And that's the biggest issue with sifting the dross..... Both EV promoters and slanderers are allergic to providing proper numbers.
Exactly my thing with electric. Give me real whole world costs not the pr bs. I have nothing against clean energy in fact absolutely support it, but don't feed me bs

A few years back I’d done extensive comparison testing on a prototype 22t electric excavator. The same month at Plantworx, without introducing myself, I was talking to a sales rep for the same company, who told me that this exact prototype machine had a run time eight times what me and another operator had consistently measured. How I kept a straight face I’ll never know. With electric vehicles as with wars, the first casualty is the truth.

With the price of fuel going up and possible uncertainty of supply I have bought a cheap EV car 😎

Low mileage (51k) Gen 1 Nissan LEAF with a healthy battery.
My thinking was to:
1. replace my Mondeo project car
2. Use for local trip as a daily driver
3. Charge overnight at 3.99p/kWh or from my solar when the sun shines ☀️

So far it's ticking all the boxes for me. And will add details to my own blog on this Forum :giggle:
