    The chip shortage really concerns me. The cost has pretty much doubled and they were out of stock at Tesco last time I ordered.

    My Kona always gets 300+ even on the motorway when i set the adaptive cruise control on at 70mph

    Been watching the prices closely and agree with your summary. Picking up a 2019 Model 3 Performance tomorrow. Excited! šŸ˜†
  • @philiphookham8135
    I completely agree with your analysis. At the end of May I purchased a 3 year old Tesla Model 3 Performance for roughly 60% of its original purchase price and it drives and looks like new with no battery degradation that I can find. However, more remarkable, is that I've just sold back to BMW the BMW I've owned for the past 40 months, for Ā£1450 less than I paid for it. Now that's what I call low depreciation! In my case, the "cost to change" to EV seems to have worked in my favour.

    Bought a 2020 egolf for the wife - she loves it. Does a week commute and charge at the weekend whihc is perfect. Traded in a 2018 polo automatic + 2k - great value

    Great video, nice to see prices settling down. My head says Kona but ā¤ says I3S!
  • @gbatty4691
    This is exactly what Iā€™ve noticed which is why Iā€™ve an appointment Monday to test drive a BMW i3 & a Hyundai Kona also going to look at the rest of the stock that the ev specialist dealer has in stock, thanks for all the info Iā€™ve gleaned from your channel during the last couple of years, entertaining and valuable content. Cheers fella šŸ‘

    I needed this...thanks for making it...

    Surprised no mention of the Hyundai Ioniq 38kWh. In Feb I got the top spec Premium SE, 20 plate, 39K miles. Gets 5-5.5mi/kWh, easily over 200 miles of range in the warmer weather..... all for Ā£18k. Good size car, well equipped plus 5 year transferable warranty. Also for similar money you can get the MG5 too, yes it lacks an app for remote control/preconditioning and the infotainment is terrible, but it does have an 8 year warranty. If you stretch for the larger battery then you'll easily get over 200 miles range

    Great roundup, I currently have an id3 on a company lease scheme through tusker. Got about a year left, but their lease prices have shot up, makes the second hand market look more attractive again.
  • @RyoHazuki911
    3 year old iPace with less than 50k miles are now sub Ā£25k seems like a great used buy also
  • @effin1233

    Not been a fan of EVs until recently when considering ā€˜downsizingā€™ current Volvo. As we have a solar/battery system recently installed and changed to šŸ™ it does seem a no brainier. Seem to be looking at pre-loved Tesla 3 as cannot afford new anything these days, so took comfort from your comments on them as an owner, thank you for your listingā€¦ šŸ‘šŸ»

    I bought a Hyundai Kona 71 reg Premium facelift model 17 months old 2 months ago. It was from my local Hyundai dealer and cost just under Ā£23,000. I love the car, the quality and the drivability. Many of the reviews criticised the front wheel spinning when pulling away. I use mine in eco mode which gives a lovely smooth take off, and I am averaging 4.7 miles/kwh. I have the OVO overnight rate for cheaper charging at home which costs 10p per kWh. So the approximate cost of 10 to 80% (roughly 50 kWh) is Ā£5. Not bad for over 200 miles range. I know I won't get the same economy on motorway runs or in the winter, but it will still be an economical car to run. What's not to like!
  • @taopilot48
    Is there a way of checking battery condition at the individual cell level?
  • @thekennett3159
    Great content as ever..really enjoy watching your videos. Just wondered if you know what has happened with Mr EV Andrew Till. He seems to have gone silent for a while now?
  • @doinmebest
    Any thoughts on the Mustang? Starting to see more of these about now.
  • @davidcoveney
    Good points - six months ago I was a bit concerned that I'd wasted a lot of money on my leased Honda e, as it hadn't depreciated much. Today it's pretty much where you'd expect it to be and matches the lease calculations. Now have a big spreadsheet as I work out what to do next - we do a fair number of long trips in a loaded up ICE estate and the EV infrastructure isn't quite there for that yet. Leafs are a definite bargain if you can charge at home.
