yeah, actually the mercedes eqc looks a lot nicer. The ipace is like a futuristic x6 and i hate the x6.

Hursty Aye, is fugly. Was looking forward to what JLR would do with a slightly more mainstream design for the XJ, but they’ve knocked that on the head to accelerate replacements for their higher selling models.

Really dislike the design direction Audi and BMW have taken for their EVs. The Mercedes EQ range look pretty beige to me as well.

I’m quite keen on the new Audi GT

We need NIO to start selling in the UK. Really like the look of their cars.

No ulterior motive at all! 😆

The e-niro is nice. Looks like a normal car. I don’t want some ‘demolition man’ (great film btw) futuristic looking monstrosity. Beige is good. Beige and sub 5 seconds 0-60 even better

I don’t know how to drive.

Now getting anxiety about getting electricity from the cupboard under the stairs to outside.

Buy some rubber gloves and wellies for when it’s raining

benson The one thing I will miss is that covid allowing, I can currently just drive to the alps with a bike in the boot. But for the few occasions I want to do that tbh I could just fly and hire a diesel out there for the short time I want to embrace the clean mojntain air

Always hire cars when you’re up the mountain:

Amps Going right next to it to take a video is a pretty dumb move imo. Healthy respect required for avalanches

vinnyt77

Amps Yeah, the GT is much better looking then the standard eTron.

Wondering whether I can persuade Vicki that what we really need is a Taycan…

Amps

vinnyt77 Audi and Porsche designed their skateboard platform together, so the GT is a good option if you want Tycan esque energy without the price tag.

Amps

vinnyt77 Just seen you can get 100km out of 5 minutes charging with the GT. If they can get that in a cheaper car it’s game over.

Amps

What the fuck am I on about, it’s already game over for combustion engines. Captain!

Amps

Me, earlier.

Stop nicking Eds vids Amps, you’ll run out!

This one looks alright

The rapid chargers are £££ though. No drama waiting 15 mins and grabbing a coffee.

Getting a home charger here is going to be a bit of a faff beciause the meter and consumer unit are under the stairs. What used to be a garage through the wall is now a spare room so routing out a new 32amp cable is not going to be totally straightforward. Might future proof it somehow. The Mrs is insisting on it being bang tidy.

It’ll all be worth it in the end
