On what planet does a 77kWh Hyundai Ioniq take 30.8 hours for a “full” charge & 10.9 hours for a “quick” charge😳
Yes planet @AutoTrader_UK where all #EV listings all only show granny cable (full) & 7kW charge times (quick)
On this planet earth this car can charge in 17 minutes!
@tillathenun @AutoTrader_UK @MrRoryReid @AutoTrader If you sell an #EV on Autotrader they turn away buyers by displaying only “3 pin granny cable” & AC charge times mislabelled as Full & Quick & no DC times!
Full charge/Quick charge-on the go
VW ID.3 29 hrs/ 9.5 hrs
e208. 24hrs/7.5hrs
Taycan 4s 8hrs / 1.6hrs(80%)

@MadeleineCuff @CarbonBrief @DrSimEvans @zap_map Sadly the picture is much less clear cut when using public chargers which have risen in price much faster than petrol or diesel in the last yr
We’ve done a simple “cost per thousand miles” so you can easily compare costs for efficient & less efficient cars

The real number for electric cars is around half that or 1% of UK cars on the road as detailed here
