The one that is missing, that took me surprisingly long to figure out on longer journeys... Overtaking. Obviously if we never over take we will use less energy, but it will take way longer to get to where we want on those long journeys. I know, I tried it. The balance I found was rather simple. The biggest enemy I noticed for my EV is hills, EV's go up hills fine, but the range falls when you go up one. So now I do not overtake when going up any sort of a hill. If it is flat, or downhill, then I overtake. But going uphill I am fine sitting in the "slow lane." I find this has given me the ideal balance on some economy, and some much needed speed on longer journeys. So I can be doing 50mph behind a truck going up, and then go flying past it at 70mph once the road levels out or goes downhill. It really shortens the time behind the wheel.

My similar vehicle doen't leak. I've driven it in heavy down pours and no leaks.

I have a similar vehicle !

I bought an e-Up! last December after watching your earlier video when you first found the Seat Mii (I wanted the extra bells and whistles). THANK YOU! I've been REALLY impressed with the efficiency too. Our "main" car is a Kia e-Niro, which has a range of nearly 300 miles, so obviously that's what we use for long journeys. But I much prefer driving the e-Up! The steering wheel controls are more logical and comfortable. And the seating position is more comfortable (important to me, as I'm a back pain sufferer). I have a weekly 100 mile round trip, including a lot of mostly motorway and a 10 mile each way commute. For shorter journeys, I usually use Eco+ mode, but sometimes such to Eco on the motorway. The range is quoted as 125 miles. Normally you'd take that with a pinch of salt, and the real world range would be less. One week in FEBRUARY, out of curiosity, I decided to see what range it could actually get. I finally ran out of juice after 172 miles, over 37% further than it's supposed to be capable of. I haven't pushed my luck again to trust the exercise; once it's enough. But it amuses me every so often when fully charged and it tells me I have over 200 miles of range (it's lying: it's not THAT good). I have no idea what period the app's "long term" data covers, but it tells me that I've averaged 6.1mi/kWh over the last 534 miles. It's phenomenal!

Is the inverter a True Sine wave inverter? "Pure" sine wave is just marketing. But non-sine wave inverters are really risky for appliances that have a motor in it. Can you please confirm this?

The Ioniq gets close and is a proper 5 seat saloon. I currently get 6.5m/kwh and 4 to 5 in winter doing 38miles a day on varied urban/rural A roads. Yes, we need more economic EVs, not these electron gobbling SUVs.

hi we have the ccs1 to chademo adapter & ccs2 to chademo adapter which was tested in Europe and in the USA. please let me know if you would like to purchase one. accraine.co.uk/product-category/adapter/

Sneezed…😂😂😂😂😂

For sure i will not buy. They can stick their car where the sun dont shine

I guess the only close one is the old e-Niro :)

Bought a used Mii as first intro to EV’s & agree with everything you say. Couldn’t be happier!

@ElectricVehicleMan is talking real figures; not quoted figures from a manufacturer. We have owned our Mii Electric for 2 years and it is genuinely is economical with the electrons it uses. We have just used ours to Gatwick (180 mile round trip - nearly all motorway) and it averaged 5.1m/kWh. We charge the Mii at home using OVO - and it costs us £3.60 'ish for a FULL charge - so efficiency per £ is high - you cannot hyper mile even a dirty diesel to do 180 miles on £3.60's worth of dirty fuel!!! Our other car, an Ioniq 5 is less efficient at 4m/kWh; but it still gives us a genuine range of 280m if we need it - and it is just a fantastic car. Again, charging at home is about £6.50 for a FULL charge. Anyone who comments negatively against EVM and many other pro EV channels obviously does not care about trying to save the planet - they have the "head in the sand syndrome!!" thinking it is somebody else's problem...

Kia NiroEV and Hyundai are way more efficient than a model 3 and actually do advertised ranges. Better battery system all round for longevity too. Its been this way since the Eniro 2019.

Hi. Do batteries hold their charge when not in use? Thanks

There needs to be more analysis on WHY this car is more efficient, given it’s just the ‘same old’ battery technology. I assume it’s weight. We also need verification of the in-car efficiency reporting. Are we positive it is accurate??

Local councils seem to use destination charging as a cash cow. In Scarborough they use Connected Kerb who charge 50p per kWh. But I've seen higher prices in some towns.

Just the info I was looking for! Why no electricity equivalent specs for mpg? Manufacturers are getting away with bad engineering.

Have an e-up! and love it. Just been checking out autotrader and noticed a few small differences in the mii compared to the e-up! e-up! has a rear backup camera which the mii doesn’t appear to have. Also has steering wheel controls for volume, phone, skipping tracks etc which I can’t see on the mii. Boot has a cover which gives a flat loading area/underfloor storage in the up but not the mii that I’m looking at. Probably more differences I haven’t spotted but worth pointing out as these may be important if trying to decide between the variants. As far as I’m aware there was only one specification for the e-Up! (that was the case when I ordered mine but that was during covid)

Crazy you can buy a one year old 73 reg used corsa ev for under 14k

What about if rapid charger like Tesco etc

Aptera, out soon, is claiming 10 mi😊/Kwh

My question is .... how have they actually done that ? its not the motors its not the aero its not the weight, what is it ..

When you see traffic lights ahead change to red, then come off the gas & coast & brake gently to a stop without crawling. Reading the road ahead is good driving, avoids accidents or getting caught up in one. Oh, please use your indicators at roundabouts, that helps drivers to know they can judge the roundabouts speeds.

I believe hub motors could be the answer, unlocking massive potential for both small efficient cars, small cargo vans and more besides.

We drive a 2022 Kia Niro Ev and find it great, but bought a new E Up in February 2024 and has blown our minds with its efficiency. I calculated that the 7000km (4500 miles) we have on it already has cost us 40 euro or 35 stg approx. Its charged every night at 5.45 cent per KW or 4.5p / kw. Its also a great car to drive. I think Ireland is now the only place you can buy a new E Up. We paid 17500 euro or 15k stg approx. As our second car it doesn't do motorway driving. Its all rural driving on B and C roads

My 64kWh Hyundai Kona is giving me over 4 miles per kWh at present. Spalding-Warwick & return 4.2 sticking to speed limits.

A lot of people are making a lot of money from the EV transition. I hear stories of 70 - 90p KWh which is disgraceful.

Most efficient?! *laughs in Hyundai Ioniq*

How if I buy a car 2nd hand, below £40k? Do I pay extra road tax? Or if I buy it new, above £40k, and keep it until it dies, do I pay extra tax on it for all those years? This makes no sense. But it's just like all the other taxes that cause fiscal drag (such as inheritance tax): If you don't keep the thresholds updated by inflation, they become increasingly irrelevant, oppressive and ludicrous.

We have a 2022 E-up. My wife loves it and so do I . Highly chuckable. Beats most diesel's at the traffic light grand Prix. Great city car.

BULLSHIT... someone paying you to peddle this crap ? ... e.v. cars are a JOKE.... and so are those that promote them.

My Seat Mii Electric reports similar figures, however when I calculate efficiency by comparing charge levels before and after a journey with the mileage, I always get a significantly lower figure.

Almost like there is a interest by MANUFACTURERS to sell MORE EXPENSIVE cars!?!!? imagine that in capitalism, what a shock!?!! You hit the burning problem, why is EV market made only of wasteful overweight inefficient cars that are opposite to what EVs whole purpose is.

Imagine the mass market using these little EVs at 1p/mile with octopus. Petrol version - 168gCO2e/mile. EV @ 200gCO2e/kWh - 27gCO2e/mile

I have a lease eUp and it's a great little car. I'm still a little disappointed that the upcoming cheap electric cars don't seem to be as efficient - the Citroen eC3 has a battery that's got 16kWh more usable battery (44 compared to 28) and only manages to eke an extra 38 miles of WLTP range. You would have thought the technology had improved since the eUp/Citigo/Mii was developed :( (FWIW, I think my next car will probably be a 2nd hand Hyundai Kona - it has great efficiency too, a bigger range, and the prices are really good just now)

I don’t think you said the name of the car or if you do it went too fast for me!

The screen wh/mile is completely bogus on the Seat Mii. R Symmonds in one video says one of his employees drove 127miles (in one go) - started with 98% charge and ended with 7% and the screen said 5.1miles per kwh. Now something just don't add up here ..... 98% -7% = 91%, the car is supposed to have a 36.8kwh usable battery, 91% of 36.8kwh = 33.5kwh and 127miles / 33.5kwh = 3.79miles per kwh not anywhere close to 5.1miles per kwh that the screen was indicating.
