@ElectrifyingCom Can you respond to this Mark McCann video please ... this is a well respected youtuber who is seriously having a go at EVs https://t.co/STpAOgkEup

[Paul White @synpol]

@Everyth1ngElec I think you guys should watch this recent video from Mark McCann on YouTube ... he is a well respected petrol head with a reputation for uncovering scandals .... He has just had a go at EVs with a pile of half truths and stats. https://t.co/STpAOgkEup

@KiaUK day 4 of my EV9 sitting on the drive dead …. No car … no great customer service …. And no slot to look at it until mid September
Never had this issue with BMW or Audi #12vdead

@united 1 round Trip to the USA from Scotland and so far 3 cancelled flights out of 4 and 3 full lost days of time … disappointing doesn’t even scratch the surface of my feelings towards United right now …. Still not home

[Paul White @synpol]

@united 2 flights cancelled in 2 days and 2 full days of vacation lost …. Really disappointing performance from United and shocked at the lack of concern for their passengers

@RBM92J @KiaUK A recent study conducted by Recurrent on 15,000 electric vehicles brought onto the market between 2011 and 2023 confirms that electric car battery replacement is a rare occurrence. Indeed, just 1.5% of EVs have required a new battery

@DrHindmarsh @KiaUK Cheap cars are great but how can that be achieved when everything costs more now ?

The price of money is rising and residual values are uncertain so the guaranteed future valuation from dealers is helpful

Salary sacrifice is the way forward if you can get it

[Paul White @synpol]

@KateFantom Ah it’s the old test of those who read the whole post and those who don’t

[Paul White @synpol]

@GraemeTiffany @KiaUK Is that not true for most cars?

This one has the highest Euro NCAP rating for pedestrian and driver safety and the automated safety systems are designed to prevent pedestrian collision

[Paul White @synpol]

@ChrisBBridgett @KiaUK Probably …. Although a smaller 7 would have a market too

[Paul White @synpol]

@MirKumari @KiaUK The KIA cars are made with a high proportion of sustainable and recyclable materials

EV use far less in the way of brake pads etc that traditional cars as they use regeneration for brake & Pads can last 3 times longer than ICE cars

Surely EVs are a step in the right direction

[Paul White @synpol]

@ChrisBBridgett @KiaUK I think there is a smaller EV7 in the works

[Paul White @synpol]

@HFQRP @KiaUK 0.28 Drag Coefficient… making it one of the most aerodynamically efficient cars made today

[Paul White @synpol]

@MirKumari @KiaUK You know this is an Electric car … right ? So little pollution in use …. Also this has a 5 Star Euro NCAP safety rating which is the highest safety rating for pedestrians as well as drivers

[Paul White @synpol]

@Ne_101010 @KiaUK PCH is the way to go with leases on these starting at £700 per month

[Paul White @synpol]

@DrHindmarsh @KiaUK Go to KIA finance for PCP quotes on this they are doing pretty well

[Paul White @synpol]

@RoperDarrell @KiaUK The EQB is tiny compared to this on the inside … they are going after that BMW IX and Volvo EX90 buyers and it’s like 20k less than the EX90 entry model

[Paul White @synpol]

@RBM92J @KiaUK This is a brand new car and the battery is covered by the KIA 7 year warranty…. So your question won’t be relevant until that warranty expires …. And nobody here can predict the cost of batteries in 7 years time as the cost of batteries is coming down all the time

[Paul White @synpol]

@ElectrifyingCom @Tuskerdirect @Nickishields @Nicola_Hume @GinnyBuckley Just ordered my new EV9 through the Tusker Scheme at work .... its a no brainer at the high end as well as the lower end of the EV Price range..... Save on Tax, NI, BIK, Maintenance and Insurance 😀
