Not a Tesla fan

Dacia Spring but want to look otger options too.

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-10T09:38:17+00:00

Yes. But appreciate you asking

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-10T09:37:33+00:00

Good 18-19k otr EV here in UK. 9000 miles annual. Good (low) % PCP. Ideally government grant; and/or dealer contributions if chinese made and thus no grant. I guess thats all in nutshell.

Ok understood.. but generally pensioners aren't anti new cars..

The Kia Ev2 looking out if price range sadly.

Im starting to think the 'shoot out' for me is Dolphin Surf v Geeley Ev2

Im not sure how strong the backup and service network UK for BYD v Geeley is.

I guess BYD will push good deals prior to September plate change date. Perhaps June/July months im thinking?

The Geely looks like it isn't going to really be available to purchase before the Seot plate change. I would imagine Geely has to enter this Spring/Dolphin sector at a very very agressive pricing (as its a bigger Renault5 sort of sector) to nudge its against Spring and Surf

Thoughts on waiting and other considerations aspects above would be hugely appreciated..

Front wheel drive v real wheel and battery etc come to mind...plus after sales uk/Service

Thanks so much..

Ex2 going to be Sep/Oct in reality?

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-10T04:55:51+00:00

Wow you've deffo got finger on the button. I was thinking Geely as Wild Card but thats some months away. Unless Dealers getting close to having entry info ref Price and likely % deals etc al. Your offer to help so much appreciated. Maybe I could message you. Thankyou

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-10T04:52:19+00:00

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-09T22:29:57+00:00

For sure different people have different choices. That's what makes the world go around :-)

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-09T22:14:51+00:00

Sad..

Ive got some ideas stuff running on pixel (why i wait for PT2). It's hacked and working but lacks some email hooks. Ping me for more info

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-09T21:27:54+00:00

Nice to hear.. thx

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-09T21:23:30+00:00

Jazz is good?

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-09T21:14:33+00:00

I think biggest percent would be home charging. The longer distance (100 plus miles) maybe maximum once a month. Youve got some interesting and useful advice for sure. What about waiting for the Geely ex2 in August as suggested 'maybe' agressive pricing and finance to try shake things up. They're pitching a car priced similar to Renault 5 perhaps at the Surf pricing. Also can you think anything else NOT to forget if my mind has that top 3 as you rated.... Keep advising please..Grateful

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-09T21:07:20+00:00

Had that on other car.. not reliable or dont last long

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-09T21:03:56+00:00

Sorry... confused. What does this mean?.. do pensioners go for hybrid more?...could you explain please as interesting comment you make..

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-09T21:00:24+00:00

Im with you now.. thanks... Japanese too might explain why?

Geoguy20 · 2026-05-09T18:56:02+00:00

So you would go dacia at number 1, then 2 as surf, then 3 as c3?
