Can a used electric SUV be the ultimate money-saver? This owner swapped to a 2022 Vauxhall Mokka-e Ultimate and found that staying on a standard electric rate actually worked out cheaper. Plus, the self-parking tech was a major surprise.

October Sales in U.K. Fri @SMMT - normally a slow month ahead of December push.
BEV 32% marketshare and will easily achieve the adjusted ZEV mandate for 2026. BEV now on track to overtake Petrol sales, undoubtedly a result of fuel price hikes caused by the Iranian conflict. Diesel is dead.
BEV plus PHEV / REEV likely to exceed 50% marketshare as consumers understand the need for energy diversity.
The mandate is working @jreynoldsMP but consumer behaviour will always correlate closely to pump prices as we ween ourselves off the oil dependency.

Hold on to your hats anti EV Clan..... UK battery electric vehicle registrations grew by roughly 54% in October from โa year earlier, overtaking hybrid and โpetrol models and taking nearly a 32% market share, industry data showed on Wednesday.

Brand new EV been on SORN for months.
Except itโs 6 years old and been SORN for 1 month after MOT expired.
But, the amusing thing is, had it been a petrol car they wouldnโt have looked at it twice, never mind taken a picture and Googled the reg plate.
Cars are SORN every day for all sorts of reasons.
Itโs always funny seeing their weird cope.

As the owner invited me to post this picture on social media of his appalling and selfish parking, here it is ๐
p.s. the car park was actually quiet, too.

With all the talk of preparing for emergencies/power outages why no talk in the media of many EVs being equipped with V2L capability that keep the house running? Missed opportunity to talk about one of the many benefits? More likely than BS about freezing in a storm on the road.

We travel anywhere in the UK mainland.
This week we have been in Scotland, Newcastle, Liverpool and Wales.
Next week will be similar with the addition of Kent and Devon.

On this monthโs โReaders Ridesโ segment, the super-interesting @DrMoragKerr wrote a comprehensive article for us about why she bought, kept and occasionally even sleeps in her @MGmotor MG4 on her travels ๐

The Nissan was released first.
Technically the Ferrari looks like a Nissan, not the other way around.

A car owner in Beijing found his car burnt out by the roadside.
Heโd left an NFC card on the wireless charging pad, which apparently tried to charge it, heating it until it burst into flames.
(Handymen, remember to take your tape measures with you!)

Back in 2022 we named the Kia EV6 as our overall Car of the Year, and four years later it represents something of a bargain as a used car ๐ buff.ly/NFHdDdr

?Public โก๏ธ๐charging is expensive right? ๐
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟโก๏ธ ๐ Holiday report.
โก๏ธ1,171 miles in our Kia EV6 using only Tesla energy.โก๏ธ
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ Weโve just returned from our Anglesey trip, including the ~334-mile drive there, exploring mid/west Wales and the island plus the journey home.
๐ชซ We only used Tesla Superchargers (I took the monthly membership for the trip.)
๐งฎThe numbers:
๐ 3.6 miles/kWh average ๐ First charge at home at 4.99p/kWh ~ยฃ4 for about 270 miles.
โก~ยฃ125 spent at Tesla Superchargers
๐ท Thatโs ~11p per mile!
๐ Not a single queue for a charger (as ever).
โฝ๏ธ For comparison, the same distance in a 40mpg petrol car would cost around
ยฃ232!
at current average prices of ~175p/litre.
โฝ๏ธ ๐ข๏ธA 50mpg diesel would be about ยฃ213
at ~200p/litre.
๐ท๐ทThatโs roughly ยฃ103 saved against petrol
๐ทยฃ84 against diesel.๐ณ
A proper holiday, plenty of driving, mountains, Welsh โweatherโ, motorwaysโฆ.and I wasnโt driving like Miss Daisy.
No charger queues and 1,171 miles for around ยฃ129.
Whatโs not to like?
