the truth about electric cars
'UK energy prices around the highest in the world'. UK Industry energy prices 60% higher than elsewhere in Europe. Or such like. While many can fill their boots or save money on cheap tariff electric others are paying high tariffs and daily charges. That is where average prices mentioned often in the UK is a P1$$ take. The POTUS is brokering oil. Seizing tankers and the oil at sea and selling it on. This is the supposed oil rich North America. Niot really so oil rich, they want Heavy Oil that belongs to others.,..

Long life servicing
Looks like SERVICE RECEPTION has no idea what the SERVICE Tech cocked up. The VW508 00 / 509 00 is Long Life Oil. (As a TDI requires) 0w20 FS IV for fixed or variable servicing. (As was VW504 00 / 507 00, 5w 30 FS III or 0w 30 FS III) The only software change is setting the Service Indicator to Fixed or Variable. 9,600 miles / 372 days. or 24 Months / 18,000 -20,000 miles. PS. Usual mix up is them leaving Oil Service & Inspection Service at each year....

Servicing mileages and components.
All very basic if a TSI. Common sense stuff. Use a search engine and put Briskoda servicing and look in Images and you will see charts. Basically, Fixed or Variable oil changes. so 9,600 miles / 372 days or 24 months / 18,000-20,000 miles. Pollen / Cabin Filter @ 2 years or sooner. Spark Plugs @ 4 years / 40,000 miles. Air Filter @ 60,000 miles / 6 years. CHECK THAT EVERY SERVICE. Brake fluid change is @ 2 years now. It was first at 3 years then each 2. Check tyres regularly. Wiper Blades, Suspension, Brakes etc etc. Cam Belt might now not be til 10 years / 150,000 miles.

@Graham Butcher Westminster is going to have 'Energy Security' for the UK or just England by the importation of Electricity from overseas and it coming in under the sea from Continental Europe as well as further afield. Also importing LNG. They will be prepared to get it from anyplace they can rather from the Nation in the North if they can. For Road / Transport Fuels and Petro Chemicals as long as China Petro are in partnership with Sir Jim Ratcliff / Ineos they will get liquid stock from them regardless of the Refineries in the UK closing. PS. it is not just about powering or heating homes. There is industry and commerce and obviously the 10 x plus or is it 100 times electricity needed for DATA CENTRES for AI.

Be sure it s not the only too common Fuel Rail issue. Broken mounting bolts. DVSA / DfT not interested, seemingly leaking petrol not 'Safety Critical.

Went to see Karoq in showroom - confused !!!
@chills Must be your experience. Oop north, top spec often ordered and doing the 3,000 miles / 3 months without Grubby public hands on them. Bargain for employees and Family members etc. Brand New Spec delivered before Customer Orders. Often in a brighter colour to be noticed out and about. Parked up ready for Managers, Sales Execs, etc etc. Very rare a potential buyer gets a shotty in them....

the truth about electric cars
Ed Miliband MP is supposedly going to stop Wind Farm owners gaming the system and getting very well compensated for not generating electricity that the National Grid is incapable or transmitting or it being used. We will see. It is the Non National Owned National Grid that is getting 'Money for old rope' or actually paid UK Tax Payers money to improve an out of date system while they send huge profits to offshore economies.

the truth about electric cars
60 pence a kWh. 10 kWh @ 60 pence a kWh £6.00. Getting 4 miles a kWh is 40 miles for £6. I am getting 3.1 miles a kWh just now and over the past 2 months. That is 31 miles for £6 if i can get 60 pence kWh rapid charging. I can very seldom get that without it being @ a Tesla Super Charger. I can sometimes not get as much as 20 kW charging for a higher tariff than that, or 7 kW AC charging. My home tariff at 6.9 pence a kWh for 7 hours ends in July and likely i will be having to go to only 6 hours and at 7.5 pence or more a kWh. If the Electricity for Public Charging or even home charging is less next February than this then that will be just fandabbydozzy. But still not cheaper than if i was running an ICE vehicle the same size and power & doing some home charging but more public charging since when away from home i can not Home Charge.

the truth about electric cars
Not everyone lives in Cities, and not everyone pays for Taxis, Private hire cars or UBER, and there is no guarantee that a TAXI without a driver will be any cheaper to use than one with a driver. Those investing in the vehicles are not going to hire them out without them being profitable.

the truth about electric cars
I can see Motability getting more customers signing up to get EV,s when 'The Price is Right'. A Kia EV4 for £299, or a Toyota Urban or MINI Countryman EV for £0 Advance payment. Free Home Charger Installation & no VED or Insurance to pay. There will be those i expect that even without a home charger will go for what looks a great offer. Compared to the other Cheap or £0 Advance payment. Leap, Fiat etc etc.
