Quote from: slowmo on February 06, 2024, 10:16:14 AMWut?

Nothing against anyone here slowmo, i'm just helping expose EV's as the gigantic hazardous fraud they are, sold under the banner of "doing your bit for the environment". What a farce.

Mostly on the open road do I get the high kms and if I'm not going on some back road going fast. Generally I find it that it gives a good fuel consumption.
Regarding sound insulation, sometimes it sounds like a tractor but when out and about it's not too bad and on the motorways or open road I didn't hear the engine as much. Interior wise driving around town or in a city it's very quiet but I find it's a bit noisy with creaks from the interior on our bumpy roads. Probably doesn't help that my car is lowered on Eibach springs.

Every EV owner who thinks they are doing their "bit" for the environment due to pollution "decrease", guess what, CO2 (the main emission emitted by gasoline cars) is what plants absorb to provide you back with O2. And no, the planet is not getting warmer Greta.

Population control if you ask me.

Wut?

Thanks B5

Good to get a better idea of the real world consumption. Do you get 1100kms with a mix of town and open road? Are you light/heavy footed?
Any comments about the sound insulation as well? I've currently got a BMW 5 series which is a pretty nice drive all round and probably the quietest car I've owned.
