There will always be outliers that go wrong

It’s not like you never hear of Tesla’s combusting spontaneously...��

Or A8 recalls for fire risks

If you based buying decisions on this bollox, this would be a cycling forum ��

It's now the first problem I've seen with these and being a completely new drivetrain, it may be a while until things can get fixed in a timely fashion.

I know any new car can have issues, but if they can't be fixed because the dealer network frankly doesn't know what to do then it may be a concern.
I'm not surprised: it's possibly the worst large premium EV out there - including its handling, which is truly atrocious, apparently. Best avoided, I think.

We test drove one a while back, it’s handles as well as you could expect a 2.5 tonne SUV to handle, and perfectly adequately for SWMBO’s needs

With the cheap finance rates offered it makes a decent option in my opinion, and pls don’t take offence but the interior is much nicer, in our opinion, than the Tesla we tried

I would consider a Model S still, but there is nothing about as far as nearly new or new is concerned, and what there is, they are asking will high interest rates

Is the one in the skip a hybrid version ? I know a chap who's involved with the disposal of the fleet cars that come back for one of the large leasing companies,he says the 1st wave of hybrids have recently come back in( mainly rep cars ) and that approx 80% of them never had the charging lead out of the sealed plastic bag in the boot ( it's possible that some were charged at a charging point with a thered cable) ,he reckons its to easy just to fill them up at the filling station when they are hybrid

EQC is pure EV, there is no hybrid version

No surprise with the fleet cars though, they were only bought to take advantage of the tax regime at the time, a bmw 530e was less than half the co car tax as a 520d, there is no compulsion on co car drivers to actually use them as a hybrid

Nice looking jeep,what sort of mileage range will it do to a charge ,we fitted a dc charge unit for a local vw garage recently and they reckon it'll charge an average car to 80% in about 30 mins ,(the only drawback with it is it was 7k to buy the charge unit )
