    I think you should add concept cars to the ‘Leaf’ list.

    We are a 2 EV family, 2019 E Golf bought used, and we love it for everything within a 50 mile radius, and a Motability leased Niro EV ( thanks Nicola). It’s a great combo.

    Rule one of overseas travel: Put ALL the light stuff in the bag you carry in the cabin.. That and `smellies` are de rigeur for the overhead lockers. I crossed Europe on a motorcycle with a pair of smalls and THREE socks – worn on rotation.

    Spot on, Tom. Tesla’s update is that they don’t know what they’re going to do to deliver a cheaper car.

    I’m disappointed. Why are Brits flying to France and Spain? Use the Eurostar and TGV, please. I know it takes longer. But you’re getting schmoozed on a junket to shill for a car company. Take a stand and use the climate friendly system, please. What’s the point of promoting EVs but ignoring the hundreds if hour of flying your job still creates? You can address this. Local press days, and stay grounded.

    Great episode and in answer to having two EV’s , we just have one car in the family and never looked back over the past 3 years of being an EV driver. In reference to the FSD, I think there are a lot of people out there that only drive because they have to. Also if you have a medical condition that makes driving difficult, then this technology may well be a life line and enable more people to do their own journies. Also if it is something you can enable, there is nothing to force you into using it.
    I make full use of the Tesla in the UK as much as it allows, in traffic jams, on 30’s, 40’s etc to maintain speed and not go over the limit. It also steers on gentle corners and slows down behind slower cars. I love all of this technology and the Tesla is again a huge jump from the Kia Niro EV 4+ that I had prior.

    Oh Ginny, you are not well informed on the status of Tesla’s Full Self Driving (FSD), in the USA.
    I’ve been using the product for two years now. I have been receiving updates as the product has improved, and the latest version I have received, 12.3.4, is a major step change, as it uses AI in place of heuristic code.
    In my opinion, this is level 4. I downloaded this version during a business trip, using the hotel’s WiFi. My first drive was from Groveland CA to Benicia CA, a distance of about 125 miles. This was a zero intervention and zero disengagement drive, and it’s only getting better. I use the feature every time I drive my 2017 Model S, which I purchased used from Tesla; and I upgraded the MCU to MCU-2, out of my own pocket, so I could use the FSD feature.
    This is unbelievably good!

    Masterplug offer a EV plug mode 2 with combined RCBO (type A) for around £50. It should be on a separate circuit Ideally but your local electrician will advise you best. You can get 2.3kw (10 amps) out of it. A standard socket could struggle with the heat as it’s not designed to take the continuous power of a EV charger. If you have a eco 7 tariff you can still add enough miles per night. Great for smaller battery cars.

    2 EV household, no issues.
    Just FYI, in order to install a 2nd wall charger, you need to get permission from your local electricity board. Your installer will help with the paperwork.

    We are also a two electric vehicle family and have had no issues whatsoever. The first is a Kona 64 soon to be replaced with a Model Y SR and you may remember the email you read out about charging and my experience bouncing up the M1 in my e-Dispatch. Well ‘Joules’ is nearly at the end of a camper conversion and will be taking us to Denmark in July.

    Got a Honda e:ny1 and got a Indra charger fitted by ovo energy with their charge anytime tariff.

    Bought it as thought it will charge overnight/ off peak but absolutely rubbish as even when you plug in all day it barely charges more than 30mins

    I just signed the deal on my first ev – 2021 kia e-niro.

    I am so looking forward to see if it keeps to the hype regarding the range. And to show my husband that range anxiety is so 2020😂😂😂

    Seeing that you have been talking great about this car since its launch i really am looking forward to the car and hope to get it as soon as possible😎😊🙂

    2 car EV family here; ID3 & ID Buzz and both are great. Can we have a bit of love for VW? They have quite a range of EV ground up designed cars now, ID 3,4,5,7,Buzz some with performance variants and now the cool looking Code.
    How many other manufacturers have that range of vehicles? Code apart the designs are “safe” but VW’s have always been evolutionary rather than revolutionary. I loved Nicola’s Buzz video which really reflected the joy of having one.
    Loving your videos and chats 😀👍
