    A great review as always. Very thorough and informative. Given that electric cars will shortly succumb to the “luxury vehicle tax at £40,000” the Advance makes the most sense (if it was in my price range). Why pay an extra £400 vehicle tax annually (??) for a few extras? I will wait until depreciation takes its toll. 😆

    How many litres is the (rear) boot size?

    In the 4WD version what is the size of the frunk?

    Also more importantly for UK is a heat pump included in every version?

      But if you wish to create a shortlist of cars, having the boot size in litres makes it easier to compare 1 car with another.

      No you are not alone, it all depends on your childhood memories, when i was a kid i watched hotwheels acceleracer and they have this team which is consisted of electric cars called silencerz and they managed to make it cool, since then i always think that electric cars are cooler than ice, the emotion that ice lovers are so proud is all just in your head, otherwise people would still be riding horses because those give more emotion and fun and thrills than even the most fun ICE cars

      I actually find zero noise is quite dangerous as with out sound it’s very easy to go very fast without noticing on a wide road. And all these EVs can go fast quickly. It’s not rare to be approaching a corner or junction a little thand you realised you was going. ​@@GreatSpot8608

      Totally. When I first saw one I thought “what a bloater”. It’s much bigger than you think.
      Just over £22K for a used two year old long range are on the market now with low mileage.

      But then it wouldn’t be so roomy inside. I’ve ordered one after test driving loads and discounting loads because they were too cramped inside. There are very few EVs where a 6ft person can sit behind another 6ft person comfortably. Either leg room or head room is a problem. Or both.

    how opinions can differ, lol. Test drove several Teslas, have 24 Ioniq 5 and the interior of the Ioniq 5 feels tons better than the Teslas’ ones, looks much more premium as well. I doubt the ’25 is so much different but fair enough, personal pref maybe

      Well original model Y has poor build quality. But the recent models are built much better. All non fremont US models are built extremely well. Only place the Ioniq 5 feels cheaper is the center console which doesn’t move with ease or solidity.

    If you are going to claim that DC chargers with >50kW power are “rare” and then show that charging with a 50kw charger takes an hour, it would be worthwhile to quantify what “rare” means. There are ~6,500 DC chargers in the UK with >150kw of power, and they are increasing in number very quickly. In the next 6 months I expect this to exceed 8,500*, which is the number of petrol stations in the UK. Are petrol stations also rare?

    *Number of150kw+ chargers in UK:
    2024 YTD: ~6,500
    2023: 3,850
    2022: 1,750
    2021: 1,000

      @@ronrubble I don’t think they are that rare anymore either. I use rapid chargers when I drive from the North West to London and back and there plenty of 350kw Gridserve and 150kw Apple Green chargers. They are not cheap, but since I do about 80% of my charging at home on an overnight EV tariff, I can live with the prices. I am guessing that this particular reviewer has not been to Rugby services or one of the other services which have 12+ Applegreen chargers or 6+ Gridserve chargers. I think he needs to get Zapmap.
