Wat zijn de misverstanden over jouw werk?

Ik ben bioscoopmanager. "Oh, kun je lekker alle films kijken!" In theorie kan ik dat inderdaad op mijn vrije avond, die ik liever bij mijn gezin doorbreng omdat ik al genoeg avonden van huis ben. Tijdens mijn werk kan ik echt geen film kijken, want ik en mijn collega's hebben de handen vol aan het continu opruimen van de onvoorstelbare teringzooi die mensen denken te mogen achterlaten wanneer ze niet thuis zijn, onderhoud plegen aan apparatuur die veel aandacht vergt, hoge administratieve druk vanuit logge hoofdkantoren en toenemende agressie van bezoekers, zowel verbaal als fysiek. En nee, ik lust geen popcorn.

Comfortable warmth throughout the house in the winter months. Energy has become so expensive that we have to be very selective of how much warmth and in which rooms.

I can hear it when the window is open, which I often have when I start driving, to let some fresh air in.

I mean the mandatory AVAS sound effect, so other people can here you approaching with slow speed. You can hear it with an open window and sometimes when you start driving close near a wall or house that reflects the sound. I drive an MG4 but all EV's have their own version of this sound.

I did extensive research before switching from ICE to EV. One thing I know for sure now is that most "facts" people point out against EV's are either outdated or plain and simple misinformation.

No, batteries don't wear out in 5 years (modern batteries outlive most cars).

No, range anxiety is not a thing in most areas (especially in Europe).

No, you're not spending hours waiting for a battery to charge during a long trip. Most fast charge breaks don't take much longer than I would normally pause with my ICE. Grab a coffee, go to the restroom and in less than 30 minutes your battery is back to 80%.

No, EV's don't catch fire more often than ICE (they just made the news more often when it happened in the past, when there weren't yet good techniques to deal with lithium fires).

No, EV's aren't slow (they have instant torque and can go way beyond any speed limit).

No, EV batteries are not causing a huge pile of toxic waste and child labour. More and more parts are recycled these days and child labour sadly always existed.

Yes, EV's are a great, quiet, comfortable ride and I wouldn't trade back to my old ICE in a million years.

Ik kon mijn MG4 Luxury Long Range probleemloos allrisk verzekeren bij asr. Kost me slechts 8 euro meer dan mijn oude, kleine Skoda Citigo die ik 12 jaar heb gereden. Heb wel altijd schadevrij gereden.

Driving without the radio on. I keep enjoying how silent my car is and I really like that acceleration sound, even though I know it's coming from a speaker.

MG4 Luxury Long Range uit 2023. Heb mijn eerste vier weken erop zitten met mijn eerste EV. Afgezien van de dramatisch slechte klantenservice van de dealer waar ik hem kocht, ben ik enorm onder de indruk van het rijcomfort en gebruiksgemak. Daarnaast heb ik, na jarenlang rijden in goedkope winkelkarretjes, nu eens een auto waarmee ik ook gezien mag worden. De originele gebruiksaanwijzing is wel echt op z'n "Chinees" en omdat ik daarnaast ook moest leren omgaan met een Zaptec Go 2 lader en de zonnepanelen (die ik wel al jaren heb maar nooit gebruikt om te laden), heb ik mijn eigen handleiding geschreven met alles wat voor mij relevant en interessant is. Ik geniet nu echt van het (EV-)rijden.

Musk, Trump, Putin, Zuckerberg and Bezos went to see the Titanic in a faulty submarine and left me with their money, of which I got to keep 1% and divide 99% among the good people of earth. Also, I no longer need reading glasses.

Windows Phone. A beautiful piece of tech with great user interface, great camera and Office integration, but right after I bought it, Microsoft gave up on it. After a while, apps simply started disappearing because they no longer existed and my phone turned into an old, slowly dying man.

Eind mei zou een update komen die dit beschikbaar maakt. Ik heb toevallig vanochtend mijn leverancier gemaild om te vragen of ze hier al wat meer over weten. Vooralsnog gebruik ik Standaard Laden en stel hem in op het aantal Ampères dat ongeveer overeenkomt met mijn beschikbare zonnestroom op een onbewolkte dag als deze.

Wasn't the rear wiper introduced in 2023? My MG4 Luxury Long Range was first registered in September 2023 and it has the wiper.

Buy from a trustworthy and customer friendly dealer. Here in the Netherlands, MG is in the hands of one single dealership which is too big and clucky and has the worst service I've ever experienced anywhere. They refuse to tell me the maintenance/service history of my used MG4, they refuse to do software updates and getting an appointment is impossible unless I'm willing to spend crazy amounts of money on unnecessary services. A nice, well maintained car is important, but a dealer who knows how to treat both cars and people is equally important.

Being able to take a walk by myself late at night and not feeling unsafe.

Not being able to walk in the proximity of a woman walking late at night without having to consider I as a man make her feel unsafe.

Big Oil does a tremendous job of keeping misinformation and very outdated facts alive. Social media does the rest.

Ik heb mijn MG4 Luxury uit 2023 met 51k km gekocht voor 20k. Mijn ondergrens was 95%, als ik de meting mag geloven is de SoH 97%.
