Heres my EV6 GTline Dual motor. Very pleased with it, I test drove a GTline S & found that the 20 inch wheels made the ride a bit too jittery for my liking so went for the 19inch on the GTline. Only complaint is the GT line doesnt get the auto presenting door handles which sometimes makes opening the doors a bit of a faff. I was initially worried about my choice of the Steel Matt Grey paint. However i coated initially with Dr Beasley's Matt protector & it still comes up as showroom finish after hand washing. I will re-apply next week after 6 months & 5000 miles of driving. Driving sedately in eco mode i get around 290 mile range. ( Kia states 314) Going for it in sport mode it drops to 230 ish. So far so good.

Nice is that the Seat one? Interested to see how you get on with it.Readers “Car” thread?
I charge it at work a couple of times a week so no fuel costs (to me), so other than a new lid and some riding clothes etc it’s about as cheap as you can get other than my pushbike.

And I couldn’t see it was a car only thread in the thread list, so sorry that it’s only got two wheels! Happy to move if it’s offending anyone (if there is a 2 wheeled thread for EV’s?)
When I said Readers car thread, I ment start a thread in that section to share your ownership experience, as it will be interesting to know.. ie how does it charge? Three pin plug or type 2?mdk1 said:

Three pin plug or type 2?Yes I’ll pop something up about it. Three pin just to answer, it’s a 50v DC battery, 6-7 hours to fully charge but I only use about 30% each way on my commute.
It’s made under license by another Spanish company called Silence, you can effectively buy the same bike but with Silence branding in the UK for the same money. They’ve been about for around 10 years and specialise in electric scooters for short range urban commutes/deliveries etc

Cool, what's the reason for the change? Any difference?
Car renewal time.Its a Black Edition and not HSE so in terms of spec is quite a spec drop (couldnt order HSE due to chip shortages), still 400bhp
Its got Air suspension and the performance seats i could add but lost alot... Matrix lights, 360 camera, HUD, cooled seats, lower touchscreen, not even a decklid spoiler and all the previous Windsor leather is now leathette or 'DuoLeather' including the wheel which I'm amazed how much difference that has made to the overall feel of the cabin space.
