nod Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Most claims can be taken with a pinch of salt A year or so back I put a post on here about my local ford dealer loaning me an E transit 150 miles off a full charge Not a lot but enough to get me around our jobs each day The tue figure was around 70-80 per charge No passengers or goods No heater on Until truly independent testing reviews are done Most people will be skeptical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really odd thing is, except for long journeys, I get to places in the same time. Also found that a set of brake pads can easily last over 100k miles.

Compulsory stopping before entering, and a very strictly enforced 10 MPH limit. Even (expletive deleted)ing pensioner emmets would manage to get on one then, rather than waiting to there is nothing within 250 metres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found when I was comuting from Elgin to Aberdeen I would just go with the flow of the traffic. But the loony tunes, would fly past at inappropriate dangerous areas in such a rush to get past everyone. 50 miles later you were one or two cars behind them.
