You’d still be richer if you owned the Mondeo you could actually afford.
What an ignorant, bitter and condescending post.
Sure, and this isn’t?

I’d rather rent a £70,000 554bhp BMW than drive a Mondeo. Probably not the only one.
Or how about this guy?

Imagine posting that owning a Mondeo is something special laugh
The arrogance on this thread is palpable, try applying your scorn a little more proportionately?

Stopping at a French motorway services (don’t need petrol yet but I do need a break, what’s that about cars with a 600 mile range…) there are banks of chargers with plenty free and. with speeds up to 300 kW and they have a digital sign displaying the prices just as you find for petrol.

The price is 0.57 euros per kWh, a lot cheaper than petrol Thats what we need in the UK, competitive pricing for public fast chargers .

Its simply not a problem as the infrastructure improves.
My mother lives 1300 miles away in Europe. I can do the trip in 20 hours with just 1 stop on the continent in Germany to fill up fuel. I leave England early in the morning and just about get there before the sun goes down in summer smile.

Been doing it for nearly 10 years now.

What kind of range do you get when you are doing 140kph on the motorway?

Right on cue various sections of the reach around club pile on with arsey posts that add nothing other than attempts to belittle others. Doesn't help your case. Behave.

After all, why would you want to do something as luxurious as watching TV when you want to, much better to do it when it’s cheap.
Not a problem, get yourself one of these and power the TV yourself.

Get fit and free up electricity for charging EVs.
Win-win.
€3000

That’ll take a while to pay for itself.

Not to mention all the extra food I’m going to have to consume to power my TV for 6 hours a night.

Reminds me of the episode of Red Dwarf where they try and use a bicycle powered hair dryer to fry an egg.

I speak as I find, and you are certainly not behind the door with ttty posts either. Clearly not appreciative of home truths are you Mr " I'm just interested in the drivetrain engineering."

Which is, just for a change, quite a decent gag. Bravo.

So, just to be clear, you drive 1300 miles in 20 hours with just one break? That's nearly 70mph average speed.
Wow.
Would it not be safer/cheaper to just use a plane?

Well giving most of salary each month to a finance company just means you’ll always be poor.
It really doesn’t if your wages are high to start with. All relative.

Anyway back to EVs, now they are depreciating faster than a used Dacia where are the savings coming from?
