From RSymons RSEV. Some vans cover a high mileage up and down the motorway each day BUT many do not. They are only used locally and actually do not cover many miles at all. In this case, switching to an electric van could well be the way forward. Some people assume a range of 150…
From RSymons RSEV. Recently prices have been coming down on EV’s in the used car market. This not due to lack of demand because that is up about 50% year on year but there are just now much more in supply. The result is that they are becoming more affordable and now we are seeing…
From RSymons RSEV. Hi, just a quick roundup as we finish February 2023. A lot has been happening in the world of used Electric Car prices. Some models have seen huge drops in value. Painful if you are an owner, but as a buyer it means they are now far more affordable and the market…

From RSymons RSEV. We have tested the Kona EV 64kwh (useable battery) before and it has proven to be one of the most efficient electric cars available. It has proven to be capable of covering over 300 miles before in other tests during summer. But this time follow us on a vlog where we test…
From RSymons RSEV. Hi everyone. A simple vlog video as we head out on the road for the day and this time we are running a Hyundai Kona 64kwh (useable battery) to give it a real-world range and efficiency test. It’s a chilly UK winter day at about 3c, not as cold as some places…
From RSymons RSEV. This is the Volkswagen ID5 GTX- the sporty version of the coupe version of the ID.4! I like the ID4 as an all round practical family electric vehicle so what do i think of its sleeker, sportier brother? I give it a real-world road test to get the efficiency and actual range…

From RSymons RSEV. So this is the first time driving the Tesla Model X Plaid on UK roads. We still can’t get a UK supplied car here!!! When? We don’t know, maybe later in 2023 or even 2024? But thanks to our friends @TundEmagazin and https://custom-tesla.com they kindly drove an example from Germany for us…
From RSymons RSEV. #plaid #uk Hi everyone. AT LAST! we get our hands on a Tesla Model X plaid to try in the UK. I’ve been in the Model S Plaid before in the states but this is a European Spec Model X Plaid from Germany, kindly driven over with the partnerships we have with…

From RSymons RSEV. Just a quick January summary and two main topical points i discuss; Firstly the results of our first month of Solar and Tesla Powerwall. How much energy did we produce in winter months (it can only get better!). How far could a car such as Tesla Model 3 drive on the energy…

From RSymons RSEV. So this was the week before Christmas and a family road trip from the South Coast of England to Scotland, lots of touring around and then back again, all in 5 and a half days, the complete length of the UK. I’m using my Porsche Taycan 4s fitted with 20” wheels and…

From RSymons RSEV. Its Friday the 13th and you may or may not be superstitious but for thousands of Tesla owners this morning will be a bad day with devastating news that Tesla overnight dropped new car prices for the Model 3 and Model Y but up to £8,000 ! This will of course have…

From RSymons RSEV. A lot of higher mileage drivers, perhaps such as sales reps, site inspectors, regionals managers and such like often ask me if an electric car can REALLY work for them. In this video I take you on a vlog day to show you an example. In fact electric can take LESS time,…
From RSymons RSEV. How much can we go off-grid? The development of our warehouse, showroom and offices has been a labour of love since purchasing it in 2019 and AT LAST we have had our solar installation so we can generate electricity, store energy and charge our electric cars off grid ! 🙂 It’s a…

From RSymons RSEV. So much pollution is caused by diesel vans so at last it’s great to see more electric vans coming to the market by various manufacturers. However the Nissan ENV200 has been with us for a while so what do I think of it? I’ve had a few over the years which I’ve…
From RSymons RSEV. Tesla have just started rolling out their Christmas Software Update which always includes some new goodies but I think whilst there’s some interesting additions, there’s a couple of things missing… Applies to UK Tesla Model 3 Y S and X but some features will only be available with certain hardware depending on…
From RSymons RSEV. Well the day started out with a plan to fly to Manchester and then drive back a brand new Tesla Model Y Long Range. A refresh model that includes some new features, on of which i’m very keen to try is the revised suspension which now claims more comfort. They also no…
From RSymons RSEV. Well in the end I sold my amazing Tesla Model S Long Range that I previously completed the John O’Groats to Lands End challenge in. Will miss it but it was time to move it on. In this episode I travel to meet the new owner, hand it over and then drive…

From RSymons RSEV. This is a Fiat 500e La Prima 42kwh convertible electric city car, and this is my review following a 500 mile journey across the UK in a day. (Check out my other video for that trip in more detail). This is a charming little electric car but what do I like and…
From RSymons RSEV. What’s one of the least likely electric cars for undertaking a road trip from Edinburgh, Scotland to Bournemouth, South Coast? Apart from Renault Twizy… the Fiat 500e is mainly pinned as a city car, so what’s it like for doing a long road trip? How much charging time and how many stops…
From RSymons RSEV. Hi Our first video with some self-parking cars was very popular (click this link or copy and paste if you havent seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsb2XBAIWyA ) and Tesla didn’t do too well…. AP1 was OK but AP2/Enhanced Autopilot with FSD didn’t do very well at all. But now Tesla have changed to use…
From RSymons RSEV. It’s an end of an era! The #dirtymartini Porsche Taycan is unwrapped and stripped back to its naked self. Is it now #nakedtaycan ? But as I was gearing up to sell the car, it needed putting back to standard an unwrapping. It’s been a great marketing tool, awesome for taking to…

From RSymons RSEV. Hi everyone. This time I have a Skoda Enyaq (not enyak) iv80 77kwh battery. It’s a very well made and specious practical family electric car. I use it for a couple of days to get to know it well and give my opinion plus test the real-world efficiency, running costs and range!…
From RSymons RSEV. This is the popular MG ZS EV Exclusive. It’s been a popular car for Mg and combines practicality, functionality and good value for money. Such used examples are now on the market starting at about £20,000. Do they make for a good purchase? Are they still cheaper to run compared to petrol…

From RSymons RSEV. Here is my first look and initial impressions of the MG4 EV Long Range Trophy. The MG4 range starts at £25,995 for the SE standard with a 51kwh battery. The Long Range SE with 64kwh is £28,495 The top of the range Long Range SE 64kwh Trophy (as tested) is £31,495 So…
From RSymons RSEV. I ran through some example figures before but yet again the energy crisis has caused another change in electricity prices. Luckily we now have an energy price cap guarantee but it’s still a lot more expensive than it was a few weeks and months ago. So what does this mean for electric…

From RSymons RSEV. Here we have an entry version of the Skoda Enyaq iV 60 electric family car. It is a sensible price for such a large car, has loads of interior space, well built and very smart inside. Drives well too! Could this be the perfect family electric car? We can compare here side…
From RSymons RSEV. #tesla #model3 They look the same but one of these cars is a Tesla Model 3 Long Range from 2021 and the other from 2022. Tesla don’t tell you this stuff or what’s changed but here we can tell you the differences between the two. One of the most notable is that…
From RSymons RSEV. Porsches latest software uPdate promises changes to how the car uses its motors and “de-energises” redundant motor to improve efficiency and range. Driving one car it’s hard to know for sure or see any improvements. BUT driving them side-by-side in convoy at the same speed at the same time really will show…
From RSymons RSEV. #electricvehicle #ev #i4 #review So it’s been 3 months since I collected this BMW i4 M50 brand new. What do I think exactly? What’s good, what’s bad and is it good enough for me to keep it? I share come thoughts plus reference some comparisons to Tesla Model 3 and S plus…

From RSymons RSEV. #taycan #ev #porsche So I’ll be the first to accept the Taycan is not only expensive but also somewhat flawed in a few ways… BUT despite all that it’s one of very few cars in my ownership history that I’ve kept for over a year! In this video I reveal why plus…
From RSymons RSEV. Used a Model X or new Model Y? This is a simple vlog but as I’m driving a Tesla model Y and X back to back let me share some thoughts on the pros and cons of each. I can compare directly the efficiency and what the real world range is too.…
From RSymons RSEV. Hi Everyone Hers my review and opinion in more detail about the Cupra Born 58kwh Level 2. (And we own a VW ID3 in our household so is it better? How does it compare? Which do I prefer?) The Born is available in different trims, batteries and power. This is a V2…
From RSymons RSEV. #ev #cupra So this is the Cupra Born…! You’re not allowed to call it a Seat… their sporting brand is Cupra and the Born aims to be the sportier version of its sister the Volkswagen ID.3 This is a 58kwh 204ps Level 2 Version and very nice it is too. In this…
From RSymons RSEV. Todays announcement by Ofgem sees the energy price caps increase for domestic households. This affects everyone but none more so than electric car drivers.
