Omg Snuffleupagus 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Public transport is the way to go..Look at Madrid bus service and metro are great.. Tony cuenca

Good to have Johnny back.

Carrefour in Torrevieja has several electric charging stations already. My daughter & son in law travelled over from the UK last year in their Tesla and found charging stations all the way.

O the charging station for the cars what’s it going to cost the car owner

Correct 15.6% was the highest, thanks to Margaret Thatcher!!

Quite a good idea, technology will advance, so watch this space. How much will the government charge for expired batteries?

Comments in this section today are riddled with fake facts and ignorance, sad to say. Ignorance not as an insult but as general lack of knowledge how an electric car work, it’s costs and charging methods.

On an apartment block if you have a dedicated parking spot you can install a charger by only sending a notification to the neighbors community. You don’t need a permission.

As of today, even with increased electricity prices it is cheaper to charge an electric vehicle than refuel a similar vehicle with petrol or diesel.

Also, you can program the vehicle to charge in valley hours, like between 1am and 6am when electricity price is lower.

Also, you don’t need a full charge all the time, depending on your circumstances if you drive 50-60kms per day you only need a full charge every week or so or you can top up every two/three days if you like.

Off street parking: here in London chargers are blooming everywhere, mostly from street lamp posts. You pay using a QR code and it’s a decent 5,5kW/7kW charging speed for most vehicles overnight.

No, if we all use EVs we will not break the electricity grid because not everyone charges at the same time in the same way not everyone tops up fuel at the same time. Even if that happens chargers can balance kW and Amps to avoid an issue. Myth clarified.

I’m not an EV an advocate, it works for most people but not all. You can travel with an EV, yes you can do it. It will be different? Yes, more relaxed, more planning but cheaper and with more stops to enjoy the trip. Needs a mentality shift. Nobody does 1,000kms in one sitting. It’s dangerous.

Some people can’t afford the initial cost at the moment but that will offset after 2-3 years with reduced costs per mile.

I am a petrol head, love cars but I can agree that fossil fuels are on their way out. Bette to accept it today than in 5-10 years.

Another fantastic episode 😀 Thanks very much to both of gents

The corrupt EU bankers have created a system where ordinary Spaniards will live in poverty, while zombie banks and multinationals will live like kings.

Poor Jonny hope his head cold gets better.

I had a mortage in the low 20%'s during the early 80's in Canada…wasn't pretty!

Johnny with the money

Where I live in California, the Targets have various charging units outside. Just drive up and plug em in. My neighbor has a plug in his garage. I guess it’s going to take time for it to be everywhere.

The prices of electric cars have increased 10% as well… But Tesla has a good range. I think like 400km.

Thanks for the video

I have no interest in buying an all electric car. In the UK they are far too expensive to buy new & I certainly wouldn't entertain buying one 2nd hand! I live in a terraced house, so any charger would have to be at the front of the property, which means that I would have to park on the road outside (IF there was a vacant space!!) & run the charging cable across a public pavement – dangerous! The mileage range of an electric car is still not very good. I do quite a few long journeys, so charging the battery would be an issue. If I were to drive down to my house in Spain, that certainly would be a challenge!! Then when I get there, again I would have charging problems. My house is part of a terrace, with NO parking outside the front of the property. The parking is generally in a field at the back – charge where???
I have a couple of bugbears about electric cars. As a pedestrian they are too quiet, so you don't hear a car when it approaches/passes you! I really don't know how blind or partially sighted people contend with this – it must be a nightmare trying to cross a road! I have been working in a front garden of a house when an electric car goes by & it makes me jump, as I haven't heard it until it is next to me – VERY scary!! My other worry is the batteries themselves. They are composed of lithium, nickel & cobalt etc which are mined in countries such as Argentina, Chile, Philippines, Indonesia etc – at what cost?? These countries don't have the best records for wages & safety of their workforce. There is also a worry that there is going to be a shortfall in the supply of these minerals, if there is a huge demand for these batteries. So what's all that doing to our environment

I hadn't thought of the charger issue. Very interesting Stu.

Perhaps employers can offer charging stations and folks can charge their cars while they are at work. Here in california, electric chargers are popping up everywhere. It’s becoming very convenient even for those without a garage. Change is possible. Love my electric car!

A friend of mine had a client who decided that he would drive his Tesla from the UK to Almeria and it took him 5 days…..!!!! basically because he struggled to find hotels etc with charging stations for his car.

Switching over to an all electric future will be time-consuming and extremely expensive. In the U.S. (I heard-correct me if I'm wrong) there isn't one plug/receptacle design for charging, but four of them. It's a minor detail, but it will have to be standardized, in the same way that a gas station nozzle is of standard design throughout the country. That's just the start of "switching" over to an all electric future, as if it was like flipping a light switch. So easy, right? As long as the greenies keep pushing for it, the more chaos they'll create through heavy-handed government mandates – because they know no other way (other than armed force) to convince the people to "accept" their terrible ideas – to compel us all to comply with their zero co2 dreams.
A more reasonable transition scheme would be to offer rebates on hybrid cars and trucks of all types and…to pump more oil out of the ground. You want energy security? That's how to do it.

Saludos Stu, after a couple of years of cancellations due to COVID-19, my wife and I are traveling through España again. Thanks to one of your productions we spent a night in Chinchón, wonderful place. We will be in country for a month, with stops in Jaen, Marbella, Caceres and Panes (Asturias) before returning to Madrid and then home in Tennessee. We’re driving a Diesel engine Citroen, looking forward to fuel price relief, if it really happens.

Comparing electricity prices to fuel prices 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It costs me £14 to get the same mileage I used to get from my Freelander which would now cost me £100+. My smug cup runneth over.

Provocation of Russia by NATO. Make peace with Russia and Venezuela.

That was 37 years ago…. I do remember those days as I was back in Spain and struggling to find a job.

Looks like cold weather in Madrid

The high inflation is devastating. What’s Spain doing for the many people who only earn €700?

Just keep that in mind the Govt always blaming on something, situation, crisis and so forth instead of their own failed policy. The fact remains, this Govt just playing politics as usual. SO fasten your seat belt for more wild ride to come for all of us. The people will always get ripped off no matter what for the population to pay for crisis . . . .

With the new batteries and fast chargers it will only take a few minutes to charge at a station. However I won't be changing my petrol car with zero road tax and 65mpg for many many years !

In the late 1970's the interest rate in the UK was at 17% at one point, and it could even have been higher.

Was in Mojacar last year and you couldn't run a toaster in the morning…! How they going to charge up EV's… total madness and utterly unrealistic…

Very good point Stuart. Electric cars & chargers in the traditional apartment complex. Difficult solutions😍
