    He he, I sold my ID3 for £2k more than I paid for it with 10,000 miles on the clock and 18 months old.
    It’s knowing when to sell and buying another taking advantage of new model deals and dealer discounts, gets me an ID5. Now I have 325 miles on one charge in summer. Still paying 2p a mile for all my driving . Whereas you will be paying about 18p .
    If you want to play daft buggers , be prepared to get rinsed and made to look slightly stupid?

    You asked, I replied with facts.

    Facts!


    Both trade valuations firm Cap HPI and retail pricing experts Auto Trader have reported worrying falls in used EV prices in recent weeks. Auto Trader said electric car values dropped -2.1 per cent in January compared to December – and this is against a 0.2 per cent rise in used cars in the same period.13 Feb 2023

    Losing money. Like no tomorrow. Mugs game buying them. Might as will by a toy car.

    When do you last buy and sell a current family vehicle , less than two year old that sold for higher than one paid for it?

    2p a mile , not 18p a mile, not able to discuss that are you?

    Care to share what your daily runabout is?

    Three questions.

    It’s not 2p a mile at all. Not noticed energy prices have gone up.

    Once again you are wildly wrong. Reading the Mail or Express no doubt. (And it shows)

    I’m 100% home charged on Octopus Go ( No solar input) I’m currently paying 7.5p per kWh tariff until July . I don’t use public chargers ever . With 320+ miles range in summer and 300 yesterday, I have had no need to use public chargers.

    I expect that to rise in July to 10p per kWh.

    My 100% charge covering 325 miles in summer would cost me £5.77 . ( 77kWbattery x £0.075) / 325
    The fuel costs for you to cover the same distance ?

    Remember, the car choice is personal, it’s pure running cost we are talking about.

    You get tied in a knot in an Adam Clayton thread, so you change the topic into something you THINK you know something about and I tie you in a knot again.

    Don’t you ever get fed up of being found out and made to frankly look cluless .

    Anyway cost for your 325 miles using WLTP , please provide model, year, engine, fuel.

    You won’t need any longer than 5 mins to reply as these numbers are on the top of your head.

    @Administrative can we merge this off topic thread into a new thread “Fordy does The cheapest EV running costs for beginners—————Badly” lol!

    My energy costs have gone down.

    And my EV running costs are less than 2p per mile and sometimes they are negative.

    So you give in and daren’t quote me your cost per mile because I know the answer already. Unless of course you are running on farmers diesel? Eye watering in comparison isn’t it! That why you went quiet. Remember mine is 1.9p per mile. Oh and thanks for paying my road tax for me for the last two years. ;) . Remember the cost of the car is personal choice, running it isn’t!
    You do it every single time, jump in with both feet and end up floundering.
    The moral for you
    Don’t start a debate with wildly inaccurate comments, then dig your heels in with more stupid claims and finally cave in…..you just end up looking ridiculous.

    It’s too easy Fordy..It’s best keeping stum when you don’t have a clue other than the misinformation you read in the Mail, Express and more likely the Sun in your case.

    Back on topic , Clayton drives an EV;)

    Look EV’s are shite care currently.

    If you are saving on costs you are not on time.

    The cars are devaluing in price massively. Most people know it will be hydraulic cars that will make the difference.

    Electric cars are a mugs game.

    Thanks. I was busy.

    Either way. Electric cars will soon be scrap cars.
