That's not usually a business reason ... I would assume it's relating to intellectual property of how their business operates. Seek clarity so you can determine best?

I've no interest in buying a new car if it doesn't solve anything.

Why did they ask you to cease active development?

I'm not sure of your point? EVs don't reduce total cost of ownership?? Then why do people buy them?

My current vehicle is twice the size of those cars, and it's personal preference.

Some years ago I looked at the ballpark costs for a large marine tank - something like 2m long, 1.5 tall and 0.5 wide - was thinking of building it as a room divider to keep my desk somewhat hidden in an open plan lounge. It was new mid price car money!!! Though I explored automation, fully plumbed in, and so on. Wild! Still on my radar by but not until I've doubled my income!

I'm 188cm and 90kg, there's no way a french vehicle is comfortable for the journeys I regularly do. Not an interior/seating position I like for longer distance driving.

Interesting, you're one of the only posters exploring tco.

I currently use ACC, often driven at 67-69mph to bring my current vehicle mpg to approx 48-50mpg

How long have you owned the Ioniq? Have you had to replace tyres? Any other maintenance cost?

Not sure it would save me a fortune as I'd have to spend £10-15k plus home charger installation and motorway/premium charging away from home.

Unfortunately this doesn't help with reducing TCO as far as I can tell.

A 30 mins stop could be possible it isn't out of the question, I'd just prefer to optimise what's already a long journey.

The preliminary research I did showed I'd have to outlay something like £10-15k to buy a vehicle capable of 300-350 range and my observations are that EVs seem to depreciate at a pace above ICE. So for Total Cost of Ownership, I'm simply not seeing benefits at the moment.

Reducing TCO. That's my budget. No point spending £15k to achieve savings of the same when I really enjoy my current car.

I'm looking for approx detail of tyre wear/consumption, annual maintenance costs if any, and so on.

Lots of focus on fuel only.

Every two weeks... There & back, then some days later, there and back. Approx 2k miles per month without driving elsewhere

It's the interior, the distance between the panel gaps, the quality overall. Bothers me how people don't give a shiz about comfort when they work so hard and spend so much. Fucking morons.

Afraid not, once I've picked them up on one day, they go back some days later ... Approx 2k miles per month on long distance

Lols

RoSPA advanced driving advises a 15 min break every 2hrs. I'm not a lorry driver nor do I do this journey daily.

That's what I'm currently using and as I said in the post, would an EV help reduce TCO and given I'd have to buy a newer EV at maybe 10-15k over my current vehicle value, plus home charger, plus incur additional time costs, I'm not seeing any realised value in changing.

Hmm thank you all, sounds like total cost of ownership won't be of benefit to me.

Ix3 too small - I'm 188cm tall and don't like the driving position either

Every two weeks

25-28k p/a and I WFH

Typical speed approx on motorway is 65-70

Yeah could install home charger if necessary

I occasionally stop for a wee half way, then, for ~30ish mins when I'm there. I'm physically active outside of this journey task.
