehicles, making the move tricky for many owners, they think they may as well move Jaguar out of the “mainstream” market alt ..read more

There have been a number of artists impressions of what the model 2, code name “Redwood” might look like but none of them seem to be based on pictures that Tesla showed at one of their presentations? Is this what the new car will look like or something different ..read more

Just a quick caution: There appears to be a problem with updating some Zappi 2s to V5.417. Mine is now bricked (blank display). I would suggest not updating just now until there is further information from myenergi.

I currently have a Tesla EV and a Zappi charger at home. I am on Intelligent Octopus Go tariff so that I can charge my Tesla at night time on the low tariff rate.
I’m thinking of getting another Tesla EV for my wife. Is it possible to charge the new Tesla with the same Zappi charger on different nights ..read more

After the storms and rain we have been having I noticed my ePod was perhaps acting erratically.
It was installed professionally on an outside wall by an approved installer.
When I look at the water ingress ratings, this thing is rated only IP54. Surely this is a design fault and not safe to use in or exposed to rainy conditions in the UK ..read more

Hello,
My name is Ben, and I am currently in my 4th year at Lancaster University. I am seeking participants who have previously purchased an electric car for a short interview over Teams/Zoom or whatever suits you best for my dissertation. Having completed a job placement at Volkswagen Group UK, I am interested in understanding whether the brand loyalty established by traditional car manufacturers through their internal combustion engine vehicles carries over to their electric counterparts...

We're in the process of getting a few quotes for our new EV, and shocked at nearly all of the prices we're being quoted. Whilst I expected to pay a bit more due to it being EV, and more expensive, the prices we're seeing are way beyond what we expected. We've tried the usual comparison sites.
Are there any specific insurers, or speciality EV insurers that anyone can recommend that would likely be cheaper than the usual places?
Honestly disheartening and means the savings on fuel and...
