I don't think you entirely read my post....
I'm a proper petrolhead and have driven the smoothest diesels and petrols you could ever find on the road but none of them,including top end luxury performance cars match a EV in terms of smoothness,refinement and performance on a public road.
A 8 speed gearbox is great but when compared to a new EV which doesn't have gears,there's no comparison.
And,as a person who now delivers cars all around the country,I'm in a great position to actually speak from experience in respect of the charging infrastructure.
In respect of many of your other comments,you appear to be quoting directly from the daily mail and they are simply nonsense for the most part.
EVs are inherently more reliable than combustion engine vehicles,they simply have far fewer moving parts and batteries are proving to last longer than was ever expected...there are Tesla's out there on huge mileages on their original batteries.
Car batteries aren't like phone batteries,they are completely different!
As I say,whether you are a luddite or not,go and get a 24 hour test drive of a modern EV and you will be amazed.
Very,very few people ever go back to fuel burning cars after living with an EV.

Well,just like in a combustion engine car,the more you put your foot down,the more fuel you use.
It doesn't effect the battery life however,if that's what you mean.
The only thing that can reduce a batteries capacity over a long period of time is doing rapid charge after rapid charge,over and over again over a short period of time (rapid chargers are ones you finf on the motorway etc that charge the car in 30 minutes or so,most people charge at home or work on slower chargers which take longer)

Of course but Forest put on Take That this week in the rain. 

Since I retired,I've delivered new cars on a part time basis (about a 50 percent mix of petrols and electric cars,very,very rarely a diesel) and despite my initial scepticism,I've found that the British charging infrastructure is actually now very good and improving on a weekly basis.
I regularly deliver from 150 to 300 miles away with just a comfort break every couple of hours which allows a 30 minutes top up charge whilst I'm there.
The trouble is,that the media are perpetrating myths that don't stand up anymore about ev's but it's all the public have to go on
I started my journey with a plug in hybrid three years ago but having found that I use electric 90 percent of the time,we are moving to a full EV in a couple of months (polestar 2 or Hyundai ioniq 5 most probably as they are my favourite cars to deliver)

Smoother,quieter,quicker...there's no comparison to be honest,try and have a drive of one if you can,it will open your eyes mate.

No. The optional maintenance extension seemed prudent, as tesla will charge thousands if anything breaks. Then the really attractive Apr wasn't available so the rates went up. And because it was PCP I thought it sensible to pay for the bodywork package, because they'll shaft you on the return of the vehicle. 

Was the jump in monthly cost the “optional” extras like Tesla remotely turning the brakes on and allowing the radio to work?

Hyundai Kona 64Kw.
200bhp, not that I drive fast but far better pick up than my Clio GT.
Top speed 102, which sounds puny but even in Germany I won't go over a ton on the autobahn. 
Bargain. I was looking at a hateful, evil tesla but with all the extras and dealer sleight of hand, a 290 monthly payment turned out to be over 400 on PCP. I ended up with a HP of 345 per month. Happy motorist here.

Easy choice then,plus a much nicer drive and zero emissions 👍

I'm sure I saw an interview with him where he said this had been done in January! He's also said that he doesn't expect any movement until June at the earliest.Players on holiday,initial contacts made and under discussion,house moves to be considered ,salaries,tours of Moor Farm etc etc -,these things all take time.I can also remember 2/3 players saying they'd signed for us weeks before announcements were made and ,for me,keeping a tight lid on incomings is the best way.As you say,time to relax and stop fretting about league tables for a few weeks!

We literally don't know anything about what's going on yet 🤣

Fornah - Sierra Leone
Hourihane - Rep. of Ireland
Elder - Australia
Forsyth - Scotland
Collins - Rep. of Ireland

There's probably more that I've missed, but how could a self-professed football expert not know that on occasions as recently as a few months back, more than half of our starting 11 were current, or ex-internationals?
I know Mexico has it's issues, but surely a 25 year internet outage isn't one of them!

Well, made the decision to buy an EV. 300 miles on a full charge. 
My work allows staff to charge up for free, and I reckon a couple of trips to remote sites per week will allow me to claim enough mileage to cover the finance on the car. 
Pays for itself. 

A completely integrated transport system can only be achieved in city's and towns and it should definitely be taking place but a large part of the country just isn't viable or suitable and will always need some form of personal transport and a clean and efficient EV is the ideal solution for those areas.

Morgan Whittaker on the phone to his agent when he heard Rooney had got the job

Can someone explain how someone as useless as Rooney still gets decent jobs? It’s absolutely baffling how anyone could consider him.

Wee tenner on Plymouth to go down next season. Free money although he won’t see Halloween 

Here's an outlandish thought, maybe he was so pissed off with blues fans, that he took the job on to deliberately screw them over?
If he does get the Plymouth job and does a decent job, it won't seem so outlandish.🙄

He's already had two seasons in the championship where he was mostly excellent,he will actually be better in a league where there is a little more football played imo

That's not actually a glowing reference. The best things about Derby
It's alright, it has Rolls Royce, Toyota, it's relatively cheap, it's central, real ale pubs and it's near Nottingham if you want the very things i mentioned? 
Derbyshire has the beauty and the hiking that he loves. And beautiful villages. I do love that about Derby, it's location.
