I want my next EV interior to made with rare alligator skin and the dashboard covered in polar bear fur..

Car alright, shame about the dress sense..

Can’t beat half hour with the golden girls

With an Ioniq 5 the brake lights only come on if you are totally off the throttle. If you are "nearly" off the throttle and thus slowing down fairly quickly then they dont light up.

Nevermind the ID4, Imagine the Explorer vs the updated Enyaq!!!

Howard’s MG of Yeovil were fantastic at explaining the world of EVs. With petrol, hybrid and fully electric they didn’t push either. Just gave you the facts, no pressure test drives and let you decide. Once you’ve driven an ev then they don’t need to sell you one, they sell themselves. The beauty of having an MG dealer in your town

I love your channel! ❤ i am in the USA and just put $1000 down on a awd in the same color. I had to do it direct though a dealer. No direct reservations in the USA. Can't wait to get in it! I don't have kids and just hubby and I. Caution to the wind and live a little! 😂

The Tebay group have three now, including Cairn Lodge in Scotland that have Hydrogen powered EV chargers ( yes, really!).

These new Opel`s just look terrible, every single one

Hope you are better fully soon Ginny, sending love

Be well soon, Ginny!

I dislike what Volvo did with the EX30

I drive a Cupra Born. It looks great, drives great, is a great place to sit. But, the software is an absolute car crash; it really lets the entire car down and I can't wait to get rid of it. It's such a shame. VW have had years to sort this out now, but just haven't. I hear the newer models have the newer software, but that still leaves thousands of us struggling with even basic functions. Their actions imply that they don't care about current owners. It's also been back to Cupra 5 times in 18 months with different problems; headlight and controller died, water in the boot well, stuck charge flap, clicking noises when turning, constant fogging problems. Because of all of this, I won't be buying a Cupra again.

What are the service intervals?

Thanks ladies, for another informative podcast! Greetings from Holland!

The interior, is going to get very 'Grubby', very quickly.

Volvo made in China looks and feels like a toddler car 🚗

Westmorland Group also run Cairn Lodge on the M74 in Scotland

Bullshit. The 996 of the future 😂❤️We have 2 Macans atm, besides other cars and we really are not impressed.

Actually, the KIA brand names may not be such a stand-out in the UK ( understandable as Korea is a distant land and you are all into European brands ), but in a lot of other places such as Australia the brands are as popular as Toyota.

Maple garage in Hull where I bought my first ev, an MG ZS. Never questioned me about why or pointed me towards anything else. What I liked the most was that it was sold to me just as a car. My car now is a Renault megane e tech from Bristol Street Motors in York. Same thing, I went for that e tech and they sold me an e tech. Surley dealers just want to shift cars. If someone likes the look of a car and thinks they should go for the electric one over the petrol, then do the deal on the EV.

What happened to the beltline? Looks like the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.

Ginny I hope you make a speedy recovery and get back to full health soon. Sending hugs to you! Some car dealers don't want to sell an EV as they can't charge for extorionate servicing and replacement parts.

As long as you don’t have to spend $60,000 to replace the battery 🙄

my ford dealer is biased towards mg & other manufacturers & the mechanics are anti ev got into an argument with two of them at the same dealership

After watching this video, I just have to make some comments. First, I'd like to address the efficiency issue mentioned. I've owned this car since Dec'23 and am averaging 2.9 miles/Kw. If I use the average cost of gas in my area and look at what the electric company is charging me per kw, I calculate that I'm getting 99.4 MPG. Also on the range issue, I too was concerned about the 196 miles of range and initially did not consider the car because of this. When I found out Lexus offers the Lexus Reserve program which will give a free loaner car for up to 30 days over a three year period, that was the deciding factor. Having said that, if you don't have access to a level 2 charger at home and another gas or hybrid car, I wouldn't recommend buying any electric car yet. Gas/hybrid cars are still easier to use on long trips. When solid state batteries get here (hopefully in 2027) all that will change. About 98% of my driving is around town and I typically charge it maybe once a week. It is quiet, fast, comfortable, effecient, reliable, loaded with tech and fun to drive.

Hello Ginny & Nicola, To the whole team... Why do you think Stellantis would collaborate with a Chinese company, when everyone could guess that the Chinese company will just under cut them on the price of EV's, which is why the C10, which looks like a copy of a 'Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV' could be priced so low. I wonder how big the loss to the Stellantis group will be, during this time, and on the point of time, is the collaboration a short term or long term arrangement ? Really pleased to see you doing well Ginny, big HUG.

If you have reduced mobility, now's the time to get in and out of a few different cars, e.g I got in and out of a ID3 a bit low but no problems, a ID4 however was a greater challenge! The F150 lightning a bit high but no problems, the Rivian R1T at first found it impossible to get in, I returned to it a couple of hours later and after a lot of head scratching worked out a way of getting in it, could never live with one.

Question, when is Ginny going to paint that wall 🫣😝

The same group that run Tebay and Cairn Lodge also have Rheged services on the A66 (just west of the Penrith exit on the M6)

Thanks for the video. Ginny, your video needs an uplift - it keeps flashing.

Why not test the base model? This thing is the base car but with over £8k worth of extras

Why aren’t charging rates advertised like petrol prices at charging and multi fuel forecourts?! Especially those with a mix of charging suppliers, saw prices of 49p per kw for off peak open tesla superchargers across from other suppliers fast chargers at 79p per kw and the Tesla ones weren’t even being used and all the others were full so they were all paying far higher prices. Why is there no regulation yet on charging prices?!

Come on guys.i cant take it no more I want to see your take on the Tavascan..... so many Spanish and Italian journalists have reviewed the CUPRA Tavascan..hope Ginny your okay

Sending you best wishes Ginny❤

The Westmorland family also operate Cairn Lodge Services in Scotland - not particularly relevant in the past to this audience but I had an email recently saying they'd finally installed EV Charging there too. Up till now it was just a great place for a meal and an excellent shop (but no ducks like Tebay). On another topic - a bit of an industry one but I've been a bit of a loyal VW driver for a few decades and the salesperson I dealt with last was pro-EV but the incentive from their side is a bit strange with the change to Agency model for just their EV models meaning they can't negotiate on the new Volkswagen ID cars. I like that pricing is consistent but I don't like that my loyalty to the local dealer is pointless and that they have a two tier arrangement between Electric and ICE cars.

interior looks way better, always hated the inside of mini cars the dash layout is rank as hell. this looks great

Slightly surprised Mini went ahead with the VR stunt mere weeks after Apple had to tell people not to drive wearing their headset, but at least it was a closed course. The dealer I got my Soul from was fine, but i think they are starting to get worried about the EV mandate as the frequency of calls has increased in the last six months. Expecting one in the next few weeks with the EV3 unveil coming up this week.

6:48 "This is a concept car so lots of the stuff isn't working"... judging from the reviews online they only ever sold concept cars.

The problem with legacy(OEM) dealers is that they don’t get EV’s and just push ICE. I do wonder sometimes that manufacturers also push ICE behind the scenes and given them more incentive. Stellantis, Ho da, Nissan, Ford, GM etc… are all slowing the EV evolution stating that they are not the future or too expensive. Sad

So if money was not a factor, and all three match your use case, would you have an Ioniq5, an MG4, or a Cupra Born?

I am a huge Volvo fan and i am in love with my 2007 C30. But when I went to try EX30 a big no for me. I get the progres, but many peoplče stil love some simple solutions in cars with buttons. Too much sensors and electronics for my tase. So i guess i will stick with my C30 for a bit more. Am I really the only one left that likes manual things over electronics, buttons ower touch screen?

Great podcast as always girls,get better soon Ginny ❤

Great to see you up and about Ginny, hope you are fully recovered very soon. Just wondering, is the paint colour patch on the wall behind you a result of your 'drugs'? Don't do it!

Did I hear correct. Ginny spoke about holding up her crutch 😮. Good dealers. When looking to buy my IONIQ 5 I sent out specific questions to all the Hyundai dealers in Kent. Well the responses were so varied and polarised from good to bad. The winner was Marshals in Maidstone. The sales lady was the only response to answer all the questions. Of course she got the order. She kept me informed on delivery. From the original 12 months I got the car 5 months early. I think she was chuffed as it was the first Namsan model she sold.

Brake lights when using levels of regen has been sorted for vehicle manufacturers. UN regulation 13-H Uniform provisions concerning the approval of passenger cars with regard to braking [2023/401]. States that deceleration greater than 1.3 m/s2 must illuminate the stop lights.

It's ok buying cheaper ev's But then you have to do with the issue of public charges When you can't charge from home they cost a lot more Then say tesla The government are taken their Time To get a grip on the prices because they are making a hell of a lot on all the VAT, If Tesla can do it right? Why can't everyone else after all these years What do you think
