@LUDENClassics For anyone that drives an EV, they know BP chargers are utterly useless. 170ish miles on a full charge going off your figures is about right if ‘normal driving’ is sitting at around 75-80mph.
@badge55950@AutoPap Nah, they’re cool for what they are. First car I’ve personally owned that *isn’t* an Alfa. Nippy, chuck-able, practical and cheap as chips to run. Almost 40k miles covered in 2 years for less than £1500.
@AutoInfatuation@_Alfista 1.8 twin spark, or 2.0 JTS petrol, or the full fat 3.2 V6 in the GT
If you’re getting a 159 be careful it hasn’t got a rotted subframe, and get the 1.75 turbo 👍🏽
@Seancockram I mean, any used vs new car comparison will always favour the used car.
You could get a used EV for not much, and the fuel cost would be around 8x lower than the diesel at 50mpg. Of course there are nuances to the situation.
@hjwakerley 18k miles in 12 months in mine, it retired the Giulia QF from daily duties and it’s saved me around £4500 in fuel cost. I do a fair few motorway trips so 4.0-4.2mi/kWh average but I’m happy with that. Hoot to drive on a B-road, too.
@BMW_UK@stratstonebmw@SytnerBMW had AUC i3s less than 6 months, currently sat at Stratstone Derby who are refusing to repair under warranty, have terminated hire car. Sytner Solihull - supplying dealer state fault covered by warranty. Is anyone able to talk sense? #diabolical
@hjwakerley What a car. Been after one for a long while and pulled the trigger last week (admittedly a Rex) to do my work miles. Chalk and cheese to the quad, but what a brilliant car.
