Back to diesel

[SteveK71]

Hi all.
New member, just gone back to diesel after 3 EVs. Loved the low cost and environmental aspect of EV driving but some awful journeys looking for chargers and number of chargers not increasing rapidly enough.
New GLC, loving it so far.
Had an E63 in the past, pleased crabbing issue seems to have been sorted.

Thank-you.

A fair spread of manufacturers Tesla, Kia & BMW. I have to agree with your conclusions, although I have only rented EVs for a maximum of 2 weeks.

Still think it’s a shame and will definitely go back to EV, but currently enjoying having a full tank range of 550 miles and peace of mind (and I must admit the feel of an engine even if it isn’t a powerful one)

Welcome back!

Too many negatives in life with an EV for me so I won’t be going electric anytime soon

Welcome back!

.......and too many uncertainties ....ammonia, hydrogen, better battery technology or even acceptable emissions from ICE....we have another 12 years at least, before deciding what to move to from ICE.

I’ve never been an early adopter and don’t virtue signal. Even if every vehicle in the UK went electric overnight, it would make no significant difference to world polution. Our “powers that be” are a bunch of virtue signallers. Oooh look at us we are world leaders in emissions control.

Hello and welcome
As long as you don't drive up to a charge point in your diesel and try plugging it in
