I would like to buy an EV at the right time BUT, they are very expensive at the moment.
I was invited to test drive a VW ID3 car this week at Breeze Poole but declined. Apart from the price and poor plastics in the drivers compartment and the current range anxiety that you'd get. What puts me off is the fact that VW have decided the basic heater / ventilation controls are controlled via a LCD panel.
Safe way to adjust those as you're driving along - not!
I reckon whoever designed that must also sometimes write apps for smartphones with all the settings and controls that only someone who's 25 or under would immediately 'get' or understand (rant over!).
I have a 3yr old VW Golf Mk 7.5 EVO petrol engine 1.5L 130bhp and consistently get > 50mpg on a run. Quiet cabin.
I'd consider a Golf MK8 in 2-3 years time but they have that rubbish LCD panel as mentioned above.
Looking at Hybrid cars last night out of interest , reviewers made a big thing of 40 mpg, as I say I can beat that.
Yes I would buy an EV one day, if I'm around(!) but they have to improve in all sorts of ways first.
Sorry, I know it's a footie forum but we've had the Brexit thread for years also the Scott Parker thread goes off on a tangent sometimes too.
