From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Sean’s trusty old 24kWh Nissan LEAF still runs great, but with only ~80 miles of range, it struggles on longer trips. So what happens if we swap in a 50kWh battery upgrade? The result could be nearly 200 miles of real-world range, turning this LEAF into a truly…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . After a wonderful time in Tuscany and Lake Garda, we head back to England in the VW ID.7 Tourer (Pro S Match 86kWh) via the Italian Alps. And after about 2,500 miles / 4,000 km, how much has the trip cost? And, more importantly, what does my wife…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . It’s been a wonderfully sunny few months and that’s translated into some impressive feed-in (export) figures. I discuss how much Octopus have paid us, and talk about an annoying couple of issues I’m experiencing with our AlphaESS parallel system. If you’d like solar panels on your roof or…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . It’s road trip time again—this time in the VW ID.7 Tourer (Pro S Match 86kWh): a fully electric family estate with a claimed 422-mile range and loads of space for all our luggage. Join us as we head south from Uckfield, East Sussex, all the way to Tuscany…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Planning an EV road trip? 🚗⚡ After driving into mainland Europe seven times in everything from the Kia e-Niro to the VW ID.7, I’ve learned what works (and what doesn’t) when taking an electric car on long journeys. A big thank you to EVision Electric Vehicles, the UK’s…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Flaviana gives her thoughts about the Skoda Elroq. Will she like the looks? The clever Skoda touches? The space? The sound system? And which does she prefer? The Elroq or Kia EV3? And does she even remember the EV3?!… Find out about all that and, as always with…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . I hear from a lot of people who love their Skoda Enyaq. The Elroq is its smaller sibling and it comes along to rival EVs like the Kia EV3. I test its efficiency, comfort, tech, cup holders, and plastic trays. There are *a lot* of plastic trays… —…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . If you’re looking for a big, comfortable, mile-eater then the BMW iX could be the EV for you. I hired the old model, the xDrive40, and tested it for a week, taking it for a 300-mile round trip, testing charging, seeing what luggage fits in it, and how…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . We bought our 24kWh 2015 Nissan LEAF at auction in April 2021. Unfortunately we’re now selling it, but before we do, we get it valeted and take it for one last drive. How much does Flaviana love it? Let’s count the ways… This video is sponsored by EVision…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Our system was installed back in April and, although we hit a couple of bumps with it, we’re thrilled with how it’s been performing. Here’s how much profit we’ve made from exporting. This video is *just* about profit from export. I’ll be doing another showing the savings we’ve…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Do you want a big electric motorway cruiser for your family? The BMW iX and Tesla Model Y “Juniper” are two options, but which to choose? My friend, @JonathanPorterfield was in England with his brand new Model Y so I thought I’d drive up to see him in…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . If you’re looking for a big, comfortable, electric SUV, could the BMW iX be the car for you? My family and I take a road trip to meet up with Andrew’s family and test the comfort, charging speed, and much more. This video is sponsored by 3W floor…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . When I drove the Kia EV3 earlier in the year, I loved it (watch my review: https://youtu.be/7cNbq7W6Ct8 ) so naturally I was excited to see what my wife would think of it. What is there not to like? It’s a more modern e-Niro, a car my wife and…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . There’s no denying that the Tesla Model 3 has been enormously successful. The new one (code-named “Highland”) builds on the success of the original, adding more features and refinement but, controversially, removing the stalks. I spend a week with the Model 3 Long Range RWD to see what’s…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Years of driving different EVs has left me wondering why some amazing features remain in some EVs but absent in others. Whether it’s Hyundai, Kia, Tesla, Renault or others, it seems they could all do with copying each others’ homework a bit. Here’s my list of the things…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Our solar and battery install from Heatable was completed on 9th April (watch here: https://youtu.be/yJe8LfrG_8k ) and it’s been absolutely brilliant. But we’ve had a couple of annoying issues… Firstly, one of the solar strings (a string being a series of solar panels connected together) wasn’t working. Secondly,…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Our Nissan LEAF has served us well the past few years, but it’s time for a replacement. We’ve decided to sell our LEAF and replace it with something with a far more capable range. I asked my friends at EVision Electric Vehicles if they’d be open to giving…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . In the previous video (https://youtu.be/SFGOi3J28l0) I spoke about why we wanted solar panels and battery storage: we had to do something drastic to reduce our enormous bills. We chose Heatable to do the work and after weeks of anticipation, installation day finally came. Here’s what they did. If…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Kia are at the top of their game with electric cars but their announcement that they’re getting into the commercial vehicle game surprised everyone. What we didn’t know then was just how competitive it would be. This could disrupt the industry. I take a look at the PV5…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . It’s been a long time coming, but we finally decided to reduce our bills by generating our own electricity. Here’s what kit we’ve decided to get and why we’ve opted to get Heatable to do the installation. We’re thrilled Heatable are working with us. If you’re interested in…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . It’s been a long time coming but I’m very happy to say we now have a home charge point: the myenergi Zappi. It’s a charge point I’ve had before and had zero complaints. Watch how the installation went, why I like the Zappi, and how to use it.…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Having been a big fan of our old IONIQ 5, it was about time I tried the IONIQ 6 — its more efficient sibling — especially as the facelift version is due out any moment. You may not be considering a new one but there are plenty of…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Baby was with us for 18 wonderful years, through every high and low. I wanted to make a video celebrating her life. I’ve tried to make it as upbeat as possible, but forgive a bit of emotion that may had slipped through the net. We don’t know what…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . The big benefit of high depreciation on new cars means used EV buyers can get a great deal. I talk to used EV guru, @JonathanPorterfield to see what his top picks are. We could have chatted for hours on this topic so have surely missed out loads of…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . In the last video I showed Flaviana a selection of new EVs to get her opinions. We missed out a few though, so we’re back for more. Also, the winner of the one-off, hand-painted, ugly-as-hell Mr. EV mug will be picked from a hat. Who’ll be the unlucky…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Description Across Europe, CCS has won the rapid charge connector war. The weirdly-named CHAdeMO, is dying out. So where does that leave drivers of the Nissan Leaf, Lexus UX300e and old Kia Souls? Could the EV-Boy CHAdeMO to CCS adapter be their saviour? I meet up with Paul…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV .

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . My mission is to show Flaviana the latest bunch of EVs (well, pictures of them anyway) to see which she likes the most. Perhaps one could be a LEAF replacement?

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . The combination of range, efficiency, and size has made the Kia Niro extremely popular. Kia insist the Niro isn’t going anywhere, but with a longer range at a lower price, I wanted to see if the lower trim, long range EV3 “Air” makes for a suitable Niro replacement.…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . I’ve been using the convenient but slow granny charger to charge our EVs since we moved house, but I really want to charge faster at the cheap rate, so I’m desperate to get a dedicated 7kW charger. But which one?! With so many on the market, I’ve asked…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Not just one of the best selling EVs, but one of the best selling cars in the world — the Tesla Model Y ticks a lot of boxes for families. It’s got masses of space, good range, charges quickly, and has all the usual Tesla toys. The new Model…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . From smashed glass to fitting ventilation, there’s been a lot of activity in the last couple of months at our money pit. We’ve been fixing things, making some improvements, and just despairing at the running costs thanks to the electric radiators. Here’s a (long!) discussion about what we’ve…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Having reliable rapid charging infrastructure is essential to give people the confidence to get an EV, so here’s my round up of the rapid charges I did in the UK during 2024. All the highs, the lows, and a big Shell rant. Stop press! Here’s Zapmap’s 2024 charger…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . As we reach the end of 2024, the family sat in front of the tree and talk about what’s in store for 2025.

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . We hear a lot about how terrible log burners are for our health due to PM2.5 emissions, so we thought we’d test it for ourselves. Join my sleepy wife and I as we do some highly scientific tests(!) Temtop S1 air quality monitor: Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/3ORH2u9 Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/4iqpaEf Amazon.de:…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . We’re always hearing stories about how awful EV charging infrastructure is, so I thought I’d see for myself. Having just moved house, I decided to avoid plugging into the lovely, easy, 3-pin socket at home and instead rely on public chargers for a month. This is how it…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . The most convenient chargers are surely the ones in places you already park your car. One of the largest supermarkets in the UK, Sainsbury’s, has decided to go big or go home. Their Smart Charge EV hubs are appearing quickly across their stores giving their customers a convenient…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . We’re loving our new house, but after getting a smart meter, it’s become clear that it’s costing a fortune to heat. We’ll explore insulation in a future episode but for now, what do we do with this rotten conservatory that leaks rain and air? Our viewers have a…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Today’s the day we move from our house in Canterbury (where we’ve been for 3.5 years) and go to Uckfield, East Sussex — where hopefully we’ll stay for longer! As well as a tour of the new house, I show how I managed to transport four chickens and a dog.…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . In part one we drove 1,354 miles / 2,179 km from Canterbury to the Italian Alps in a Kia e-Niro, doing the unthinkable and not planning where we’re going to charge. https://youtu.be/H7Xrc7OO4rA How did it go? Perhaps better than expected! In this part, we spend some time in…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Moving house always brings its challenges. In our case, we’ve moved to a place that clearly needs some work done to it. Using a thermal imaging camera is a great way of finding areas where heat is being lost and, since we just have electric radiators now, keeping…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . We changed to Octopus Energy’s Intelligent Octopus Go tariff about a year ago and, for us, it’s saved a fortune. Here’s what it is, how it works, and how you might be able to save some money as well. Here’s Octopus Energy’s Fair Use Policy: https://octopus.energy/policies/smart-tariffs-terms-and-condition — Join…

Over our 5½ years of having this channel, every like, subscribe, comment, and affiliate link clicked has helped it grow more than we could have ever imagined. We would like to devote more time to making videos though, so we’ve…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . If you’re getting a used EV, you might want to find out what its battery health is like before buying. Or perhaps you want to find out for your own EV. And maybe you have an old EV that doesn’t do good route planning with charge stops. An…

From Andrew Till / Mr. EV . Tony bought a 30kWh Nissan LEAF at auction — a decision he soon came to regret as *everything* started to go wrong. Although it’s clearly a cautionary tale about buying unseen at auction when you don’t know what to look for, it also shows that everything is fixable…
