MX 4X 379 mile range!

US protectionism helps consumers how??? Could be a great pricepoint for 1st cars and young families

What sort of sucker would fall for the claim of 379 mile EV range………….oh, hang on

We have T***a mainly to be thankful for the early proliferation of EVs, and other mainstream manufacturers to a lesser degree.

However, their products thus far have served to acclimatise us to cars which simply can’t cost as much as ICE vehicles to R&D and produce being sold at such high prices.

Now enter the Chinese (mainly) who, it will appear, are going to serve to normalise the pricing of EVs in more sensible proportions which largely account for the significant increase in EV sales here in UK.

This ^

And current petrol/diesel prices.

Note that the car is a Chinese car and range was estimated with the Chinese cycle, which is *far* more lenient than the EPA cycle.

“Estimated” EV range and ICE mpg figures have always been as good as a lie legitimised by inept governments and their regulations which never really regulated effectively given the quoted figures from a practically and achievable point of view has always been my observation.

But those prices are where they should now be in my view making EVs more affordable to the approximately average motorist which will fuel EV take up and promote manufacturers to drive their EV programs.

You also get a lot more range and some massive hardware cost savings with only 168hp; though I'd actually prefer an EV with 168hp for my kid's first car...

Quite true. Not sure puppies and 168HP match up but I'd gladly have something that slow as a second around town grocery and possibly a long trip car. Daily, I'd put my paw on the MME GT's go pedal. Sub-2 mi/KWh life for me!

Slow? Car? I was not aware those words could be used in the same sentence. Are you sure we’re talking about EVs? I’m pretty certain that slow and EV violate some quantum mechanics law or rule or something. Unpossible!

Pudel–Feynman Electron Agitation Principle


“When electrons are confined within a high-density traction battery and subjected to rapid discharge, they exhibit relativistic impatience, producing an unavoidable tendency toward excessive torque, instant throttle response, and unnecessary acceleration.”


Corollary:

The probability of a battery-electric vehicle behaving like a sensible appliance decreases exponentially with available amperage.


Additional supporting “theory”:

Due to quantum tunneling effects, electrons do not merely travel through conductors — they briefly glimpse freedom itself. This existential awareness manifests macroscopically as 0–60 times no family crossover actually needs.


And the engineering shorthand:


“You can build a slow BEV.
The electrons simply prefer not to participate.”

Quantum Torque Conservation Law

“Any sufficiently energized electron cloud will eventually convert at least part of its potential energy into embarrassing acceleration.”

The only proper use of Ai is utter nonsense.

Oooh, is that why my washing machine accelerates from nought to 2000rpm in 1.25 seconds?

Who trusts the EPA these days?

According to their cycle, our ers might be 390-405 miles awd or 416-432 miles rwd
(+30% - +35% over the EPA cycle)

Wow!

So by their standards Ford over estimate the range by 47-63 miles for my RWD making the Chinese calculation less misleading than Fords but both still unrealistic.

MILES over the EPA cycle!!!

It seems that the Chinese cycle is more optimistic than the others.
It's even more so than the old NEDC in th EU...
