Thanks Jim… that Ioniq 7 looks like a total monster! I showed a picture of it to Hetty, and she looked terrified! She is game for taking on suvs, but she draws the line at trying to force something the size of a house off the road 😆…

Great news this morning 😊..thanks for your breakdown and research..

If I had £10 to bet, I think it would be on Tesla and not VW. The temporary shutdown at Shangai and Berlin are to install additional production lines to effectively double their output. Remember the VW ID3, ID4, ID5 and Buzz are all first generation vehicles. Their MEB platform will be discontinued shortly, to be replaced with the new SSP platform. Tesla is already on it's forth itteration with the Model Y . . .

That Ioniq 7 looks like a direct stab at the Range Rover brigade, if that thing tips in at £50-60k it’ll sell in bucket loads.

There is a problem with supply of the BMW i4 m50 because the wiring loom was manufactured in Ukraine. Mine was ordered in January for a June delivery, I have not been given a build date .

Thanks, very interesting, as always. I am not surprised at the decline in PHEVs, I always thought of them as a Gateway drug, get your first fix of Electric driving, and you want more.
Tesla have some very serious challengers, Hyundai, Kia, and of course the mighty VW group, and many models are way superior.

Jim, VW have allegedly sold *all* their EV production for 2022, and into 2023. I did see a projection somewhere a while ago, stating that VW plan to have a range of 40+ electric vehicles on sale by 2040.. I wonder if Mr Musk has similarly ambitious plans? I think the EV's introduced with greater range will eventually mean that the electric cars with lesser range will find their way onto the used market, and potentially provide those whom perhaps have smaller budgets with an opportunity to own an EV. And given the possibility of fuel prices staying high in the future, it may offer a solution for many. And of course, by the time these less costly used EV's hit the market, the charging infrastructure will have hopefully improved further anyway, thus helping to negate any range issues...

An alfa romeo EV 🤣The one thing alfa`s have always been notorious for is their electrics !.
