If I can convince wifey to convince her CEO that chargers in the school car park would be a good idea...

EV chargers at school for staff is a good idea.

EV chargers for staff that are free to use is even better.

JLR had accidently done this with 80 of the on site chargers......18 months of free juice was much appreciated, sadly its now been 'corrected' and charging enabled again.

Anyone with an electric car cn come visit me at work and charge it completely free while your there.

They are known to have a very low walk away percentage when crashed

......despite not being able to see the dark side of 50 MPH.

Perhaps they are made from recycled Trabants or plastic pigs

I think this gives a good idea of the issue  :

Christ alive. I wouldn't drive anything where my knees are the crumple zone!

How on earth are they type approved for uk roads?

Actually scratch that, I bet theyr're like the Citroen AMI ie. not actually a car.

without the Adblue nonsense.

Is that a deal breaker?  It is something else to top up, but no more frequently than screenwash and just as easy.  Only hassle is storage, but you are an retired civil servant so I'm sure you'll find a suitable shelf in one of the manor's many outbuildings

Seriously, though, it's not really any hassle.  I'll completely ignore the debate about is it worthwhile to the environment, blah blah

I'm sure it's safety record is no worse than your average golf cart.

Now be honest, who here hasn't rolled a golf cart?

I rolled one with my then boss in, opps!

When I had errr, I mean somebody I know had Adblue Delete done, the power delivery was instantly noticeably improved. I was not expecting that but it was an added bonus.

These fellas do it and say it is undetectable:

But.....I wouldn't be confident that an insurance company wouldn't find out in the event of an accident.

I saw one last time I was down in the smoke, I wasn't sure if it was some kind of disability carriage so searched YouTube to find out exactly what it was , can't believe anyone would actually want one.

On my lowly pension income even screenwash is barely affordable 😂

It's a valid point.    When they say undetectable, I'm guessing that they are referring to MOT inspections. It would be instantly obvious to a main dealer when they plug in their software as its mapped out, so their standard map would throw up an inconsistency. Some vehicles have the adblue requirement mapped out on a temporary basis as parts (tank pump, line heater etc) are genuinely on back order for many weeks on end. It would be unreasonable to expect someone to have their vehicle off the road for months while awaiting parts, when those parts do not contribute to the running of the vehicle.
You are right though, it's a very valid point. 

Incidentally, the pre-facelift version of my car did not have adblue. Same engine, same bhp, but no adblue. 

[Rangie]

I would never delete anything from a vehicle simply because of the insurance implications, if I were to purchase a Landcruiser I'd find an older model that didn't require Adblue.

Pre 2016 then, like a lot of other manufacturers.
