From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Kia are at the top of their game with electric cars but their announcement that they’re getting into the commercial vehicle game surprised everyone. What we didn’t know then was just how competitive it would be. This could disrupt the industry. I take a look at the PV5…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . It’s been a long time coming, but we finally decided to reduce our bills by generating our own electricity. Here’s what kit we’ve decided to get and why we’ve opted to get Heatable to do the installation. We’re thrilled Heatable are working with us. If you’re interested in…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . It’s been a long time coming but I’m very happy to say we now have a home charge point: the myenergi Zappi. It’s a charge point I’ve had before and had zero complaints. Watch how the installation went, why I like the Zappi, and how to use it.…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Having been a big fan of our old IONIQ 5, it was about time I tried the IONIQ 6 — its more efficient sibling — especially as the facelift version is due out any moment. You may not be considering a new one but there are plenty of…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Baby was with us for 18 wonderful years, through every high and low. I wanted to make a video celebrating her life. I’ve tried to make it as upbeat as possible, but forgive a bit of emotion that may had slipped through the net. We don’t know what…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . The big benefit of high depreciation on new cars means used EV buyers can get a great deal. I talk to used EV guru, @JonathanPorterfield to see what his top picks are. We could have chatted for hours on this topic so have surely missed out loads of…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . In the last video I showed Flaviana a selection of new EVs to get her opinions. We missed out a few though, so we’re back for more. Also, the winner of the one-off, hand-painted, ugly-as-hell Mr. EV mug will be picked from a hat. Who’ll be the unlucky…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Description Across Europe, CCS has won the rapid charge connector war. The weirdly-named CHAdeMO, is dying out. So where does that leave drivers of the Nissan Leaf, Lexus UX300e and old Kia Souls? Could the EV-Boy CHAdeMO to CCS adapter be their saviour? I meet up with Paul…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . My mission is to show Flaviana the latest bunch of EVs (well, pictures of them anyway) to see which she likes the most. Perhaps one could be a LEAF replacement?

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . The combination of range, efficiency, and size has made the Kia Niro extremely popular. Kia insist the Niro isn’t going anywhere, but with a longer range at a lower price, I wanted to see if the lower trim, long range EV3 “Air” makes for a suitable Niro replacement.…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . I’ve been using the convenient but slow granny charger to charge our EVs since we moved house, but I really want to charge faster at the cheap rate, so I’m desperate to get a dedicated 7kW charger. But which one?! With so many on the market, I’ve asked…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Not just one of the best selling EVs, but one of the best selling cars in the world — the Tesla Model Y ticks a lot of boxes for families. It’s got masses of space, good range, charges quickly, and has all the usual Tesla toys. The new Model…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . From smashed glass to fitting ventilation, there’s been a lot of activity in the last couple of months at our money pit. We’ve been fixing things, making some improvements, and just despairing at the running costs thanks to the electric radiators. Here’s a (long!) discussion about what we’ve…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Having reliable rapid charging infrastructure is essential to give people the confidence to get an EV, so here’s my round up of the rapid charges I did in the UK during 2024. All the highs, the lows, and a big Shell rant. Stop press! Here’s Zapmap’s 2024 charger…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . As we reach the end of 2024, the family sat in front of the tree and talk about what’s in store for 2025.

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . We hear a lot about how terrible log burners are for our health due to PM2.5 emissions, so we thought we’d test it for ourselves. Join my sleepy wife and I as we do some highly scientific tests(!) Temtop S1 air quality monitor: Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/3ORH2u9 Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/4iqpaEf Amazon.de:…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . We’re always hearing stories about how awful EV charging infrastructure is, so I thought I’d see for myself. Having just moved house, I decided to avoid plugging into the lovely, easy, 3-pin socket at home and instead rely on public chargers for a month. This is how it…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . The most convenient chargers are surely the ones in places you already park your car. One of the largest supermarkets in the UK, Sainsbury’s, has decided to go big or go home. Their Smart Charge EV hubs are appearing quickly across their stores giving their customers a convenient…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . We’re loving our new house, but after getting a smart meter, it’s become clear that it’s costing a fortune to heat. We’ll explore insulation in a future episode but for now, what do we do with this rotten conservatory that leaks rain and air? Our viewers have a…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Today’s the day we move from our house in Canterbury (where we’ve been for 3.5 years) and go to Uckfield, East Sussex — where hopefully we’ll stay for longer! As well as a tour of the new house, I show how I managed to transport four chickens and a dog.…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . In part one we drove 1,354 miles / 2,179 km from Canterbury to the Italian Alps in a Kia e-Niro, doing the unthinkable and not planning where we’re going to charge. https://youtu.be/H7Xrc7OO4rA How did it go? Perhaps better than expected! In this part, we spend some time in…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Moving house always brings its challenges. In our case, we’ve moved to a place that clearly needs some work done to it. Using a thermal imaging camera is a great way of finding areas where heat is being lost and, since we just have electric radiators now, keeping…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . We changed to Octopus Energy’s Intelligent Octopus Go tariff about a year ago and, for us, it’s saved a fortune. Here’s what it is, how it works, and how you might be able to save some money as well. Here’s Octopus Energy’s Fair Use Policy: https://octopus.energy/policies/smart-tariffs-terms-and-condition — Join…

Over our 5½ years of having this channel, every like, subscribe, comment, and affiliate link clicked has helped it grow more than we could have ever imagined. We would like to devote more time to making videos though, so we’ve…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . If you’re getting a used EV, you might want to find out what its battery health is like before buying. Or perhaps you want to find out for your own EV. And maybe you have an old EV that doesn’t do good route planning with charge stops. An…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Tony bought a 30kWh Nissan LEAF at auction — a decision he soon came to regret as *everything* started to go wrong. Although it’s clearly a cautionary tale about buying unseen at auction when you don’t know what to look for, it also shows that everything is fixable…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . If an electric car’s battery is dying, is it destined for landfill? No! Having identified a faulty battery cell in his Nissan LEAF, my neighbour decided to get it repaired. I join Dean and Cameron at The EV Workshop in Herne Bay while they show how to replace…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Out of the blue, a broken 30kWh Nissan LEAF turned up outside my house with battery failure and errors all over the dash. Here’s the story of what happened: a cautionary tale about buying an old, used, Nissan LEAF blind at auction. Stay tuned for part two where…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Your homework is to watch our journey to the Italian Alps in the e-Niro first! https://youtu.be/H7Xrc7OO4rA
