EV vs Diesel East to West - Costs, Times and Final Summary

PART 6 - In this final video Geoff sits above the beach in Pembrokeshire to discuss the costs and times for both cars. There’s also a general summary of the 3 challenges we have done so far: John O Groats to Lands End in a 2008 BMW 320D North to South Wales in a 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS 320 CDI East to West in a 2005 BMW X5 3.0 Diesel Auto Which was Geoff’s favourite car, and why? There’s some general conclusions too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to a SIX PART video series that will be posted over the Christmas break! EV vs Diesel, 400 miles, East to West, Race against The Sun Welcome to the big Christmas special! Lee @TheMacMaster and I are driving against the sun from Ness Point, the most Easterly Point of the UK to St David’s Life Boat Station in the West of Wales in Pembrokeshire. This 400 mile journey should be simple... we have around 8 hours until the sunset but we have to contend with bad traffic, bad sat navs, bad charging networks, bad driving and in my car, bad suspension. Lee is in his £120,000 Porsche Taycan EV and Geoff is driving a £1,000 BMW X5 with 217,000 miles on the clock, bought the day before and driven straight to the start line. There’s a lot on the line with this one...! FULL PLAYLIST: Part 1 - What car shall I use for the adventure? Part 2 - The train up, collecting the new car, driving to the start point, fuelling up for the trip Part 3 - The pre trip chat with Lee in the pub Part 4 - Geoff and Lee at NESS POINT ready for the off Part 5 - BIG VIDEO! Part 6 - The costs and summary #TopGear #TopGearChallenge #EV #Porsche #BMW #GeoffBuysCars #MacMaster
