The Evoque PHEV has an interesting one where they kill the electric motor at 135km/h in order to improve efficiency seeing as an EV runs out of puff a higher speeds in any event. Apparently you can...

For me at least, the Lexus design doesn't work and they never seem to bubble to the top in review comparisons and given that there are a gazillion options out there it's handy enough to stick with...

I'm sure everyone with an EV has a separate cable for the daily charging and don't need to faff around in the boot to find one. In the i3 in any event, that faffing about cable lives in the frunk...

This thing popped up on my YT feed: https://youtu.be/33qjeTyBswM. I’m sold. Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaasssssseeeeee bring in the fast version and not just that bottom rung diesel equivalent shite.

Surely

It sounds like a good problem for Vodafone to solve.

Have you tried the other networks? Or looked at Comreg’s coverage map to see if there is any difference between the networks in your location?...

Eir definitely does wifi calling which can solve this. It's just a bit of a pain if you're somewhere else and happen to connect to some crappy wifi network and you're getting poor call quality.

If I'm going to look at my crystal ball, I think most of the third/fourth wave happening here and elsewhere is because of time of year. It was reasonably predicted that January to certainly March and...

Tbh I'm with you. I'm actually totally uninterested in the SRS business whatever you called it type of motoring but clearly many people are interested in it and that's all cool. And you know why SUVs...

Apparently German is liking AZ now and are also considering prioritising the first jab over second jabs. If this becomes the EU way and it works as advertised then we should be able to ramp things up.

Excellent, good to know that someone else has done something similar and it's not just a crazy idea in my head. We need to actually look at one and drive it and all that jazz but it looks like a...

This is what I'm thinking in PHEV land, by the way. Lots of electrics and JLR, what could possibly go wrong.

1,800kg isn’t bad these days. The yoke I’m looking at is about 2,000kg I think.

The reality is that a Ford Mondeo of a few years ago would run rings around anything mentioned here if it were just about ability. Crank has a point obviously, we’re now into some ludicrous 2,000kg...

Crackpots. Well maybe that was a bit harsh because I think restrictions and recommendations of some sort will exist but not to that level of scaremongering.

Yes let’s berate the guy who had the audacity to provide real world experiences of the topic at hand.

It is entirely possible that I will do absolutely nothing because it feels like we’re trundling around in a twilight zone where ICE is bad (according to the government), PHEV is bad because it’s...

Google “European Car Mechanic” in Newtownmountkennedy and give him a shout. I know he does a lot of BMW 5-Series air suspension jobs.

Yes for sure. There are no easy answers.

And tbh it’s all about vaccinations now in any event so let’s just truck on.

Mrs DMZ has indicated that she’d want an ID3/ID4 for reference but I’m unconvinced tbh. About the cars primarily. Lots of stories of shoddiness, corner cutting, poor refinement, utterly mindbendingly...

I'm thinking of doing some fleet consolidation and getting some new wheels for my wife. She has expressed an interest in an EV but tbh she's kind of Ming's school of motoring and I'm not sure I'm...

Maybe not fully related to this thread but I’m curious to see how the fall in new car sales irrespective of Brexit will affect things in a couple of years time. I’m sure both UK (for all it matters)...

It’ll be quite funny if it turns out that SF are the protectors of basic civil liberties like being allowed to protest. Despite apparently being run by a military council or whatever.

I’m...

I have never seen that in Europe. Usually it’s a €100 pre-auth which not brilliant if you’re using a debit card but fairly irrelevant on a credit card as it will never hit the account.

Decent uptick in vaccinations the last couple of days which is good
