Just seen new BYD Dolphins for just under £25,000 on Autotrader, that's a drop of more than £1000.
In contrast a Peugeot 208 is a little over £20,000.
I'd say by any measure the Dolphin is a ni ...

I still think we are due an avalanche of EVs.
Within 5 years EVs should be much cheaper than ICE cars are today with none of the current limitations.
I think basically the 2030 ban shifted to 2035 w ...

Took a test drive in a BYD Dolphin today
Seems like a quality car that would be fun to own.
The cabin and controls are a bit quirky, gear lever forward for reverse.

Anyone looking into home batteries?

There's a new/old "study" being revived claiming EVs have more emissions.
It's practically too crazy to debunk, but basically extra weight means 400x more tire particles and more brake particles :s ...

One claim that is being teased is that EVs can step up from a not atypical 4 miles per kwh to 10 miles per kwh.

It has made me realise that charging times are always presented incorrectly.

There is also gigacasting and lighter motors going on.
I think in 5 years time, EVs might actually be lighter than ICE cars.
That will be especially so when range worries stabilise.
There is probab ...

It also worth remembering that every EV from the last 15 years has been superseded by a new model that is better and cheaper.
The car above will be superseded by something cheaper and better!

Owner says it gets 40-50 miles of range.
